A tutorial would've been nice, its well made but was a bit confusing on what to do, well done either way!

Same as the first comment. Also, all the sound comes from the left channel.

Your audio is amazing. I love how the SFX fit with the music. The coins are really satisfying and the camera shake is appropriately disorienting. I'd love to see more levels.

Pretty solid! I did find a bug which I exploited, holding space and moving upward causes you to shoot up the screen. The other thing is that I think the screen shake is too intense, I lost track of the character whenever that happened. Otherwise good entry!

I liked it !
I like the mood with your graphic palette and your music, there is a desolated / desert mood that is cool to experience. The game is pretty simple but enough to have fun :)
Like said, some information (like control and goals) cool have been a great addition (even if you put it in the description page above.)
And a shadow underneath the caracter would let us know if we were pushed sideway or launched in the air.
It could be cool to have other level :)

Well done anyway !

Wasn't sure what was happening at first but I loved all those coins coming out of the "chests".
I picked up all the big stashes of coins but then there doesn't seem to be much else to do. All the rocks that you can touch and destroy only give 1 coin so it's not that satisfying.
Would be nice if the map was bigger or if there was more levels so I could carry on picking up big bags of coins! :)

the sound is in mono and the game lacks some sort of special thing about it. on the other hand the graphics are good and the design overall is pretty nice too

Last second rating. Nice game. The music is a bit off, but beside that I like it.
