How does your game meet GBJam's theme
Okay so: i related the "gold" with the best games to come out on the game boy era, with the first example being super mario land 2, and old of course relating with the nolstalgia of the game boy: Old Gold -> Best Old Games in one cartridge! And for those who couldn't have the game boy and had to play with the brick game 9999 in one WILL relate with the old gold thing.

The sfx and palette took me right back. Nice little platformer
thanks :D
Nice platformer, the sfx and color palette really brought me back! I think the gameplay could be improved. As a few other commenters mentioned, it's not super clear that you need a certain amount of coins to beat a level. It was challenging enough to be rewarding when you beat the first level, but due to the level design on level 2 it felt like you have to die sometimes to find where the coins are and having to restart the entire game when that happens was a little frustrating -- it would be nice if you just restarted at the beginning of the level you're on. Unfortunately didn't make it past level 2 but I would be excited to see the other worlds!
Cute but I didn't have the best time. Got through the 1st level and partially through the 2nd. But I'm unsure how possible it is to get through that 2 tile gap under the 2nd or 3rd coin in the level.
Though my main gripes are really the gameplay. The player is too fast and a quite stiff. The camera is lacking with it, not panning far enough nor fast enough to match the pace. While the hunt for the coins is neat, the linear level design isn't great for back tracking if you do miss them. And with no camera controls or coin hints, it is a bit unfair to hide them in places that seem like pits. And with the punishment of resetting the whole world in a rather difficult to control situation wasn't a great time.
Of course, this is all stuff that can be improved though with some time! And the sprites, especially the background ones, are nice.
Thank you for your honest comment! I do want to continue the project and feedback like this helps me so much! I hope that on future jams or even future updates you have more fun with a game made by me :D!
Cute game! Really impressive that you made it all by yourself.
Found it a bit too punishing, with falling into holes being a straight-up game over (for the first game). The hit points not being reset in the next level of the game also added insult to injury.
It really captured the aesthetic of the gameboy games! Up to the selected palette. At the same time, the controls felt very responsive.
Nice entry!
Thanks!
Pretty nice game, it reminded me of the first Mario games ^^
You should continue working on it !
Thank you! I do want to continue this project :)
A simple but nice little platformer.
I reached the end flag with 5 coins, but nothing seemed to happen, so I wasn't sure if I had actually completed the game or if I was missing something.
hey, thanks! You actually missed something! You need 6 coins to unlock the flag ;) I actually did not have time to implement a visual sign for it cause I was alone at development so yeah… Once again thank you for the review :)
I managed to go to the flag of the first level but nothing happens. Am I missing something ?
I tried the web version and the linux one, and the same thing happens in both.
hey! As I said on another post, you actually need 6 coins to unlock the flag! Since I was alone for this game jam I did not have time to do a visual warning for this and I do actually plan on doing it!
If you want to actually unlock the next phase, have you thought on checking the pits? 👀👀
