The main menu music was quite painful to listen to, but the actual game music was incredible, and fitted the mood perfectly! The coin shooting mechanic doesn't feel very useful however, and consequently, I didn't find myself sacrificing many coins. Consequently, in my mind, this strayed away from the theme, but the actual gameplay is great! I initially didn't understand that I had to beat all enemies THEN left click chests to open them, and assumed that they were broken. Could perhaps have some sort of feeback (a flashing glow, text or a sound) to indicate this. Also, after just a few rooms it became obvious that rooms were repeating; there could have been some more variation in the rooms to mix it up.\n\nOverall though, this is a great game, severely under-appreciated! If you want to boost the number of viewers, you could try adding a WebGL version (if possible), as this makes your game far more accessible.

I enjoyed the gameplay a lot. Main character's flailing legs made me giggle. I did find that enemies would rush me right at the door and I didn't really need a ranged weapon, but I do like the idea of having to sacrifice your health to gain an advantage. One note: You have a button for full screen, but then no way to exit the game once you do so. Even just a key to exit full screen would be helpful.","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Wizard.Exe","author_uid":"1034254","time":"2018-12-07T00:44:13Z","epoch":1544143453,"modified":1544143453,"text":"I enjoyed wandering around, defeating enemies, and collecting coins.  But there seemed to be no choices to make, each room was just the next random encounter with a chest afterward.  I liked flinging the coins but it wasn't worthwhile to do it much since you wouldn't get enough to replace them.
