Really great concept! If you wanted to move forward with it you could add more movement mechanics (which of course would degrade with gold). And possibly the ability to drop some of your gold in order to regain mobility.
@jordan-toth Thanks! Funny you mention it, those kind of movement mechanics were in the original plans that got scrapped to slim down the scope for the jam. Thank you for the feedback.
I like the basic premise and presentation. However, I have some points of improvement for you: The camera should move earlier than the last third of the screen. As it is right now, you can only barely see ahead which makes it really hard to judge where you are going. Also, I had no idea how much gold I actually needed to pass the level.
This game was very cool! I loved that pixel art aesthetic, however it could have animations and sounds, it seems to be procedural aswell which is a great point for this little game.
Nice consept by the way!
