Use of the limitation
The limitation "Endless Greed", inspired me to create a gaming narrative where greediness leads to death while humility to victory.

Pretty Good. But the jump feels weird, but maybe that's just me. And I like the art and music.

Developer

Thanks for playing :)

The art is cute and the game is fun but it's a bit too hard imo. 

Developer

I appreciate your feedback. There is a patch coming up today that addresses this issue. Thanks for playing :)

The music is absent and the sound small; those are a third of the experience of the game:

The rest altho is a solid platformer with a cohesive art and animation.

I appreciate your feedback. Thanks for playing! I will add sound and music today.

Your game brilliantly captures the essence of old retro games, offering a very challenging experience where a single mistake means starting over, paying homage to the unforgiving nature of classic gaming.

While the absence of sound effects was noticeable, it didn't detract from the overall enjoyment. The simplistic, minimalistic design approach was appreciated, adding to the game's charm.

There was a minor hiccup, level 3 failed to load on the first try. A quick page refresh resolved the issue.
This small glitch aside, the game's execution was enjoyable.

Thank you for playing! I am glad you liked it :)

I love such minimalist games. I want to do the same now. Good job.

Fun lil game. Cute sprites and i actually don't mind the difficulty as it forces me to master the levels and punishes me if I'm too greedy lol

Developer(+1)

Yes! You got it! Thanks for playing. Glad you liked it. :)

I get that it  supposed to be retro difficulty, but it gets frustrating very fast

Developer

Thank you for the feedback :)

The sprite work was really nice. Level 2 was nearly impossible unless you waited for a while on level 1, which made it very difficult to play. Occasionally I would die before level 2 even loaded. I'd love to try it again after a patch!

Developer

Thank you for the feedback!

Fun game! Really love the sprites! Although I enjoyed the platforming having to restart the game on dead and being spawn killed on Level 2 brought down my enjoyment a bit. Would love to play more without the game restart on death :)

Developer

I appreciate the feedback! Thank you for playing :)
