~~I'm not going to rate the game for now because I simply didn't get what I was supposed to do... and then suddenly I died. A tutorial or at least instructions would help if you can add them !~~
Strike that, I'm dumb. See comment further below.
This game was great! I could see myself playing this for a long time trying to get a highscore! The graphics are also great. One thing is that when lots of coins are on screen, it starts to lag and the fireballs stop working. Anyway, great game!
@eclahn The instructions are in the Ludum Dare description. Is there something unclear in the description?
@leetleaf WELL I'll blame the fact that rating games at 5AM isn't exactly optimal. So, the gameplay is actually pretty smart. I didn't exactly understand when the countdown appeared over the shopkeeper or how I kept disarming it, I think by touching him ? But I still get the idea and I like it. The pace quickly picks up and it feels nice.
@eclahn No worries haha, we're all tired. I did forget to write in the description about protecting the shopkeeper. If too much gold surrounds him, he will drown. (I've updated the description)
Very nicely made game, I glitched outside of the wall during my playthrough but I noticed that unity colliders do that a lot when theres too much shit on the screen/colliding with your character.
Fun and original game, I enjoyed playing it! I think the red/blue background is too contrasty though, I get a chromostereopsis effect :-) The sounds are also a little harsh. After about 10 minutes the frame rate slows down. Nevertheless a great entry!
EPIC! I don't think there's anything better than picking up a bunch of coins... that 'ding ding ding ding ding..... ding ding ding' is a drug! Well done! Only thing I'd want fixed is the slowdown with a full screen of coins, I'd still be playing if my computer could handle it (Firefox browser on windows 10)
Nice idea. Before the theme been chosen, i thought about doing something with dragons, but then change my mind... u had a great idea... dragons really like treasures, sometimes they like it too much! kkkk
Very satisfying to scarf up gold. I just wish chest pickup were automatic on collision.
I forgot to login but goldhoarding.png
I was confused at the start on how to play, but afterwards I totally got it, very fun idea! Getting all the gold, and being a cool dragon was fun!
Really fun concept, nice art and sfx. Wouldn't mind some music and some collection variety or some other sort of progression options, I guess. Otherwise, what's there is pretty darn solid.
Best of luck, and hope you had a great LD!
Neat idea, good take on the theme. Got a bit laggy before I died.
Nice idea! cool game! 👍
Fun little game. I would have liked a musical score to help improve the mood. Good work!
Was a lot of fun to play! though my game got laggy during the last few seconds of my playthrough
Great game! Very cool and interesting! :D
Super fun game - I like that you can hire helpers
It took me a while to understand how to play but then it was quite fun! This repeating coin sound is so delightful ^^ It became very laggy at the end and graphics could be much better. But otherwise, good job :)
I had no idea at first what I was supposed to do when the slime (green squares) started coming from the pipes :D. Then I figured out it was gold that was mentioned in the description coming from the pipes and felt so stupid :D. Fun game after that point! Maybe the gold should have been shaped and colored differently to make more readable.
@sambi Both me and my brother are colorblind which would explain why the gold is green lmao. I did the art and my colorblindness is a bit worse, but I'm not super good artist either. Anyways, I'm glad you enjoyed the game and I think it would be funny if the dragon was trying to get slime out of the lair because that makes way more sense than gold haha
9100! I feel like this is a decent score. Very cool concept, and fun and engaging to play. Not to mention the whole setup is just the right kind of ridiculous. I love the confused shopkeeper just constantly getting in trouble, aimlessly wandering into the gold.
