Ecstasy of Gold by thiagofr
Background
Avoid the guards and get all the coins! But be careful, the guards are equipped with powerful magnets that will attract you as you gather more coins!
How to play
Control you character with ASWD and move the camera with the mouse. You can stomp in the guards' heads to stop them for a while. When you get all the coins, the exit will open!
Comment
Personally, I'm very proud of this game. I've learned a lot making it. My challenges were to learn how to make animations in Blender and make a "complete" game, with Start screens, Instructions and at least two stages. I've completed all of them. I hope you all play and have a little fun with it! Cheers!
Note
The original submission is the Windows version, but many people were just checking the page and not downloading it, so I created a WebGl build. Unfortunately, it has a slightly worse graphics quality, so it can run smoothly in a browser.

Thanks!
- Character is a little bit slow.
- I didn't see that the guards attract me more if I have more money.
- I think that if you go out and between the guard and you there is some distance, the guard maybe stop chasing you.
Overall, good game for de LD! Nice job!
I want to tell about some issues, but all comments already have this information. So, I only hope that you will fix this and create more levels. Good job!
I can only add that the music was a bit obsessive for my own.
Your models were cute. Did you learn Blender animation during the 48 hours of the Ludum Dare? That's pretty amazing. With a few more levels this could make for a sweet game. Really sweet LD entry. Congrats!
Caramba cara impressionante fazer esse jogo sozinho, mt bom, sempre bom o pessoal BR mandando bem =p
In portuguese: Obrigado cara! Pessoalmente, estou orgulhoso dele, embora tenha algumas coisas que gostaria de ter feito mas não consegui. =)
E é sempre bom achar mais pessoas do BR aqui! Abraços!
Did you play the webgl version? In that version unfortunately the camera is a little janky indeed. For a better experience, I would advise you to play the windows version.
The player's speed will be fixed soon. Thanks for playing!
If you are talking about the slow speed of the character, it has nothing to do with the magnets! xD
But if you get close to the guards, you'll see that as you gather more coins you'll really move towards them. This effect is more noticeable in the end of the second phase! Thanks for your feedback.
I died twice on that first jump before making it by the way - with the slow speed it was a bit hard to make.
Music loop could have been longer, the loop was frustratingly short.
Second level - character was floating about the height of this foot off of the ground.
Graphics were good for a compo.
Would have been nice for it to be clear that you had to get to the pad at the end after getting all the coins. After dying to the first jump time after time, I tried getting the stuff across the jump first. and found out that there was an exit pad that had to be reached.
