Play as an old man with only ONE spear and kill all that aim to steal El Dorado's holy riches!
CONTROLS: Arrow keys to move Z to jump or walljump X to throw your spear F4 to go fullscreen
Try to protect as much of your treasure before you die! And post your hi-scores in the comments! Let's see who's the real protector of El Dorado!
Have fun!
*UPDATE* Fixed a fatal bug when you hit an enemy while dead. Fixed bug of depleting money on deathscreen. Changed the name to "Protecto El Dorado", because that extra o adds all the coolness ever.
Really nice animations, graphics and game feel. The way things move around (spear, money, player) feels really responsive and "right". Really nice job!
This is a nice arcade style game. Good sound effects and cool graphical style. Having the one weapon and needing to grab it again after using was a good use of the theme. Very good.

What a fun game! The graphics are great. Great job!
Sanguine: Yeah, I miss the music a lot xD Especially on the title screen, but I didn't have time to make any anymore, plus don't have a lot of experience with making music for games. Will do with the next LD for sure though!
Controls felt wonky as you need to wall jump to get up, the game window was too small to make much of what you were doing, it got confusing (maybe double the zoom level for better visibility?) The game did not really keep to the theme though.
Riilu: You can go fullscreen by pressing F4. The walljump takes some practise, but if I made the jump higher, you'd keep bumping into the ceiling and that would be even more annoying!
Also, I think I kept to the theme pretty well as you only get one spear, so you need to get it back every time you throw it.
Too bad you didn't like the controls man. Hope you still kind of liked it though! :P
I actually had a lot of fun with this! I love the little character sprites, especially the old man. An innovative take on the whole "You only get one shot" that a lot of people seemed to do.
The physics for the spear were great too. I enjoyed wall-jumping, then pitching my spear across the map to pin some dude. Very satisfying!
Perhaps my one complaint would be that it's a bit to hard to get to the other side of the map from the top screen. You can't just jump over the middle divide, and you have to wall-jump to the other platform in order to jump over the center piece. It's a bit time consuming and bothersome, but otherwise it didn't detract too much from the experience.
simple but beautiful pixel-art. Really love the gameplay. Maybe the stage is small and the main character need jump a little more. It's hard dodge the shield-guys.
Eye-popping (quite literally). Must say that while it's simple it still feels very good to play.

Quite fun in a Super Crate Box-y way. The physics feel right for the most part, which is the most important aspect in these games. Dislike those obvious bfxr sound effects though.
Nice graphics, nice mechanics. I like the fast pace! It feels good to play, except maybe for the slightly odd wall jumps (I'm used to Super Meat Boy allowing direction changes in mid-air).

Thanks again for all the lovely comments and feedback, see you all at the next Ludum Dare! :D
