This game is about a little goblin who have to ascend a dungeon to gain more gold as possible ! But be prepared, there's some trap on your way and you must manage your weight cause gold is heavy :p

Please give us your feedback ! :) See ya !

It is hard as hell and the program sometimes freezes on my pc. But overall it is a great game ;). Also that one music track is pretty cool.

Extremely hard but pretty satisfying when you make past a spot you got stuck on earlier! The music really sets the mood!

Yes! Gold is heavy! I felt that there was no need for me to hold any gold at all, so I avoided it and dropped it whenever I picked some up.

Otherwise a solid platformer with solid music and art.

I love the idea, and the difficulty level on point (Just like DARK SOULS) :D

An interestingly difficult game! The premise is simple, yet quite effective, and the tutorial got the message across nicely. A tad buggy sometimes; spikes would launch me upwards into walls and get me stuck, and the game just flat out crashed at one point. A bit hard to see the platforms and spikes, since they blend in with the grey background so easily... Other than that, a fun little game~

That was punishingly difficult. A little extra work on the jump controls would have made it a lot nicer to play, especially since some of those jumps are pretty much pixel perfect.
That said, other that the controls, it was a solid game. I liked the audio in particular. Nice work.

Nice work in this first jam!
I really enjoy the game concept, I think the theme fits really great! Are you a greedy goblin or a care-for-his-life goblin?
Maybe it needs a little polish on animations and ingame generals like ui, but hey, this is a jam so, nice job!

Good job!
- I like the concept.
- I think that if the movement were smoother it would feel better to control.
- The art and sound are nice.

On level 3, I took a picture of the hard part:

Getting past that crossbow on the right is tough. I got past it one time, but died a little further up.
