Overview
Goblin and Coins is a challenging 2D platformer that flips the script on traditional hero narratives. Instead of playing as a valiant knight, players step into the tiny, grubby shoes of a goblin cook working for a dragon. This unique perspective sets the stage for a perilous journey filled with traps, enemies, and the constant threat of permadeath.
The game begins with a deceptively simple premise: your dragon master has been robbed by a rogue, and it's your fault. You'll need to chase them down, navigating through five distinct environments that escalate in difficulty.
From the fiery depths of the dragon's lair to the more civilized, and thus more dangerous, Castle Keep, the path is fraught with peril. The closer you get to the human world, the more vulnerable our goblin protagonist becomes, making each step a calculated risk.
Highlights
- Unique Villain Protagonist: Play as a goblin cook, not a hero, working for a dragon.
- Permadeath Challenge: Experience a difficult 2D platformer where mistakes have permanent consequences.
- Varied Environments: Journey through 5 distinct settings, from a dragon's lair to a castle.
Who It's For
This game is perfect for players who enjoy a good challenge and appreciate a fresh take on familiar genres. If you're a fan of 2D platformers with a high difficulty curve and don't mind the prospect of starting over, Goblin and Coins offers a rewarding experience. Those who enjoy games with a touch of dark humor and a non-traditional narrative will also find themselves drawn to this title.
