Welcome to

2nd Goblin and Coins Summer marathon! (ended!)


A little bit of history for newcomers

Hello! I've created a little retro platformer game and with the help of friendly SG community managed to polish it and release it on Steam back in late 2016. Since then, I've held a few of these "marathon" events in order for all of us to have fun and at the same time to give back to SG members who supported the game by giving them the chance to win some nice prizes.

You can check out spring (3 participants, won DE: Mankind Devided, Dishonored 2 and DOOM), summer (7 participants won Quantum Break, Dark Souls III, Rise of Tomb Raider , TWD: A New Frontier and many other nice games), Back2School (17 participants, won Dishonored 2, CoD: Advanced Warfare, Cuphead, Life is Strange: Before the Storm and so on), Winter (11 participants; won Slime Rancher, beat Cop, Finding paradize...) and 2nd Spring marathon (110+ participants, won Mortal Kombat X, DEMD, CoD Ghosts...) events if you want more info, to read previous hints, tips, and so on.


Introduction

It's hot and there's a world cup playing right now so let's keep it simple. There's going to be several tasks and one train. Do ANY of the tasks and you'll get invited on board.


Gifts in the train

Train entry point Giveaways
FFA / Public Homefront, Outlast, Ghost Pirates of Vooju Island, Shadows: Price for our sins, Space legends, Living legends: The Froyen Fear, Defend the Highlands Civ III Sacra Terra AI War 3030 Death war redux.
Solve a jigidi Acceleration of SUGURI 2, Dark Souls III (JP), Splasher (CN, CIS).
Do 1 or more out of 3 tasks Yakuza 0 preorder, Just Cause 3 XL, Dirt Rally, RAGE, COD Ghosts, Prey (Bethesda), Cook Serve Delicious 2

Requirements

  • In order to participate you have to be a nice and well behaved member of SteamGifts community.
  • You need a free Steam account which you already have otherwise you wouldn't be a member of the community here.
  • And you need to have the game called Goblin and Coins in order to be able to perform certain tasks required in order to be invited to some of the giveaways.

Tips

  • Play on casual, it's easier.
  • Use a quality keyboard or a wired gamepad. Some netbook keyboards will ruin your experience, sadly.
  • You can rebind the keys in settings menu.
  • Feel free to read community guides on Steam.
  • If you get discouraged, feel free to watch other players and see how they dealt with something.
  • Ask, and someone might answer. There are tips&tricks for all the enemies and bosses, just need to find them.
  • If you already have an achievement that's needed - even better!
  • Check the comments, there might be hidden freebie giveaways.
  • Have fun and laugh. That's the point to have fun together :)

Rules

  • In order to be invited you have to provide what is asked and in the exact way that was explained in task description. This usually means links to your achievements page and artwork/video.
  • Don't cheat. I'll check all applications. Don't leak the giveaway links, you'll be suspended.
  • All submissions must be posted into this thread by the end of July 20th, 2018, CEST (GMT+2). I might start inviting people early or not.

This looks like a fun little game. Not buying it right not, but wishlisted for reference. :)

Also, bump.

Uhm, excuse me, don't wanna be a party pooper, but I wonder, how does "Buy my game to participate" abide to the following guidelines?

When posting links or content, that content should not force users, encourage users through reward, or primarily exist as a traffic source for users to perform an action for promotional, commercial, or monetary benefit. Such actions include but are not limited to clicking a referral link, liking a Facebook page, following a Twitter account, joining a Steam group, completing a survey, or making a donation.

.

Do not ask users for payments or donations for any reason. Fees to gain access to gifting groups, or attempts to raise money for lotteries or giveaways is not allowed.

to give back to SG members who supported the game by giving them the chance to win some nice prizes

It's not "buy the game to participate", it's "you already played the game and gave feedback and now here's something small..."

Btw, if you think a lot of people buy the game during these events just to participate, you're wrong. If someone does, it's mostly people who already had it wishlisted from before or people who didn't know about it but like the genre/niche anyway. If you look back, it's the same people who participate 99% of the time. That said, I'm not asking for donations nor requiring anyone to join any group, like anything or whatever. Trust me when I say I'm spending far more money on these events than they'd ever could bring in income from random "I shall buy this just so I can enter the train for fans of the game" people.

Also, just so it's clear, every single one of these events has giveaway marked as FREEBIES where anyone can enter without even having the game. You can't see any right now because of a simple reason - I didn't create any giveaways yet for the train or freebies or bonuses... but will do so on 21st or 22nd (when I can set train to end in a month, you know how creating giveaways works).

I shall buy this just so I can not enter the train for fans of the game. Is that allowed by the rules? :P

I was confused then I realized what you mean. I honestly don't remember you, so you get to leave the blacklist this time. Use it wisely if you will.

Well same to you, I'm quite sure alcohol was involved in the case. But not noticing it before I actually meant it as "I can" "not enter", not "I cannot" "enter". So I bought the game just because this looks like a fun idea but have no interest in the train. :)

Will have to think about whether I want to submit a drawing for the first task, but this should be good for the second and third tasks.

I'm kinda getting really tired of this Nikola guy, being all generous and stuff while promoting his game. So I have devised this evil masterplan: I will purchase his game, because that way I'll make the Steam stocks run dry and no one can every buy his game again. MWAHAHAHA

But seriously, thanks.

Thanks for letting me know about this event!
My achievements are here & I have made a gameplay video in the past.

I might have a go with task #1 at some point since I've already earned the achievement for it. My art skills aren't amazing or anything though. :P
