Why is there only coins? I want to collect gold ingot, gems, cash, gift cards, smartphones, tablet PCs and many more ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Bump

You sir, are awesome. Sure beats the hell out of a math puzzle that I have to Google the answers for, if I can even decipher enough of it to do that (I'm bad at math).

Bump!

Small update:

I've replaced "quit to menu" with "save and quit" for casual players (hardcore still have to play in one session) with ability to continue from the main menu from where you quit last time (hc players will see this option grayed out).

Demo files have been updated accordingly and are compatible with your last session, so you'll be able to load the place where you pressed esc the last time.

some small hints that you'll not find in the readme:

• xbox gamepad should work fine so if you have it, try using it
  • you can use ctrl to skip story screens if you play for nth time

bump for indie guy

bump

looks pretty fun :)

OK, I played a little, stopped somewhere in the second world. I love platformers, I had to try this. For now - it's good, but not great.

Good:
-I really like the graphics, especially the animations. Smooth pixel art. As smooth as it can be :)
-Music/sounds are nice too.
-Controls - It's not about the buttons, just general feeling. My char does what I want him to do. It's really precise. Whatever: perfect. Some may say it's too fast - I think it's really PERFECT.

Bad (you probably know all of that, but still - you want opinions!):
-That axe throwers - not in general, but in some places. Like when you use a jump pad and get hit the same second you land on the platform high above, in result - falling down. No way to dodge.
-It needs an invincibility frame. It's not that hard to get trapped with no way to escape. One bad jump on a buzzsaw and you may not get a chance to run away. Or spikes - 3 lives means nothing when you can't save yourself. If you want them to be that way - set them to deal 3 damage, for example.
-Sometimes I got under the jump pads, causing an animation loop. You can just jump and it's all fixed, but it's a bug. Not sure when pad doesn't trigger right and why.

Overall: I hope to see the final version on Steam someday if you change it a little. I won't wait for bundles to get it ;)

Another small update

• When you hit lava/spikes you get teleported back to where you jumped from
• axe throwers axes are not homing anymore but have predictable speed and arc
• background music volume raised from 15 to 25% (settings not implemented yet)

Please note: Loading a save from previous version may end up bugging the game later. Try a new session if you're checking the differences between an old and new demo, and not playing for the first time.

oh, yeah, another gib: https://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/wfWyi/tis-100

After 24 hrs of rigorous testing by a dedicated team of 5 people, all the known bugs are gone. Worlds 1 and 2 are finally done from a gameplay perspective (thus fast overnight updates that were being released faster than people were able to download them). There are still some opposite opinions about couple of game design decisions, but I'm happy with what I have for now.

Finally I feel that I'm ready to start working on world 3 (Swamp), which includes drawing new tiles, coming up with new mechanics (traps and environment) and also, creating modified and brand new enemies.

Build 0.0.2.12 has been dubbed "stable" and will stay available for downloads alongside the newer builds (which will be marked as 0.0.3.x and contain new levels for the world 3 for early testing).

For those who want to take a look behind the magical veil of gamedev (or in my case, goblining), I've made a video showing how a platform is made from concept art through sprite drawing all the way to working object in game (in a mockup level that's not gonna be in game):

Bump for visibility xD

Video introducing a new enemy for the world#3 Gassy Swamp: https://youtu.be/ebMxkvI87M0

A new blog post about the enemies you can encounter in the game. It's very short and there's a video so you don't even have to read ;)
http://blog.goblinsandcoins.com/2016/08/archetype-walkers.html

What's new with the game?

I've created 3+1 enemies and 1 new trap (lava/spikes kind) for the third world. Also I've made doorways for it and done a lot of new and evolved tiles, enough to start with level design very soon. These new levels won't be available in the demo version, sorry.

[Minor] Build 0.0.3.2b

• Added slight delay (1/3 of a second) to story screens because with certain gamepads you could have skipped them altogether on accident - please check now and report if it works as it should (hold space rushes text, press space goes to next screen, ctrl skips altogether; should work similar on gp)
• Fixed a typo (don't ask)
• Added a required delay of 2 seconds to ax throwers so there should be no way for them to throw 2 axes in a row now without at least 2 seconds inbetween
• Improved the looks of a bean soup kettle by adding embers underneath, better shading, a heart marking on the side and animated heart/bubbles on top
• Added more bean soup kettles to world 2 and world 3 levels.

• Changed coin placement in 2-6 to better lead the player through some challenging jumps
