Excellent presentation. Wish I could control how much coin I dropped when I dropped the bag, it's too easy to make a level unfinishable. Neat puzzle though!

Nice graphics, good footstep sounds. Controls were a little weird and the actions felt a bit cumbersome, but the idea was pretty solid, I thought you did well with the Grow theme! Something about the way the bags were handled I didn't like, like the way that the placement was done and the Goblin felt a bit too heavy at times.

That being sad, the game was fun and there's a lot of room for expansion with the idea I think. Good job :)

I really love the concept of this and the art and sound effects are really good. As cool as it is to combine bags of gold I did it on accident and then I didn't have anything to bounce on when I got on the next platform but nonetheless this was a very fun game.

I like the glitch where you vomit 2 value bags ad infinitum.

Would crash again.

Great idea, art, and sound. I had the same problem as disdanes, as i collected the gold on the second level, went back to the first to collect the ones i dropped, then had nothing to get to the third platform :(

Wow this feels like a complete game and is a lot of fun. Would love to see this as a full game I feel you could do a lot of cool stuff with the mechanic.

I love the graphics and the bag dropping mechanic! Its too easy to get stuck though (for example if you drop the bag in front of level finish - you can't pick it up again)

Very good game, enjoyed it a lot. Jumping might be a bit unresponsive sometimes

Congrats on the game guys, it's a really original concept and a lot of fun to play. The idea of using the gold both to get through the next level and to jump higher is great! You can get stuck in some levels though, but it's the kind of thing to expect when coding with a strict deadline. Lots of potential here, keep up the work for a complete version!

Thanks for your review guys!! We are aware of the bag issues is an error of action priority... I think we can push another version very soon! Thanks for the feedback! Drury can you tell me how did you manage to make that glitch? So we can patch it :P

Nice looking and very fun puzzle game! With a bit more polish some hazards and more levels I think it could be a very solid platformer.

The camera was a bit annoying at times. For example if you move left while jumping upwards and then suddenly had to jump right, you can't see where you're walking and jumping since the character is still on the right side of the screen. The controls were also just slightly unresponsive at times, but this wasn't really a big issue. Other than that, very nice graphics and interesting gameplay!

Very nice art-style! Liked the using money for springs mechanic. Would be nice to be able not to put all the money you have in the bag, but I guess that is part of the puzzle. The game was not too difficult. Found one problem though: when you put a bag by the exit, you can't pick it up again, because it will only try and exit the level if you push the action button, but you couldn't exit the level because you don't have enough gold.

Really funny game, with nice graphics, the "drop the bag" mechanic works well.
+1 because you play a gobelin!
Nice entry

Very good game. It reminded me a little Styx: Master of Shadows. I just thought pretty confusing symbols of xbox control buttons to press when you are not using it.

nice game - would be better to have drop the coins split the value otherwise some levels become unable to finish - good work

Gamepad controls were bugging out, but that was probably my gamepad, would have been awesome to disable gamepad controls.
Liked the mechanic, but very easy to mess up, when you don't know what the level will look like.
