It's not letting me start the game by pressing space. Am I doing something wrong?

It's not letting me start the game by pressing space. Am I doing something wrong?
nice game, the looks are pretty good for the pixel art, and those things flying around are pretty scarry, made me jump over into the pit a few times. the arrow keys didnt work for me for controlling the character, so i dont know if those were disabled or not. the jump physics felt a little off, but thats ok because there are so many ways to make a platformer. i think in my personal opinion though that the controls could be a tad bit tighter so i dont over jump ledges and such. but over all this was a nice looking game and it did what i expected it to do.
Quite good gameplay, but I found it very hard to use A/D/Space to get around - I think L/R arrows + Space would've been a more intuitive control scheme. I presume the L/R+Jump you mention is for gamepads.
@sundancekid No, you are not. :) Some have experienced this, but all have been able to play with a page refresh.. I have NO clue why this happens on some browers :/
@jcmonkey Totally agree, the jump feels off, I did wan't to tweak it, but ran out of time.. And I should have added arrow keys to the controls.. Forgot all about that. :/ Will be added later. Thanks for playing :D
@rsim I'll make sure I never forget adding arrowkeys ever again.. Thanks for pointing it out :) Thanks for playing :)
Game looks great! Loved how the flying children constantly say "money" in a whisper. :laughing: Well done mate.
Promising game but loud sounds are terrible
Can't play the game, it seems frozen when I press space. I have to do something?
@kovakomes Thanks for playing and the nice words :) Money... Money... Money... Money... ..
@week-of-the-agents Thanks, I know, I just ran out of time, and didn't get to add volume control or mute.. Thanks for play tho' :)
@memel06 The WebGl version is always giving problems :/ But try to reload the page, fixed the problem, for everyone I know had the issue.. Hope you'll retry it..
haha the story is great! The art is amazing, I whish I could be able to jump from under the platforms, but I got better once I started using my right hand for the jump and my left hand just for movement xD.
Congrats on the entry!
@incd021 yep refreshing fixed my issue! Nice game, those "money money money" whispers were creepy lol!
@rombus Thanks for playing :D Hitting your head, and preventing you from jumping is all part of being annoying ;) No, it's just the way Unity Tile maps works, or I think it is. It's the first time using it so maybe there is a better way to handle it.. There are a lot things I would like to change, but I'm happy with what I got done :)
@sundancekid Yeah, still don't know why the reload is neede.. Maybe something in unity 2019.2 beta that's messed up.. Thanks for playing, glad you liked it :)
Wow, such a highly finished game! I have to say that I loved the game over bouncy animation...
This game is just wonderful! I'm addicted to it! It's just such a fun idea, a collectathon where you need to bring back every coin you collect to a specific location, while being chased by some weird child gost people. It's just perfect!
@wiseclock Thanks so much.. :) Glad you liked it :D
@mantaraytv-games Addicted even.. :) Nice. Remember you will double your pocket size if you find the huge 4clover. Makes the game a lot easier. Thanks SO mush for all the kind words. :D
ohhh man. those angels (fairies?) don't look scary, but their voices are nightmare fuel. haha! Well done!
Solid little jump-n-run game. Like the creepy 'money money' sfx. A couple of times after I died the 'press spacebar' overlay remained on screen, had to refresh. Other than that good fun!
@blobo Thanks for playing :) Glad you liked it.
@paul59 Thanks for the feedback. I know that the Unity web build is having some issues. Just glad, the page reload worked for you :)
I'm a simple man: I see my name, I click. Ahah it's a fine game. I could see myself playing this with a bunch of friends (lepercaun vs fairies type of game) if it had more levels! It's solid and I didn't really find any way to break it. Good job! :)
@phillserrazina didn't think that the name would attract players ;) But of cause anyone called Phil, want's to play "**Phil**, The Leprechaun Of Gold.". Lol... Wait?? Are you telling me that you finished the game? Wow.. Think you are the second I have heard of. Nice :D Thanks for playing, and the feedback.
Those whispering children will haunt me tonight haha. It's a solid platformer, the movement could be a little bit more refined though. Nice work!
@liauj Glad you liked it. Yeah, the controls isn't feeling solid, but sluggish. I'll refine it after rating ends. Thanks for playing :D
I had to become left-handed for this :) but I really liked it! The graphics is perfect and music and sounds are killer!! I'd play again just for them.
@tommyflower Glad you liked it so much :) I'll update the controls, so you can play with the arrow keys in the future :) Thanks for playing, and the positive feedback :D
Man, I'm bad at this sort of game! It looks and sounds great, and playing it for a bit was a lot of fun, but I didn't get very far at all. The backstory is very nice, and ties it in really well with the theme!
The angel's whispers kinda spooked me. The game works really well, kind of addicting. Great job!
@frank-gevaerts Thanks, I'm bad at them as well, but that isn't going to stop me from creating them ;) Glad you tried anyways.. Making the leprechauns be animated gold, and the rest of the story wrote itself :) Thanks for the kind words :D
@fashionbatman Glad you liked it :) Maybe the children shouldn't be angels, but devils. But they started out to be something else, but the time limitation, forced me to change them and their movement. Thanks for playing :D
Cool Game. The enemies are looking pretty creepy and the controls are kinda on the point. Mayebe it would be better if there weren't only one way around. Sometimes the Children block the only way out.
But nevertheless, the sounds kreep me away but really really cool work. Well Done
@deathstorm The dead ends, is a challenge :smile: It helps a lot when you figure out the way the dead children moves :wink: Thanks for the very kind words and the feedback. :thumbsup: :notes: Money.. Money... Money.. :musical_note:
Money.. money.. money.. :) I'll hear that in my dreams for sure :D Nice funny platformer, controls feel good, visuals are really nice. And those children... :D Nice one!
The game is a bit too hard for me but still very good, well done!
@jiri-hysek I am amazed how many "likes" the kids money, money chant :) Glad you liked the visuals, first time trying to really make tiles for a platformer. Thanks for playing :D
@solah It was meant to be hard, but it turned out to be **very** hard.. ;) I must confess, I haven't gotten to the end myself.. Just glad that a few others have, else I would be nervous that I missed a bug or something.. Thanks for playing :thumbsup:
Neat!
@deathbysnail Short and to the point ;) LOL.. Thanks for playing :D
This has a really classic arcade game feel to it. Though the formula is simple, in that you just collect stuff, reach a goal and don't get caught. This formula is proven fun. The implementation here is good too.
The sprites are well drawn, the audio is on point and the game mechanics are fair and functional.
I'll agree that the game is a bit too hard, but probably only because of my own impatience. If you take the time to lure the children away before making a dive for the hardest to get coins it's not overly difficult.
I'll say this, having read your profile: Had I seen this game available in a plastic bag on a hook in my local computer store when I was a kid and bought it, I would not have been unhappy with the purchase.
Good job!
@vinay-rao Thank you so much for you **very** nice review :D Nice that you found out the only way to win, is to wait in place and lure the children from time to time. Glad you enjoyed it :) and thanks for playing.
I like the pixel art and the controls felt direct and quite responsive - saying that, I kept missing jumps as I bumped the platforms. I ran into some bugs as I couldn't collect a few of the coins, I just passed through them. It was funny that the "damned children" chanting "money money money" =) The audio was suitable but somewhat confusing with what appeared to be random pitches of the jumps - or did they have any game affecting significance with the pitch differences? Good work, I liked the mood in this game.
The art style reminded me instantly of Lemmings and the children are so terrifying! I think I was having issues with the controls as I always ended up in the pit losing my precious gold. If the game were a little bit more lenient I would have gotten all the coins! https://youtu.be/lVCsQbSi-js
@imphenzia Thanks for playing.. If you walk through the coins, it's because your pockets are full, and you have to return to the cauldron. Nice feedback on the jump sfx, I added the different sounds just to have some variation, but can see how that can be interpreted to have some "real" influence.. Thanks for the feedback. :D
Hi @philstrahl, you really made my day yesterday, when I finally got around to see you play my game. :D I'm also having issues with the jump not always working, but I only found out after submitting. I'll have to look into what is causing it, as it's a simple grounded check and key-input check. Weird.. It was really fun to see you just as frustrated as everybody else, I have seen playing it ;) It **is** hard and frustrating. I like the idea of not starting over when failing, but just loosing coins like Sonic. I would have made it a lot easier if there where more levels. A lot of people are having issues sleeping after a runin with the children... You also suggested having multiple ways to get to the powerup. There are ;) but guess you have to play a few more times before you realize. Fun to see the flashing C64 screen again, it's been years :D Thanks for playing and inspiring all of us to better ourselves. **THANKS** PS - I have only heard of two people completing the game, so don't feel bad ;)
