Every adventurer-to-be dreams of bringing home a huge bounty of gold and rare artifacts, emptying out their bounty from their seemingly bottomless pouch onto their table.
But let's face it -- gold is heavy! And when you have a lot of it, you may find that you're not quite as light on your feet as you were when your adventure began. Of course, the creatures lingering in the dungeon are always looking for the slower targets...
---------
The idea of this game was to put a new spin on the trope of the adventurer inexplicably able to carry around hundreds of pounds worth of heavy metal unhindered. In this game, as you collect gold your player's speed gradually slows down, making evading enemies much more difficult.
Unfortunately I wasn't quite able to finish everything I wanted to, but I'm happy with what I've got so far.
(Just pretend the walls are solid, okay? ...And don't worry about the fact that enemies are seemingly unable to kill you. You're just that good.)
Occasionally a red portal will open up somewhere on the map. This is where enemies spawn. There are also blue portals. When you stand near these, your coins are sucked up and stored safely for later use. (And by later use I mean there is no store so your coins are as good as gone).
CONTROLS:
WASD/Arrow Keys: Move
Space: Attack
Alt: Drop Coins
