I love the direction you went with here! I had to play the web browser version, so its possible I didn't get the full experience based on your comment, but it seemed like everything worked for me and I enjoyed it! Great work on the art, its made very clear what everything is supposed to be. I feel that the music leaves a little to be desired for my tastes, but I think it all comes together well enough that its something I can get over. Great work!

The art is very bad ass I love it! The music could be a little more punchy, but thats just my tast.
While playing I thought that the game could lean more into "dance" theme. Maybe the player is dancing his way to the mine and dodge monsters while pick up gold. Just my two cents :D
Great work!

Nice soundtrack, I’m a rhythm game player myself :)

What’s weird is that the A & B buttons are reversed from what I’m used to, but I’m glad there’s the control customisation

About the telegraph bar, I think it’s too short to properly read, but I don’t mind the direction

Saved this to my favourites :D

I liked this one despite how bad i am at it. when emulating i am not a fan of wasd, so i personally found this unusual to control with it only be wasd. I love the sprite work and the different palettes used :)

The art in this game is really good, really striking visual style. My favorite track is LOSS[ROBOT]KICK.

It feels a bit strange that winning is tied to getting your gold high enough and not to defeating an enemy, makes it so winning can kinda jumpscare you.
