Cute and clean art. As a heads up, it's possible to just hold down the whole way :)

Developer

I know that you can hold down the Button. I wanted to implement a solution but I forgot when the Jam was nearly Done. But thank you for playing and for the Feedback!

That was great, I love the mine cart mechanic and the animations of the wheels and flickering lights in the background. The graphics were really well done, and it was fun to take the multiple attempts required to get to the end.

Thank you for playing!

Simple and effective! Gameplay, graphics, and Gameboy feel all felt great! Sounds worked for what you needed them to. Good work!

Developer

Thank you!

The game ended that quickly?? Sad....

It was a nice simple game. It's a cute art-style (grandpa looking young still dang). The mechanics where simple at first I didn't see what I needed to hide from but what can you do with just 4 colours. 

I definitly saw this becoming better with a nice difficulty curve like the cart speeding up (but than the trowing of the bombs should be a bit faster). It was  a very nice simple game! 

Well done!

Simple and sweet. My only suggestion would be to have the controls be displayed in the game somewhere. Good job.

Developer

Thanks for the Feedback!

this fits more like a mobile game, but still it is good! I like it!

Developer

Thank you!

Nice game even though the gameplay was pretty short

I crashed a few times into the boulders when I was learning the controls ahahah

Very simple but surprisingly difficult… but once I got the keys memorised, I could retrieve the gold. loved the cute graphics. well done!

Developer

Thank you!

This has decent enough gameplay that I could see be used in an endless runner game. Maybe it would be better with a soundtrack and some obstacles that you could leap over so you're not holding down all the time, but good job anyway.

Thank you for the Feedback! I wanted to make it so that you can only Pick-Up and Throw Stuff when you aren’t hiding. Unfortunately I wasnt able to implement that in the Time left.

Short and sweet! I had fun with this, I could see it working well as a "see how far you can go" sort of game, or broken up into a selection of stages. Good stuff!

Developer

Thank you!

Really cute art and the palette is lovely. Simple loop but weirdly addictive, had fun!

Developer

Thank you!

Cute game! There's not much in terms of tutorial but I always think that with these kind of games, figuring it out is a part of the experience. I love the art and the colour pallette!

Developer

Thank you!

I quite enjoyed the simple gameplay loop, I just wish the game had been a little longer. Maybe a few extra curveballs thrown your way would've been cool as well. Solid experience, all in all. I could see this becoming quite addictive with a scant few tweaks such as the above. Nice!

If I have to criticise something though it is the obstacle. Even when you're looking for it you sometimes miss it because it feels like it's very much part of the background. Now, that could actually be a devious feature if the game snuck such obstacles in, but as the only type of barrier it's a bit much.

Great job!

Thanks for the feedback! I unfortunately wasn’t able to make the Game any longer, because of the left Time at that Point. (It was planned though)

Simple, yet strangely fun.
