How does your game meet GBJam's theme
Some of us may think of gold as something purely material, something valuable because of its price. We decided to approach the theme in a more emotional and psychological way. The loss of someone you love can feel far heavier, and far more costly, than any amount of gold.

In our game, “old gold” represents the precious memories of a woman who has lost her boyfriend. As those memories begin to fade, music slowly brings them back, allowing her to remember the moments they once shared. Like old gold, these memories may have been buried by time, but their value never truly disappeared.

Graphics and music were great! The toggle platforms seemed to switch really fast and it felt kinda luck based, but maybe that's just a skill issue on my part. But I really love the movement and controls, and visuals were the best of any game I've played so far. Nice work, hope this does well!

I really enjoyed this. I never play rhythm games but I think this one was really well done. The art was really cute, the palette was great, and of course the music was good. Good job!

I really liked the idea and you executed it well. I like the way introduce the movement mechanics with obstacles, wish I had spent the time doing that with my game. Anyways I hope your game does well

The concept and soundtrack are really cool! I really like rhythm based games and a rhythm based platformer is right up my alley, I just wish that the flutter was a little stronger sometimes and the camera moves a lot when you change directions repeatedly but otherwise I really enjoyed it! :)

This was super duper fun to play and I really liked how instead of just the song changing per level the entire color palette change too. The only thing is that the feature where whichever direction you look the camera points farther towards felt really exagerated. But great game!

Super cute! Some of the check point placements weren't the best, but it's hard to go wrong with a simple platformer.
