Congratulations on your submission, it is a nice game and the audio is great! I got stuck a lot in those black pits (I seem incapable of timing my dash properly) and I did run into an invisible enemy(?) in the 4th room, not sure if it was intended like this.

Nice illustrations, but the Ludum Dare link on the itch page is not the good one :)

Amazing graphics. I think the control of the character can use some more work, particularly it seems that the character is walking over ice. The game is also really hard. I died lots of times. :) Keep up the good work!

Awesome art! I love the enemies. The AI could perhaps use some work, but I understand it's hard to tweak it in the little time you had. The sound effects are great and the music is cool, there's just a small bug when you die, the game music overlaps with the death music. Otherwise, good work!

I like the idea that you have to throw your money and treasure at the enemies to kill them.

Good job!

Very nice and solid entry, there's quite a lot of content for a LD Jam game! Theme fits well and controls are spot on. Visually it's very pleasing, although I'd suggest adding some basic shadow beneath the characters, so that they would integrate a bit better on the backgrounds. Would love to see a complete version of this. Congratulations!

Quite good entry. The music are overlaps and the graphics are bit clingy. But the gameplay is fine. Good luck :)

@MaximeBou It is simply confusing and often strangely blocking...

Oh I'know that pain. I had the same bug ;)

That moment when your character's so fat he causes earthquake by falling into a pit!

It was an interesting setting for a game. I totally felt the thrilling danger of the pyramid.

There was much to desire though. I think the beginning of the game was really punishing (instant dead on first pits) while the rest of the content after you stack up some diamond is kind of a breeze, so it felt like the reverse of the theme (the more diamond you have, the easier the game become). The character control is a bit... unfamiliar, probably because of the force control the character kind of "slide" around like on ice, and it was a bit frustrating.

On the other hand, I loved the part where you have to run through a maze with spike underneath, it was truly thrilling and breathtaking totally felt like what pyramid exploring should feel like. The "Oh sh-" moment when I realize I chose the wrong path was really funny.
