Pretty cool, but too hard for me, the security is scary ! Also, i don't like the bindings :s

It's cool, I ended up not grabbing any artifacts though, and sometimes the character didn't want to jump (but that was rarely so it wasn't a problem)
I really liked the music and general sound design. The art and animations were also very good. The theme fit well not just mechanically but also physically(I had to claw at my keyboard to hoard all of my loot). Trying to move all of the money up platforms was very laborious (which is likely the point because it fits the theme). The collision was a bit awkward at times (on the platforms), it was possible to not be able to jump whilst under a platform despite not visually being under the platform.
This is LD40's best music I've heard yet! Btw thanks for the comment on my game!
Weird, I have not experienced this bug before! Well, I guess I'll have to do more in-depth de-bugging and testing if I want to do more with this game later. @tvance Thank you! Happy to hear that :) @rob-white Thanks! I was hoping some one would find the keyboard-clawing/intentionally difficult controls when carrying more artifacts interesting!
Great game, I was surprised this was a compo game, this is really well done, the sounds and music are very good, and the game itself is pretty fun, the art is good and makes an amazing mood that fit the main idea, great job, even though I could not get a "gold rank" lol
Really nice music and graphics! On the gameplay side, I found the air control to be a little too unforgiving (reminded me of castlevania), which is frustating for a platform game.
Very cool! Nice artwork, nice music. Very interesting concept of holding multiple keys to hold different objects! Unfortunately my laptop keyboard doesn't support more than a few alphabetic keys pressed simultaneously. Keep up the good work! :)
@Vottivott Thanks! Yeah I noticed that limitation only after LD40 was over : / I'll just have to re-think the controls for a potential future release!
Nice game, I liked the fact that you could carry more of the artefacts with 4 keys, the robot felt like a haunting presence especially on the final map when it comes from above haha. Noticed some slight anomalies in the game, threw the orbs on accident at the door and couldnt get them back anymore and when I jump and land on the ground I get a couple of frames in which I cannot jump.
Fun game though, lovely music and interesting concept :)
The mood is great in this one, aided a lot by the music and sfx. A solid take in the theme, well done :)
Cool game! The jumping physics felt a little weird, you can't stop your forward momentum, but you can reverse it. If you overshoot a platform you can't drop down on it, you have to go past it and then go backwards. I thought that I might be able to hide under a platform from the robot's sensor beam because of the way it hovers above and beams downwards.
I thought that the controls for holding multiple was pretty cool. It complimented the issue of the more you have the worse it is.
@niborious Yes I agree that the jumping physics needs to be improved. The scanning through platforms was intentional though as to give you the feeling of "always being watched". Thank you for all the feedback! :)
tricky little game! enjoyed it.. controls a bit funky but easy enough to adapt to..
I couldn't quite figure out how to carry everything, but I was enjoying the music in the meantime! Cool game!
I like the fact that there are 4 carry keys but I decided to discard my greed and just escape the drone. Also I like the art, especially the drone. I initially didn't like control but it takes a little practice. Overall, nice work.
Very challenging game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 40 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yel2Ap19z6s
I love the music in this
Hey Tim, you already know my struggles with the controls ("Jump, man, JUMP!") so here’s the Let’s Play again for further reference ;) https://youtu.be/Hh-8vviv5_g
