Good job on your first game jam!
Most areas are strong, art, sound and programming, sadly it falls a bit short on the
game-play aspect. Walking around and pressing A on stationary stuff turns kinda 
boring after a while. Think It would have been a little bit more fun if the villagers 
gave clues on where the gold could be hidden rather than showing were to dig.

This game is neat with the exploration. But I think for each gold you collected that the player had to go back to the temple waiting 4 years each kind of putting time jumping bit too far for collecting each gold is bit too excessive for the game's plot. I think you could have put down 4 days later after collecting each gold so that the player doesn't wait every 4 years jump to make each time jumps too much. Maybe have all the gold collected will be jumping to a single 4 years instead of collecting every gold that causes the player to wait 4 years later too much. Imaging if the player had to grow very old when collecting all the pieces while waiting 4 years each after collecting one by one. That be too much time skipping. Also, you should add some music and sound effects in the game.

This was a neat game. The graphics were very nice, and the music was good, but I would have appreciated a second tune to break it up a bit (though I know there was only so much time!). It was a little frustrating to have to go back and forth so many times, but I can see a bit of zen to it. It might be nice to expand a little so there are some changes over time as you collect the gold and so much time passes!

It was really something to get a gold piece and then see "4 years later..."

I loved it! It was a complete experience, very well done!  And nice job on finishing this in the jam time!

I really like the art style in this. The Buddha statue is a banger!
