How does your game meet GBJam's theme
In this game, “old” is not just an aesthetic or a sign of weakness. As you age and become more damaged, you also become rarer, more powerful, and more valuable — turning “gold” into a measure of increasing worth rather than literal gold.

The more you wear down, the stronger and more valuable you become, but also the closer you get to breaking.

Thanks for your comment!! I think adding 10 stages would feel more natural and make the game easier to understand.

Nice concept and pretty creative read of the theme. I think it would have been improved by your character becoming older with hp as well as  getting bloodied but I really like what you got there. Especially how your page get the player expecting an rpg just to hit them with a puzzle game instead.

Solid entry. Very charming.

Glad you liked it! Thanks for the feedback too. I definitely agree that adding a bit more detail like that would’ve given the game a lot more flavour!
