Scatter Gold by Sthealthinator
You must go deeper and deeper, far beneath the earth's surface.. in order to excavate the scattered gold.





It's not just a straight up platformer, it's a puzzle game as well, try moving the boxes if you're stuck :) Also, left clicking restarts the level

Quite difficult for me though, so I liked when cannons didn't fire off screen :D
The graphics are nice, there seems to be something of a stereoscopic vision going on, which gives it a distinctive touch.
I liked the usage of the boxes, they seemed to move very fluently, but it still proved too hard for me haha
:x: Dying over and over again always with the same track made me very tired of it very fast :slight_frown:.
Neat little game though :)
The only thing slightly annoying is not restarting immediately the level after dying, but seeing again and again the xxx meters under the sea level (it is a cool feature, but I die too many times 😅
I do not know if it is only me, but arrow up for jump does not work (I mention it because left and right arrows do work, no problems using wasd).
Great work!!
:sweat_smile:
Again, it looks like it's just me and my apparent lack of jumping ability, but I was hoping to be able to play further into what looks like a fun little game.
The graphics are very nice, the chromatic aberration effect is a bit strong.
I am not very good with this kind of platformer, the hitbox of spike is a bit sensible. I understand the idea of the grind. Not my taste but I think that is the attraction of this kind of game.
Very great entry all across the board!

Small bug I found: clicking around the middle of the screen restarts the level.
Small suggestion: I don't think it's necessary to show the "You are x meters below sea level" every time you restart the level. It just slows down the game.
Keep up the good work!
Cool entry dude!
Really challenging level design. This game does an amazing amount with just a few simple elements. The parts work together to create innumerable unique challenges.
Thank you so much for bringing this by my stream. Here's a link to the VOD:

Levels are designed by a sadist
.. fantastic job :)
(this feedback is all from trying the game again offstream -- good suggestion, it completely fixed my jumping issues!)

edit: oh! I also liked the font; especially the "i" because it was so strange :)
Man, you really burned me with some of those level design choices :smile:
I had a lot of fun with this one though! I have a soft-spot for difficult platformers, and this one scratched that itch perfectly.
Its an interesting game to play, though last levels were a bit frustrating. I had to replay them a lot of times. Anyway, I have managed to complete the game! I want to point out that character control is really nice and smooth.
Cool small game, it would be nice to have it less complicated :)
Unfortunately you weren't present on the stream. Maybe you would want to check out the recording:
