How does your game meet GBJam's theme
We bet everything on how similar the two words (old, gold) are, making a game in the Wario Ware style where you play some classic ("old gold") minigames to, somehow, turn one word into another with just one letter change, of course including old to gold.
The old tricks never get old and that led us to the magician theme around the game with some stereotypical yet absurd situations.

The game graphics are beautiful! It's really charming!
Took me a while to understand how to play the games (some of them i'm still not sure) but the concept is nice!

Knight of the moonlit pathA fun collection of mini games, and I like the magic theme of it all. Magicus the Great was cool, and the win/lose animation at the end of the game was fun.

Gold Rush - (GBJAM 14 Version)amazing game, just needs a little text box like WarioWare that give a little direction such as "Grow the trees" or "Play a song" to help guide before the minigame starts. I like that once you beat a minigame though it was out of the queue and just wanted you to beat each one once.

Gurti's GoldFun game! I suck at it, but I kept trying anyway because I was having a blast.
Graphics are great, it has a lot of character and the art style is memorable!
Soundtrack and fx sound good, pretty on point for a real Gameboy release.
Gameboy Soul is here, this definitely has like, Warioware vibes and I love that.
Quirkiness: The minigames are so off the wall! Very quirky
Secondary theme interpretation: It's a little bit of a stretch but I'll say it was a clever subversion of the expectation around it and give it a yes.

Gold Digger's GambitReally creative and quirky with the stages. I love me some WarioWare minigames! Really good job on the sprite work as well! My favorite one would be the Old man race haha.

FroginderiaThe art here is so good. The game where maybe a bit too cryptic, but I had a great time.

Astral treasure hunterI love the WarioWare style and your visual design is super tight. I have absolutely no idea how to beat the stork or the rat level though :(
Submitted
Frogball DemoThe art direction here is awesome, especially the literal "PEW" in the space microgame. "Warioware but longer" formula works! Love it!

Saloon in a Golden DesertMost of the games were a bit cryptic but I also suck at real warioware.
Not bad, I enjoyed, loved the animations and the way you did it fully!
Submitted
Geezer QuestThis was great fun! I had no idea what I was doing throughout most of it but they're essentially tiny puzzle games so I guess that's kinda the point :') Still don't know what I did to get past that bird... the hint made me think I had to play the Wonderwall melody but just an octave or two seemed to do the trick haha! The game looks beautiful and feels very Gameboy - I had a lovely time, thank you!
Submitted
Slylist: Blackbeard's BarberI didn't really understand what to do in most of the minigames but I really like the graphics!
Submitted
PoyPoy's Mean Mining MachineHad a few laughs with this one haha. The art and animations are awesome, fun warioware twist
Submitted
Kota ChompI like the humour, some pretty clever ideas. Good twist on a warioware game where the stages are a bit more like puzzles rather then being obvious how to clear. I couldn't work out the bird one though!
Submitted
Tower of GoldI really like the fresh take on the theme, and wow, the art is so great! The minigames provide a really impressive variety for the playtime as well.
Maybe I'm just a bit dense, but the Bird / Bard minigame was difficult for me to understand, even having beaten it! I'm glad there was a built-in hint system. Aside from that tiny hiccup (again, probably just a me thing), this was a very enjoyable experience :)
Submitted
Fool's Gold: A Jester's QuestIt's absolutely not a you thing! We weren't very sure how to make that one work and was the last done in a rush. We thought "just play enough notes to make it feel deliverate and show that you know how to swing by holding up and down", so the goal is simply to play 18 notes or so. The hint was something I thought would read as "just trust what you're doing" but I've find some people overthinking it too much haha.
Thank you so much!
the grandpa with sonic shoes made me laught ! fantastic graphics and anim ! Some stages are a bit hard to understand but overall its a nice wario ware :)
