This game was super! Game physics made me laugh the whole playtime, especially when the gold armor came in :D Humor, music, mechanics and the title were fantastic! Please make more levels (and take my money I will play your game)!

:joy: Overall idea is interesting, but you get super easy stuck because of the glued gold to you and is hard to avoid collecting it :D

Generally a good concept. Finding ways to get rid of attached coins/objects by jumping against edges and so on was fun. Though, I feel like the negative effect could have been stronger. Often I felt like having a lot of coins actually makes it easier to get up to certain places because the coins somehow made my character climb up edges.

Your game Farrison Hoard & The Cave of Coins is a really cool idea and really puts the theme of "The more you have, the worse it is", into a really cool game. I enjoyed the game a lot and the idea of having to strategically get rid of coins is a really cool concept;

Pros:
-The overall idea
- I really enjoyed the music

Cons:
- Having a starting menu would be great because it just puts you straight into the game and is annoying
- Maybe a tutorial because I took me a while to understand what is happening
- I really didn't enjoy the mechanics, it seemed to have too much momentum to the player and he seemed to be really hard to control
- Also, the animation seemed a bit off as it was going to fast for the speed he was going

Overall this was a really nice game and you should be proud of what you achieved. :)

Great game!

It's possible to achieve sustained flight by putting treasure under your feet, but I consider that a feature.

Nice game, fits the theme very well! I think this concept has potential!

Great way to drive the point about the theme home, but I won by just holding down right and jumping when I got stuck. I wish you had spent more time on pixel art and textures, or even given the 3D objects pixel art textures, because it looks okay-ish now, but could be so easily improved. Overall, a nice game though.

Physics platformers are always a plus, especially when humor is slapped onto it (with physics, that's hard to avoid). The idea of having to carry the treasure around you was funny, and jumping off of it made the game even better, albeit a little bit easy. Once you have enough treasure, it's kinda hard not to fly towards the end. Having (gravity-defying) lava above you could solve this issue. Great and funny execution!

I survived and made $38. Liked how the gold you collected along the way helped shield you from the fire as you proceeded even though it did at times hinder you with your movement. Interesting trade off. The humour from collecting the larger statues and objects was also a nice touch. Just wish there had been more levels to try :)
