How does your game meet GBJam's theme
My game is about finding the ancient legendary city of “EL DORADO.” The main mechanic and core loop revolve around managing gold within an inventory. Once the gold is in the inventory, it can be spent to obtain power-ups during the turns.

Really polished visuals and nice music, with a unique combat system! Really interesting how it was turn-based, but you still needed to go fast if you wanted to use your gold and still do decent damage.

Like the other comments, I think the gold-usage mechanic could be better tutorialized, since I didn’t realize what the right-side items were for until my third run. The full-screen flash effect could probably be toned down a bit too.

I played this on stream today (recording here) in case you’re interested in watching someone play your game. It was quite fun, I definitely enjoyed playing until I finally beat it. Good job!

Such a beatifull game compared to mine xD. We had sortof the same idea only a bit different shown. 

I loved the gameplay and mechanics for sure. Really crazy how it all was made in such short time. 

Really wow congrats!

This is awesome, the combat system is really fun! Managing which and how many weapons you want to carry and how much gold works really well.

I had to look at the comments to understand how to use the side options but once I did I really enjoyed that system too. It would be nice if you could rotate items to try to fit as much as possible but then again having the gold coins taking one slot lets you fill every empty space.

I love how you can tell when your weapons activate their effects when in battle (like if you get a critical hit) and the amount of different items to pick up after battle kept things fresh and interesting. All around solid entry!

The art is just so fantastic. And I love the theme; mesoamerican civ is fantastic. And I like what you did with the shader; it seems against the spirit of the jam to me, but also, it looks really good, and that seemed like an effect I would use on my game if I were to continue with it.

The graphics and music are amazing!
Even though the gameplay is simple, it's really addictive.
It took me a while to figure out how to access the menu on the right (healing and stuff), but once I figured it out, I managed to beat the game :)
Really cool!

Amazing visuals and amazing gameplay. The gameplay loop was fun despite the combat being simple. I didn't understand the gold during the first run, but reading the description made its purpose pretty clear. I personally don't like that choosing an option on the side makes your attack worse, but it's a fine mechanic. If you expand on this game, I would love to see more item variety and more interactions with the backpack (gaining more spaces, rotating items), but for a jam this game rocks.

This game puts all its focus into such a condensed, polished package of a simple and addictive gameplay loop. Well done!!!

Killer game! Lots of fun with a nice balance between strategy, tactics, and action. The visual and audio presentation is stellar. I really love the clean and detailed pixel art! My only gripe was using the side menu. While in theory I like the sacrifice of attack to choose an alternate option, I did find I was stumbling to figure out which action it would highlight first when I hit 'right'.

Fantastic game that I hope lots of people check out!

Lovely backpack packing combat and an interesting idea with the attack bar becoming weaker over time, which makes it more strategical to decide if I can use a gold skill or not. My main issue here is the constant full screen flash which we are getting a lot, and the screen palette changing, which although I don’t hate, I feel like it should be slowed down a bit.

Graphics wise the game looks gorgeous, really nice spritework everywhere. Music and sfx were a banger and the change of pace in the attack bar was a cool difficulty curve.

overall a lovely entry to the jam!

The art and music are incredible. Everything feels super polished, and the transitions and animation really show off what you can do with a limited palette.

I also really liked the combat loop. Juggling your inventory, spending gold, healing, and still trying to get attacks in made it way more frantic than I expected.

Really impressive work, especially for a 10-day jam.

This is a really solid entry! The music was groovy and the sprite work is phenomenal! Even the SFX was well made and placed. Absolutely wonderful to actually have a copy of this on the go on the Game Boy. Amazingly polished despite the short time frame. I really have nothing but praise for this. Wonderful and amazing job really!

Great game, and super addictive!

Wow, the art is absolutely incredible. I have no idea how you pulled this off with those transitions while staying within the 4-color on screen at any given time requirement, but this is genuinely the most beautiful game I've played in this jam so far. Music was awesome too, it was fast paced and really fit the gameplay. Great job.

Very good! I thought it was really beautiful, with good music and fun congratulations!
