Goblin and Coins II

[url=https://youtu.be/n1QS-XjSsQ4?si=bj-SVXi1qbF5kQlu] First 20 Minutes Gameplay Here[/url] First things first: When getting your first upgrade, I'd advise going for the double jump, as it’s essential for advancing through the levels! (just note that there is an achievment for completing the game without upgrades too =) Here we go with the second installment (and improvement) from the first Goblins and Coins game: Goblin and Coins 2 :p In this charming platformer, you play as a Goblin (again ) trying to collect all the coins on each stage against pirates with boss fights!(obviously, duh!). It's a precision platformer, and although the graphics might not feature the latest "animatic" style, the gameplay is superior to many others in terms of responsiveness. The game offers replay value since you can't access all the coins until you acquire certain upgrades. This means you'll need to revisit levels to collect everything.

This is quite an improvement from the original which was charming but had several elements which made it a rather conditional recommendation. While it won't convince anyone who's not already a platformer fan to get into the genre, it is rather well built. While there's a live system that does have you frequently quitting to menu instead of risking a death, it's not a true game over so it's up to you as a player to play as you consider best. Levels are simple enough with occasional key hunts, but they are moderately memorable in layout and design. While the game is linear, there are incentives to replay, especially with some of the unlockable upgrades which add a minor Metroidvania flavour while also making things easier. My only complaint so far is that when going to full coin runs, the game expects you to find all the coins in the stage at once (instead of remembering which coins you've picked before). This is easy enough in most stages, but on some of the larger ones with plenty of branching paths the search can get exhausting. Looking forward to the standalone expansion.

Great Game, Its a great sequel to the first one. Runs great on the steam deck.

Really nice old school platformer reminding me of a nicer time and games when I was a wee lad. Controls are simple and responsive and levels are nicely thought out and designed. There are some pixel perfect jumps to be made without the double jump power up that can be irritating, but you get enough coins pretty quickly. One issue I had was that achievements weren't working until I started a new game for a second time. Went through first ten levels so far and hopefully the challenge will increase from now on as I'm craving that goblins'n'ghoul platforming.

A charming game. I like the visual style, the game-play feels good, and overall little details, like the goblin sweating when you hang on the platform or a little bunny appearing behind a snow hill are awesome. Feels like a game made by a real person with passion for what they were doing. Each location has a unique vibe, the goblin has his own character and the simple story bits are great as well. However I don't like the lives system, because in this game you'll die a lot, and losing all lives means you have to start again or go through a punishing dungeon without your upgrades. I'm not sure if I'll continue because even though I'd like to see the whole game, I don't want to get stressed about losing my progress every time I lose a life.

A retro platformer with basic mechanics. There are over 30 levels that you beat and unlock one by one, all with varying lengths and difficulty. Most of them are straightforward. On the more complex and open ones, you can easily get lost on your first run, as it's usually not obvious where to go. Some coins are locked behind abilities that you can buy in the shop, so to gather every coin, you need to first buy some upgrades. It's tagged as a difficult game, but to be honest, it didn't feel like one: there is no permadeath, boss fights are easy, and there are only a few challenging moments, which are easy to learn because the opponent's AI is very simple and predictable.
