Golden Greed

Hello fellow gamers and game development appreciators a like.

This is my submission for the Go Godot Game Jam 4, with the Theme "Less is more".

In this game you play as Furdiutor, a halfling creature subservient to a mysterious entity known as Amoraurum, who demands you to find gold for their hunger (literally).

Thus, you must explore a castle filled with guards and gold items, however, the less items you carry the more you'll be able to move and vice versa.

The game plays like a normal platformer with a small wall run feature for you to climb up obstacles.

Controls (only compatible with keyboard):

• For movement you can use WASD or the key arrows.
• To jump use the space bar.
• The E key allows you to interact, mainly to pick up items or to end the level.
• The I key allows you to access your inventory of collected items, select them with the E key and discard them if needed with the space bar.
• ESC will allow you to access the in game main menu if you need to go back to the main menu.

IMPORTANT HINT:

When you gain horizontal momentum, you will jump to the highest you can at that moment.

To do a wall run and go up, just make sure you either run or jump into the wall and press the W key, same applies for ladders.

You can also do a wall run when jumping into a wall, or any wall like surface.

But be careful with wall running, you can only wall run so much! 

Have fun getting as much gold as you can for Amoraurum.

Important! It's recommended to use the full screen feature.

Additional information:

During this project, Bing's AI which is built-in on the Bing search engine, was used at times to get hints at possible coding solutions.

UPDATE:

An extra level was added if you are able to get enough gold.

UPDATE 2:

Untested Windows10 and Linux Executables added. 

UPDATE 3:

Tried to fix some issues with the controls of the character, how the UI works and some issues with the rendering of some textures and fonts.
