What has a head and tail, but no legs? - a penny

It was fun roleplaying around as a penny. Nice game!

The game has no goal but it was fun and challenging , at least for me. Good job!

@victorcrafty @baraa-marwan Thanks for the feedback! There's a very subtly (probably too subtly) underlining theme and objective. I've been worried that there's not enough things pointing to it, indicating that there is a goal. That being said I'll be interested to see if anyone sees what we were going for hahaha :D thanks again for your guys feedback.

Never played a penny before. I really like some clever parts of the level design

Nice! Stuttered occasionally and I suck at platformers so a bit frustrating in places (my problem not your game!). Well done.

It would be cool if the penny rolled (rotated on the z axis) when it moved!

Very smooth movement, wasn't really sure where I was supposed to go.

I can't interact with anything in the game using Firefox. In Chrome the game doens't load properly.

"You are a penny."
Nice haha, very odd game, but I enjoyed it! The graphics were a bit tame though, but otherwise it was cool!

Hahaha I loved this take on the theme! It was a pretty fun game but could use a little more explanation. I'd love to play some more levels!

That is a very big level to be lost in. But I think I have found the exit.

I *think* I made it to the end, where it says "coin story" but I am not 100% certain that is a victory message. :smile:

The movement is straight forward, and the most enjoyable/challenging part was chaining the jumps up the shaft near the start. For the sake of having a challenge arc in the game, that would've been better near the end, as all that came after was simply going left or right.

The graphics are basic, but everything is clear. I never realized that 1969 flipped horizontally says 'papi', so now I learned something new today. Lack of sounds was a shame.

A game like this thrives on enjoyable movement and the elusive *gamefeel* (juicy bouncing, impact sounds, subtle screenshake, etc), and the lack of those things made it all feel pretty spartan. Nevertheless, the hunt for the finish line kept me engaged.
