@misterstripey Thank you for the kind words! I've fixed the online hiscore now!

haha nice. I love the online scoring thing. You can see who's trying. xD

I liked the game, seems goblins loading up on treasure was a sub-theme (greedy goblins)! LOL
I really like your implementation, very cool game mechanic. Also liked the leader board concept.

Simple but enjoyable! Loved the graphics, lava splashes added alot of tense to the game. Well done!

Nice and fun little game with simple but effective visuals and a well working mechanic. Seems like it was aimed for mobile, I'd suggest trying landscape instead of portrait, could result in more planning ahead and maybe even more tension because you see the lava from further away.

Nice Game! Liked the graphics and the theme especially. Felt the jump was too difficult. Maybe adjust the difficulty a bit to increase play time. Good work :)

Fun, simple, and a great take on the theme! Love the leaderboard at the end and the hints of what to do a just enough. Awesome job!

Yes, a good execution here, it's funny, it makes me think of a game i made for the weekly game jam. https://grostonton.itch.io/no-more-gold-update , the fact that the hero must throw the gold etc, i love !

That's a very nice little game ! A fun theme implementation. However, somehow controls felt a bit tedious. But, I am sure that it can be improved.
The cover graphic is really nice !

One thing that disappointed me a bit was that the game definitely rewarded you for just stocking up a big collection of diamonds at the beginning and then throwing them all out to try to squeeze out a few more points on top of that big chunk. Couldnt get past 170k range, would have really liked it if the high scores were working!
Thanks for sharing this game! Also- nice work on the title art- it definitely grabbed my eye :)
