I had a great time with this one! I can tell that a lot of care and effort went into it, and I'll always have a lot of respect for devs that use 3D in GameMaker (I used to do the same). The scope of this game is perfect. There isn't much that happens, but everything that does happen is different than what came before, which makes each event feel exciting. Captain Golden Bones is hard as hell. It had me gamer raging, but that death animation was pretty cool, and I was happy with the ending. So I'd say it was worth the half hour it took me to beat him lol. This deserves more ratings.

How does your game meet GBJam's theme
The game follows Hank Chambers and his crewmate as they search for a legendary treasure called Dollar Bill, after a piece of its long-lost map is recently discovered.
It fits the OLD GOLD theme through the idea of a forgotten treasure from the past being rediscovered. The treasure has been hidden for a long time, and the discovery of the old map brings something once lost back into the present. It’s about the excitement of uncovering something that has been waiting to be found for years.
