How does your game meet GBJam's theme
The protagonist is Old Gold himself; he is ancient gold that creatures want to steal: pirates, dragons, and goblins! (Goblins aren't in the game because there weren't enough events in Construct 3, so they were left out.)

Strangely compelling; I had to beat some levels ala Super Meat Boy just to make sure I still could, haha

Got stuck on the part that said “think of the hyper dash from Celeste” as I haven’t yet gotten the chance to play it just yet! Still, quite an interesting little game. Kudos!

A great take on the theme, especially playing as the Old Gold himself and leaving little gold bits behind as you run.

The dash under low blocks feels great, and the dizzy golem on the game over screen is such a nice touch. Cute idea and fun movement.

Great take on the theme, playing as the old gold himself with little gold bits trailing behind him as he runs. the dash slide under the low blocks feels good, and the dizzy golem on the game over screen is a great drawing. nice job

I really enjoy the concept that you are playing as old gold, and that things are after you ha. I enjoyed the platformer approach and especially the learning tutorial part in the beginning! It allowed me to get used to the speed and movement. Good job!

I enjoyed the gameplay and the color palette is like this deep blue kind of makes me think i am in a sea. I also enjoy the movement of when you press z and you start smoothly moving and jumping feels good and the game feels fast but sometimes I get stuck but it can feel fun when your avoiding obstacles and moving fast so I like that for sure and avoiding things chasing you like the birds sweeping and moving towards you. Good job with the animation on that. I know you already recognize the bugs with sound but yeah keep making games

Thanks! Yes, the gameplay is a bit confusing, but it was my "first game jam" (I did another one, but there was a bug in the game when the judges played, so I was disqualified). But thanks for the feedback.
