For The Hoard! is a game about a loot goblin that is addicted to collecting loot. The Gobbo King demands endless loot, and you, the tireless loot goblin, will gladly oblige. Frantically run around in this online multiplayer game with your friends to smash pots, bust open treasure chests, and collect as much valuable loot as you can.

Fun for a bit, cool pixel graphics the gameplay could do with a little less repetition but otherwise I enjoyed it as a game, a few different areas and challenges. I collected 500k+ gold

Could do with more player feedback when you finish a quest/stage. Nice art though.

That was just an excellent play. Godot 4.5 and a tile map with some great graphics and you made it happen. Good job brother!

Love the art and the jumping part of the gameplay. This is a complete idea, well-executed an on-theme - everything you look for in a jam.

Lovely pixel art and adorable characters. The soundtrack creates a great atmosphere. The gameplay gets a bit repetitive, but it’s still fun to play.

Interesting game idea, sadly it glitched out on my whenever I was opening chests. Also was cool to see the multiplayer aspect.

For the hoard! ... it made me collect a lot after i got the hung of it. Great base game, now some small additions and its a fully fledged full game. Nice!

A relaxing, enjoyable game, even a little sleepy :)

But that's more of a plus.

Very chill game, love the music and the fact you have multiplayer is a nice touch. Those saw blades are no joke!

I found this to be any enjoyable chill game. Nice music --> I guess not yours because no rating for it.
Online passive multiplayer web game.. interesting. I'll have to look-up how to do that in godot. I would like to add that to my game... I was wanting to add a leader board using Talo but didn't get to that.

I wanted to see if there was a hard cap on jump distance/speed. Seems like there is since I never truly achieved proper flight.

Nice mood and pixel graphics! Good platforming and evasion challenges. My character wouldn't move after opening chests, so I had to satisfy the king by not touching any chests.

I was very interested to try the multiplayer content but got nobody to play at the same moment with me.

Good job!

This is solid and super fun! I love that the money earned and your jumping ramps up with your current money, too; it made it feel like an incremental game!​

Really cool game, simple but effective, i love it! Also, the graphics and dialogue are pretty funny but still convincing, and the level design is pretty cool. As I said: Simple, but effective. And overall really cool, I can see myself as that little goblin guy ^^
