I quite enjoyed this! Great art, decent audio, and a mechanic that feels like a fun interpretation of the theme. Good work!

Throwing the coins around was pretty fun. Using realistic sounds in pixely games sounds kind of weird sometimes but I think you did a really good job of it in here. I also liked how you used the theme.
I enjoyed this a lot. The puzzle design is good and the art and sound work together well. The increasing weight is a great way of using the theme.
I didn't see a way to do this, but some way to reload the level would be nice. Just a quick button press to start over.
There is a way to reload. the 'X' button should do it. Thanks a lot for the feedback, everyone!
Wow. A seriously high quality game right here. Well done. Seriously well done.
Very nice game, with good visuals and audio. I liked the level design.
There is a bug though, the edges of the screen are clipped on low resolutions, making it impossible to see the gui and parts of the level.
Thanks a lot, @holyblackcat! It was an aspect ratio issue. Should be fixed now! Glad you liked it :)
It's a 64bit ver. only? I would be glad to play it with a 32bit ver. or an HTML5. Because your idea is so similar to ours, I need to try it HAHAHA
@victor-sette Added a x32bit version, working on an HTML version! Sorry, It's my first jam :P I gotta check your game out!
Thank you! I tried to play but for some reason I can't jump. With or without the backpack. I press space and nothing. But wow, for the bit I got to play, I'd say you have a wonderful entry for your first jam game! If my jump worked, I would say that is one of the best I've played in this jam!
Nice job. I like this mechanics with coins and backpack.
Hey man this is pretty dope! Probably the most interesting implementation of the overburdened mechanic for sure. I was definitely hooked with the puzzle design.
Among the many games featuring heavy coins in this game jam, this one is definitely the most original I have played so far.
Trying to balance the load between several backpacks while your coins keep bouncing back at you isn't the most compelling part of the game, but I guess one gets used to it over time. Maybe using the second mouse button to drop your coins with less power could be a nice option, though.
Great work anyway, I would love to see more levels added.
One fo the best coin based games in LD40! Well done! - Gameplay is smooth as butter. - Audio is great! (Did you do it all by yourself?) - The game is fun to play and the puzzles are good. - Over all a very well made entry.
Very well made puzzle game. One thing I had an issue with is needing to put exactly the number of coins onto the pad instead of X or more onto the pad. Thought I was doing something wrong or something was broken and had to restart and try again a few times until I figured it out. Overall great job!
Very nice. I had a lot of fun and the graphics and audio were nice too. There was just a little problem with lag. The framerate was pretty high, but then it suddenly dropped, making the game unplayable. But overall this was a really good game!
Very nice atmosphere and mechanics, I loved it ! I chose to include it in my jam review : https://youtu.be/Z-H-WO1iqss?t=772 Don't mind to ask for translation because it's in french. Congratulations !
Nice puzzle design overall, interesting to see more entries taking this level based puzzle design :)
I sympathize with the feeling of neglecting other things in favor of LD for a while.. :D
If theres any one thing which had me confuse for a bit was how to drop down from platforms, which I would assume was going to be the arrow down key, but it was actually space + arrow down key, but really thats just a small detail, overall I thought it was a great entry.
Nice work!
I have spammed every key on my keyboard and am unable to find the jump button shown in the trailer. =( Judging on the things I did see though, the coin noises are a little to be loud and obnoxious and while the graphics are well made enough, they were clearly not made with readability in mind, with things blending into the background a little bit and the font being a little hard to read.
@Gomango999 Sorry about that. That jump error is a problem with the x32 version of the game. I've removed that version from the page, as I have no idea how to fix it.
