How does your game meet GBJam's theme
Mr. Garry Oldsten ( G.Old...sten) is going through tunnels filled with gold coins to find out real twist, his family photo and Alzheimer's pills . So the idea that old gold is his family and he build those tunnels himself, just forgot about that.

Fantastic entry with an excellent thematic delivery. Art, gameplay, music, and pacing all come together to deliver a consistent message. 5 stars all around for me.

Sassa'ShoomA pretty nifty take on a sokoban. Could definitely be a little clearer visually to distinguish height, but solid puzzle design overall and a good complexity curve. Well done!

EyeroborosThis is an excellent puzzle game!!
It’s definitely one of the best games from this game jam. I absolutely love every aspect of the game—especially the interpretation of the theme—and the ending made me feel a bit sad :(
I found a small bug: the initial dialogue box sits on a higher layer than the pause menu, meaning that if you open the pause menu while a line of dialogue is playing, the text box remains visible.

DarkroomSuper cool and loved the secondary theme interpretation! Do wish there was some more visual clarity between variations of the coins and ground tiles, which I found a bit difficult to parse. Otherwise good work!

Apocalypse of the Old OnesReally cool puzzle game! I wish there were a couple more levels but what you got is really good. The visuals are great. The sfx are bit crunchy for my tastes but the music is good. I'd love if you'd leave us a rating as well!

Battle for the Golden SkullThe puzzles in this really made me think! Loved the little story and the journey it represented. The sprite work was really well done and it was very pleasant to look at overall.

Treasure Behind the NonogramsReally cool twist on Sokoban! It took me a while to get it but puzzles are meant to be a bit like that, right? Is it not me just being old and dumb? Huh?
Great job!

PoyPoy's Mean Mining MachineReally clever puzzle game. The coin stacking mechanic is great, and the puzzles build on it nicely.
The different tile heights added nice variation.
The story also gave the whole thing a surprisingly touching ending. Really nice work!

Kota ChompFloor height variation was very tricky to figure out due to the artstyle which I feel like is one of the “biggest” issues of the game, otherwise it is a cool sokoban-like.
Graphics other than the mention issue were great, sfx and mx were okay, and the puzzles felt nice.
Well done!
