I ran into a glitch on level 3, where the end screen wouldn't stop showing. But otherwise I thought it was pretty cool. I liked the idea that you had dues to pay to 'the boss'. Though I might have put stairs under only 1 of the boxes and not all of them

I was confused by the chests always leaving a ladder behind, but I confirmed I was getting gold still. Overall pretty good! You have to add sounds and music, and maybe some variation in the enemies. You'd be surprised what a few of these improve the game that much more

This was a fun little push your luck game! I definitely am too greedy for my own good. I made it ~483 gold on level 9 during my best run but got triple pincered and summarily executed. Very neat little puzzle that has room to grow if you want it to. Have fun out there!

It's a cute little game! Not bad for a first game. I agree that having a ladder every chest is a bit OP, but can't say I didn't use them xD Its fun get the booty and run!

Good basics for a fun little game, great job for a first game especially! :)
It feels a bit overpowered to have a ladder spawn under every chest and the boss is so cheap, like i could easily pay him double :b

procedural generation is pretty good, i like that you can avoid combat by tricking enemies to walk around you.

the attack upgrades are never enough to one-shot the enemies, so they feel kinda useless.

i think upgrades could be more interesting if they could be unlocked faster by collecting gold.

I liked the map upgrades, Fun concept got me thinking on my strategy to get money quickly :) Good job!

It's uncommon to see the whole map on one screen. So many ladders!

You got the basics right, but it feels unpolished and incomplete.

I hope you keep working on it, though.
