CONTROLS

-W D to Move left and right.

-Space to jump.

-E to use Vents and Chests

-Q to drop gems.

-Escape to quit.

-Shift to restart when you die.

-It has basic controller support too.

HINT

You can only carry so much, throw gems down to lighten your load. (They don't disappear).

ABOUT

The more gems you carry the lower your jump height and slower you move. That's our interpretation of "The more you have, the worse it gets". Get a bunch of gems to the start zone and complete the game!

Hi there,

great game, I really enjoyed playing it. The graphics are nice and the music adds to the mood. The gamplay is intuitive. I had some minor issues with jumping (I think at some point it was not detected that I had already reached the ground again) and could not jump again.

Very nice game. Filling the belly looks and feels very good. I liked the art and mechanics.

P.S.
You should rate other games to take your place. I think you have a good chance.
You can replace the headers using markdown. For example "[ABOUT]" to "## About"

Great idea with the gems limiting your jump, but could have possibly gone even further and make it more punishing. Or earlier, I usually just lost some gems to spikes or to the enemies before actually getting any effect to my movement. Sounds are very fitting to the visual style. I’m not sure about font you chose, non-pixelated font really sticks out in a bad way. Otherwise graphics are really well done.

The game is nice, but could've tweaked the jumping more to make it smoother. Also, controls should be in game to be easily accessible without needing to open itch to read the controls
P.S. I liked how he become fatter after each loot

Loved the game! Innovative mechanics and tight controls made for a fun experience. The spike collision could be a bit buggy at times though.

Really fun game!

The good:
* Graphics
* Effect of collecting gems remindes my of the old Spyro Games
* Character design
* There is a ending

The bad:
* Music not looped
* Gems can stuck in wall. Unable to collect them
* If you get hit by spikes I managed to jump extremly high...
* There is no hint that you need 1000$ to get to the ending
