The coin character is adorable. Really like the pacing. The enemies (I'm guessing they were bankers or rich people?) made me laugh :)

That was clever.
Your life is literally coinage.
The way enemies interact with you.
I loved the way you used the coins to interact with the world too.

Simple puzzle platformer but it works. I enjoyed playing quite a lot. I got stuck with the button and the switch. Great entry!

Love this game! The character designs are really charming and the puzzles are fun. The colour palette and feel of the controls could use a bit of work. Really enjoyed it :)

Amazing game! Great mechanic. Great cuteness. Great game-feel. Good puzzles.
Sadly, I got stuck on the big empty level with the spring/buttons.

I loved the feelz as we're forced to give up your coins.

@plexsoup Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed :D
Is that the one level with the springs and multiple gates?

@mrpiedpiper It was a big empty cavern? I needed to jump really high with springs.

@plexsoup Ah, that one. I need to fix up the springs later. Right now they give you more boost if you walk into them than if you bounce on them. Sorry if they got you stuck :\

I thought some of the puzzles were pretty cool. The coin throwing mechanic was pretty nice in the last and the second to last levels of the game.

The movement in the game is a bit floaty at times and sometimes I kind of wish there was an aiming arc or line to determine where the coin will land once I throw it. Other than that, I had fun with the game. Great job!

Ok. That makes sense. I tried emptying my coin stack then jumping on them, because I previously learned that I go higher when I'm lighter.

@shulololo Re-doing movement and an aiming arc would be great additions, and I'm glad you enjoyed. Thank you for trying out my game!

It was a fun game! Took me a minute to figure some of the levels out but overall loved it! A bit slow paced for me but nonetheless entertaining. :)

Hey great game ! I liked how you used the theme, and the characters coming for your money are hilarious (I didn't undestand they could kill you until the Thanks for playing level though x) )!
I got stuck at a point on my first run when I accidently dropped my coins but overall it was tons of fun.

@tomasmunro Thank you! :smile:

@inferture Thank you for playing it all the way through! Glad people are enjoying the graphics ^^ I should have mentioned this in the game, but if you get stuck you could either run into an enemy, or press "R" to respawn. I'll make that more clear next time :sweat_smile: (Or maybe I should add a level element that would allow you to re-collect that coin :thinking:)

@didigameboy Well said :wink: Thank you!

Really clever character design! I usually only see things like slimes that drop portions of themselves, but I loved the coinroll along with the greedy businessmen that want a piece of you lol. You also used that mechanic as a way to create a platform and jump off of them and I thought that was genius. Definitely one of the better themed puzzle platformers I've seen and you created a nice, gentle atmosphere in general with this one.

Nice little adventure!
Just would be nice if the music wouldnt always restart and would be nice if you could pick up your coins again, that would open new ways for puzzles.

overall cool game i enjoyed it!

@nico-fallosch Thanks for playing! Love that you enjoyed the game :D

Yeah, re-working the music would definitely help out. And again, I should have made this next point more clear in-game. I would have loved to have more of those instructional graphics like I have for the jump height. You can pick up dropped coins by either respawning, or standing at one and pressing right-click.

Hey I really loved many parts of your game! Things I really thought were good the pixel art, the music, and the innovative idea that the main character is a coin roll and uses coins from his head! I thought that was really clever. I also really really really love that you used Godot! Well done!

Super cute game, I love the mechanics, the look and the implementation of the theme. I think personally, the movement is a bit on the slow side, so getting wrong a jump or a spring boost can be super punishing because you fall and walk so slowly. The coin shot and the springs are finicky, so I would like them to be a bit more consistent.
But the pixel art and specially the main character is super adorable, and I loved that the enemies are just greedy suits. The puzzles were very good, and it's all nice and polished (specially since it's your first week with the engine!)

@jesusache Snappier movement would probably make a whole world of difference. Thanks!

Yeah, the Springs were something I didn't think to fix until it was too late. I'm not entirely sure what's wrong with them, but I think you get more boost atm if you walk into them from the side? Weird stuff. I'll get on that!

Thanks for all of the kind words and feedback. really appreciate it! :D

Wow, I really like this one. The concept is very interesting. You did a stellar job with gradually introducing new concepts to the player. Additionally it fits the theme very perfectly. Well done!

A few things which appeared to me:

* Movement is a tad too slow and feels like on the moon. On the other hand it feels very relaxing.
* I would always shoot exactly in the direction of the mouse pointer. I sometimes wanted to shoot in an angle and accidentally shot upwards.
* Sometimes coins can be stuck in places where you cannot pick them up anymore. Maybe make them come back somehow? It's annoying to restart a level because of a missed shot.
* The last level is hard, maybe a bit too hard. But I'm glad I could make it without hints!

But overall a great experience you can be proud of!

@zubspace Thank you!

* I think I stopped working on Movement a bit too quick, so it feels... very floaty. A refined movement system would definitely help.
* Hm. I originally had the shoot system controlled by the player's movement keys, and changed it to the mouse last minute (Which is silly because I was intuitively pointing the mouse where I was shooting anyway the whole time) so the shooting system was very "directional", and I didn't even consider changing it. I'll give that a shot! (Edit: Ha. Give the shooting system a shot. Oops.)
* That's a good point. Maybe some kind of money-themed way to grab it from a distance grappling hook style?
* Yeah, I might have gone a bit too much with that one. I kind of wanted a "Use everything you've learned" kind of level, and might have gone overboard. Oops :P

Thanks for playing, and for the great feedback! Much appreciated :D

I liked the concept of a coin stack having to take coins from himself. The sprites were charming.

The character's handling could have been a little tighter (it was kind of sluggish and floaty). But some nice puzzles and innovative idea!
