@j0ye Deep meaning and deep gameplay, 10/10 in theme

Great game, but kinda dark. That's the only problem I see.

vaincil 2021-04-26 08:42

Cool, it’s a bit hard to see the obstacles, but I guess that’s on purpose! The "arc" that indicates the proximity of one is a great idea, even though it took me some time to understand it, especially for the walls. Great graphics!

I really liked the concept and the mood. Great take on the theme. I played it the first time without reading the instructions and missed the part about being able to dodge with space. Would be cool to add this as an instruction in the build itself so that it's self-explanatory. Nice work!

Great game! My wish is that more people would play my game and I got to 417.

Challenging game. I included it in my compilation video series of a bunch of LDJAM games! https://youtu.be/R25_tXZwmbw

sheinxy 2021-04-27 15:39

Original concept that fits the theme quite well, pretty simple but pretty fun, a bit dark which makes it hard to see the obstacles but overall it's a pretty good small little game!

frogravity 2021-04-27 19:02

Very nice game! I really liked the audio - it was very relaxing. I also liked your pretty original take on the theme: playing a coin is a pretty unique idea. The post-jam improved pretty much everything wrong with the original - my only critisicm is that it starts a bit slow, without any obstacles for the first ~150 meters, but other than that, great entry! My high score in the compo version is 437.

j0ye 2021-04-29 10:50

@sheinxy Have you tried the updated version? I have fixed the issue with the bad lighting, i believe.

@frogman Thanks man. Glad you enjoyed it. I think the first 150 m are great as a warm up, a running start. Playing past them does not really take long anyway. But thanks for that suggestion anyway.

secret-magic-404 2021-04-30 01:01

Such a dramatic/cinematic vibe! Reminds me of those coin flips in movies that take forever before we get to see the result - if we ever see it. Needless to say a video game version is very welcome!

I really liked the simple one button control scheme. The UI was very helpful too and allows you to have more control than you usually do in these one button games.

Excellent submission! :smile:

j0ye 2021-04-30 10:11

@secret-magic-404 Wow, thanks so much for playing. Never compared it to a coin flip in a movie. That gives me complete new game ideas^^.

healthire 2021-04-30 10:47

Beautiful game with a great atmosphere. Very cool take on the theme and fits well. Good music and audio. Controls could feel a little tighter. Sometimes hitting space does nothing and sometimes it does something, hitting space feels like flipping a coin.

xparker 2021-04-30 10:48

I like the simplicity of the game. It's a new SPIN (get it.. spin :wink:) on the otherwise fairly similar games (ours included).

Really digging the audio (and therefore mood) though.

Sorry for the bad puns.

j0ye 2021-04-30 11:02

@healthire There is a 1 sec cool down on the jump and also on the double jump. Sadly i had no time to put in an indicator.

@xparker Dont apologize man, i live for the puns.

theblindeye 2021-04-30 13:53

Really nice game. It's kinda addictive.

strangeryann 2021-04-30 17:05

This is really susprising I didn't undertand you could dodge at 1st this may be the best one-button games I've played and you're the 40th game I try :-D mad susprise also the old 1 euro coins with the rough MSPaint cut made me laugh ^^# haha great surprise loved it well wone :geinning: <3

olddog 2021-05-03 08:34

so good, all system works well ,I like the feeling of fall down :smile:

lucky-trident 2021-05-03 15:41

Super interesting game ! The concept is original and unexpected ! I didn't understand how the HP worked at first but it all became clear soon enough thanks to the flawess sound-design with the "twong" and the "ting.

I enjoyed it, thanks ;)

retrome 2021-05-04 15:25

Interesting concept! Atmospheric graphics and music. Hard to play. With experience, game became more catchy!

Some remark: sometimes you loose multiple coins with single hit when coin falls pretty fast and straight, in v1.1 too.

Cool entry!

yword 2021-05-07 17:09

Cool, really unique idea and interesting gameplay, and quite challenging too!

kooky 2021-05-07 19:45

Nice entry! Beautiful music, really sets atmosphere that feels deep and introspective. I also really like the bump-mapping you've got on the walls, and the little glints of light from the coin on the walls.

Interesting minimal controls too, adds an extra element of luck and randomness to the game.

Good work!

vixenmink 2021-05-08 00:29

What a way to have flipping fun! Very nice music and concept behind this. Great job

fishmasterino 2021-05-10 22:05

I loved the music, gameplay was kinda fun but I wish I could see better.

j0ye 2021-05-12 13:57

Hey @fishmasterino, have you tried the Jam version? Is it still too dark?

kostya 2021-05-12 14:21

Wow! Cool realisation of one-button control.

kuro 2021-05-12 14:37

I like the usage of the theme. The mood is great, and graphics work well - save for the HP bar (I too love to create dark vistas and leave most for the viewer's imagination when drawing more complex stuff, but I do it because I suck at drawing)

Good job

meta-link 2021-05-12 14:47

Cool game ! It's really original and well made.

Good job :slight_smile:

ianthebee 2021-05-12 15:09

Cool idea! I like the coin arc, great graphics, realistic sound effects... great but simple game.

Keep up your end of the deal...

doc-kaos 2021-05-12 15:10

My wish came true when I got to play this game! So accurate ;) Thanks for submitting this. Love the style and "feel" of it.

tentaclemax 2021-05-12 15:16

It's hard to see a coin sometimes because it's pretty dark down there. But the idea is nice. I imagine this game as a sort of hypercasual mobile game.

Probably cartoony visual style would be better for such simple gameplay. Anyway it's playable and fun, great job!

j0ye 2021-05-12 15:28

@tentaclemax Yo, the cartoony visuals are exactly what I'm working on right now. But I can not, for my life, figure out how they would look.

chrissimas 2021-05-12 15:29

Pretty fun! It was a bit too dark for me to see the obstables, I thought it was a problem from my monitor but some people said the same thing in the comments so it can be something to think about. But overall I really liked it!

zaibakk 2021-05-12 16:07

That was cool! Love that it was a 1 button game, quite innovative mechanic for that type of game! Nice job! :)

exilegl 2021-05-12 16:40

I like the unique mechanic. I think the world should be a little brighter (which ig you fixed in the 1.1 version), but otherwise it's a very fun game - good job. The music is good too.

Here's my best score over a few tries :)

viperux 2021-05-12 18:42

Nice game, sometimes it's hard to understand when to flip the coin and where it will go... but after few attempts you can control it quite easly. I don't know why but a couple of times i died ad the first touch... I liked the leaderboard too :-) I managet to get the 4th place! The music is a little bit repetitive but overall this game is a nice entry, well done!

fire-soldier888 2021-05-14 09:31

cool game!! I realy like the music and the gameplay ovelall cool game and i managed to get 674!

qyouk 2021-05-15 11:52

Great mood, and the visuals are pretty cool too! It took me a while to understand what the white line was but when I did, it made the game much easier to play, wich is cool! Cool game, good job!
