Getting Over Gold Hoarding by leetleaf

[raw]
made by leetleaf for LD 42 (JAM)

De-clutter your dragon lair that's become overflowing with gold!!! Buy Chests from the shopkeeper. Use chests to collect gold. When the chest is full, deposit it in the middle of the room.

Depositing Chests give you respect points so you can purchase more from the shop. Get some help from the village folks who will collect gold for you, but make sure they have a chest otherwise they'll be angry.

Keep the shopkeeper safe. If too much gold surrounds him, he'll drown.

Controls:

WASD: Move around

Left Click: pick up chest/purchase item

Double Right Click: shoot fireball

Mouse: aim fireball

E: Open shop menu (Must be near the Shopkeeper)

Game also has Leader Board

Tools:

Unity(GameEngine)

Asepirte(Art)

PlayFab(Leader Board)

~~I'm not going to rate the game for now because I simply didn't get what I was supposed to do... and then suddenly I died. A tutorial or at least instructions would help if you can add them !~~

Strike that, I'm dumb. See comment further below.

This game was great! I could see myself playing this for a long time trying to get a highscore! The graphics are also great. One thing is that when lots of coins are on screen, it starts to lag and the fireballs stop working.
Anyway, great game!

@eclahn The instructions are in the Ludum Dare description. Is there something unclear in the description?

@leetleaf WELL I'll blame the fact that rating games at 5AM isn't exactly optimal.
So, the gameplay is actually pretty smart. I didn't exactly understand when the countdown appeared over the shopkeeper or how I kept disarming it, I think by touching him ? But I still get the idea and I like it. The pace quickly picks up and it feels nice.

@eclahn No worries haha, we're all tired. I did forget to write in the description about protecting the shopkeeper. If too much gold surrounds him, he will drown. (I've updated the description)

Very nicely made game, I glitched outside of the wall during my playthrough but I noticed that unity colliders do that a lot when theres too much shit on the screen/colliding with your character.

Fun and original game, I enjoyed playing it! I think the red/blue background is too contrasty though, I get a chromostereopsis effect :-) The sounds are also a little harsh. After about 10 minutes the frame rate slows down. Nevertheless a great entry!

EPIC! I don't think there's anything better than picking up a bunch of coins... that 'ding ding ding ding ding..... ding ding ding' is a drug! Well done! Only thing I'd want fixed is the slowdown with a full screen of coins, I'd still be playing if my computer could handle it (Firefox browser on windows 10)

Nice idea. Before the theme been chosen, i thought about doing something with dragons, but then change my mind... u had a great idea... dragons really like treasures, sometimes they like it too much! kkkk

Very satisfying to scarf up gold. I just wish chest pickup were automatic on collision.

I forgot to login but

I was confused at the start on how to play, but afterwards I totally got it, very fun idea! Getting all the gold, and being a cool dragon was fun!

Really fun concept, nice art and sfx. Wouldn't mind some music and some collection variety or some other sort of progression options, I guess. Otherwise, what's there is pretty darn solid.

Best of luck, and hope you had a great LD!

Fun little game. I would have liked a musical score to help improve the mood. Good work!

It took me a while to understand how to play but then it was quite fun! This repeating coin sound is so delightful ^^ It became very laggy at the end and graphics could be much better. But otherwise, good job :)

I had no idea at first what I was supposed to do when the slime (green squares) started coming from the pipes :D. Then I figured out it was gold that was mentioned in the description coming from the pipes and felt so stupid :D. Fun game after that point! Maybe the gold should have been shaped and colored differently to make more readable.

@sambi Both me and my brother are colorblind which would explain why the gold is green lmao. I did the art and my colorblindness is a bit worse, but I'm not super good artist either. Anyways, I'm glad you enjoyed the game and I think it would be funny if the dragon was trying to get slime out of the lair because that makes way more sense than gold haha

9100! I feel like this is a decent score. Very cool concept, and fun and engaging to play. Not to mention the whole setup is just the right kind of ridiculous. I love the confused shopkeeper just constantly getting in trouble, aimlessly wandering into the gold.
