I think this game was nice.
I specifically liked the graphics, gave me the Gameboy feeling.
Here are a few suggestions if you plan on updating the game after the jam :
- This type of enemies were very annoying, their pattern is too simple, you just have to escape. I think you should add a way of dealing with them (the B key isn't used in the game), and also add others hazards : a moving one (like a spiky ball back-and-forth on his axis).
- A more varied music would give more ambience.
- Mabye adding some special powerups instead of gold would make the game even more fun.
- The minigame can be easily done just by spamming the button, without timing, 95% of the time it was faster than playing normally. I think you can mabye add a cooldown after a press, or even just a limited amount of tries.
Anyway, good luck ! That was fun.
