How does your game meet GBJam's theme
The game treats “old gold” as both treasure and curse. You board a ship that looks empty but still runs on the greed of the dead.

There are a lot of levels to try, it was fun for the most part
:DI got stuck at the level where I had to blast a path with 2 skeletons in it, I ran out of coins, and I couldn’t even interact with the chest
There’s no way to pick up coins once I place them, and when I pressed START and chose Restart, the game bugged, so yea, that’s it
I think it could've been more clear that the coins were such a limited resource, but this was quite fun before I ran out! I really liked the parrot mechanic, it'd be interesting to see some more stuff with that, like being able to carry bombs across gaps or something.
I liked the lure mechanic.. and I read some other comments so I knew that coins were a limited resource, so I didn't run out. In fact, I did finish the game, although not without many, many deaths at the hands of the captains.
But I *really* liked the parrot. I wished every level had a parrot. :D
Didn't really care for the music, but I see you can turn it down or even off.
The lure mechanic was really cool. I made it as far as I could before I ran out of coins. Made a lot of accidental button clicks early and wasted a bunch of coins.
Really fun game, and the visuals gave me a strong classic Game Boy feeling. Nicely done!
One suggestion: it would be great to have a way to recover the coins after a mistake, or at least restart only the current section instead of having to repeat everything.
Cool game! I like the idea of luring enemies with coins. Unfortunately I could also not reach the end as I eventually ran out of coins at "The Spiral"
A lot of fun and great music and puzzles!
This is a lot of fun, some really great puzzle mechanics. I did have the same issue another comment mentioned, when I was figuring out the game at the beginning I put down a lot of unecessary coins and then got softlocked later on. But I was able to reach the end on a second go :)
A great game! I like the gameplay tho the enemy AI is somewhat dumb.
