Loved the puzzles (especially the one where you put down a block and then shoot the guy through the tunnel). The music was fantastic. I wasn't crazy about the controls (kept pressing the wrong button). Also the aiming didn't seem to really serve a purpose. I thought compared with the rest of the puzzles, the \"boss\" where you have to deposit 20 coins was a little tedious but i may have just found an exploit.\n\nAmazing amount done in 48hrs!","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"rsim","author_uid":"1002392","time":"2019-04-30T05:25:13Z","epoch":1556601913,"modified":1556601913,"text":"Great game - I won!

The art is good, and the storyboard intro and ending is cool.  I find the aim and shoot mechanic is fine, though I probably would rebind the keys to my own taste.  Shift + X felt a bit clunky to me.  The moving platforms were also a bit tricky to jump off of when they were going down, but that's not too much of an issue given that the main mechanic is to use gold bars to gain extra height.\n\nI loved that you managed to work a boss battle in at the end.  I spent a good amount of time on the left side of the room shooting it before I realized I could walk through him.  It went a long way to making this feel like a complete experience.  It's nice when LD games manage to work in a beginning, middle and end to their games.\n\nGood stuff!
