Cute game, stellar visuals! I wasn't really sure how to consistently get my coins to go into the play area, they seemed to randomly go above the bar regardless of when I timed it.

How does your game meet GBJam's theme
You're playing a coin-pusher game, where the enemy's a 300 year old cursed pirate-coin.

Quality and polished entry! Maybe the most authentic take on the theme of I've seen! I got to the idol, swore I tilted thrice, but still got the bad ending. Clearly I missed something.
Great entry, that I wouldn't have guessed as being a jam product.

Sassa'ShoomVery cool interpretation of the theme. I had lots of fun playing this, especially after I read the store page and understood the special coins and coin biting (I had to skip the tutorial because I was unable to progress past the teeth part because I accidentally used them all before that lol). Overall a very nice game!

The BeachReally fun take on the theme. Making the whole game a cursed coin pusher is very original, and I liked how the curses changed things up.
The palette looks great, the pirate music fits perfectly, and the sound effects have a lot of personality. Very charming entry.

Kota ChompCool take on the theme as I have seen coin diggers, coin fishers, coin puzzlers, no coin machine so far. The coin variation was also a nice touch, overall a neat idea!
Graphically the game looks neat, has it own minimalist charm to it. SFX and music are well made, they don’t really get monotone or harsh or anything.
Cool idea, lovely execution!

Old Gold, Old BonesThis is such an original interpretation of “old gold”, I love it! The style and Game Boy vibe were cool too. Great job!

Dugongs & DoubloonsVery cool concept with a great vibe. There was a lot of tutorial text, but all it really needed to say was "Push this guy off the edge!" The rest of the mechanics come after that.

For Our Forgotten MemoriesAn interesting idea executed very well, I like the visuals and the music but the gameplay didn't really connect for me, with all that said its a very cool concept and its clear a lot of effort went into it.
