Graphics for the intro and the character were great. Could definitely be expanded into a full game as the concept and gameplay were great.

As others have said, the core mechanic of having to take damage to gain coins is very clever. Especially once the large diamond blocks arrive, which are instant death if you haven't upgraded your max health yet, preventing people from just skipping gaining money. I also really appreciate the opening cinematic & the little character graphic at the top left, gave the game a lot of personality. It did feel like gaining new cards was a bit underwhelming, as most of them except the doubling one for health or two steps down one felt pretty useless, but otherwise, great entry!","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":1145635,"author_name":"LDJam user 409037","author_uid":"409037","epoch":1744379863,"text":"That's a great result in 48 hours, you did well)\nThe only thing is that there is a lack of some kind of global goal and a sense to accumulate gold)","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":1145652,"author_name":"LDJam user 413537","author_uid":"413537","epoch":1744380286,"text":"Loved the pixel art style, gave the game a charming and nostalgic feel \ud83d\ude0a\u200b I'll say as an artist, the character stylizations are great!","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":1145847,"author_name":"Sevatoxin","author_uid":"sevatoxin","epoch":1744388717,"text":"Super cool and fun game, would have loved to have somem more levels to play.
