Coin Crusade

Fight greed with greed! 

As the kingdom's last (and most unlikely) hope, defeat the evil dragon using the power of the coins scattered throughout the land! Find coins lying (floating?) around, and buy upgrades to carry more coins to smack the big bad with. But be warned: the longer you take to gather money, the more strength the dragon regains...

• Fight a dragon with the power of capitalism! Damage the boss with the currency you collect throughout the land!
• Buy upgrades to multiply the amount of coins you can purchase, upgrade your wallet to carry more, and toughen yourself up against stronger enemies!
• The clock is ticking... The dragon will slowly regenerate health when not being attacked. Get grinding to stop him faster!

This was a project made for the Game Develop month game jam! We're a small team of friends who've dabbled in a couple of game jams trying to hone our skills as game makers.

Controls:

• Use mouse to click on menu buttons
• Arrow keys/controller d-pad &left  analog stick: Move left/right
• X key/X on Xbox controller/Square on Playstation Controller/Y on Nintendo Controller: attack
• Space bar/A/X/B button on controllers: Jump
• Escape/Start to pause

Hints and Tips:

• If you're carrying too many coins, you'll move slower and jump lower than usual. However, you'll deal more damage to common enemies. 
• Don't be afraid to spend, spend, spend! Rebecca the shopkeeper has plenty of items for sale to help you hold more moolah, or multiply the number of coins you can grab. Don't feel like shopping? Just jump over her!
• Your main goal is to kill the dragon with your hard "earned" cash. Going back to his lair every so often to beat him up is a good way to unload your excess coins. The more you have, the more it'll hurt!
• Coins reload whenever you reenter a level, so backtracking is important!
• Keep an eye on your coin count! Some enemies might steal your coins if they hit you! Also, if you die, you'll lose a few coins.
• Got a need for speed? Turn on the speedrun timer!
