Micro Thief

Medals

Medals High Scores

Ocean's Twelve 5 Points

You got all the gold, but with less skill and finesse than a beatboxing turkey

Office Space 10 Points

You were in, out, and on your way to Chotchkie's in just 200 seconds

Sexy Beast 25 Points

You got the gold in under 150 seconds, about time you retired to Spain, right?

Italian Job 50 Points

You dirty tea leaf! You half-inched all that gold in under 110 seconds!

Created as part of the Mini LD #34 competion over a few hours last weekend, the aim of which was to create a game confined to certain bizarre aspect ratios. In this case, 18x64. However, to get it accepted on Newgrounds I upscaled it 8x. You can play the original at http://omgames.co.uk/smal lminild.html

Collect all the gold in the shortest time possible (personal best is 133 seconds)
Up/left/right to move and jump
K to restart the level
SPACE show the map and gold remaining
Press any key to start

UPDATE: made a few changes based on the great feedback so far...
-Added medals! I think...Someone please let me know if it works
-Added WASD controls
-Tweaked the level design a little to prevent the player getting stuck in a few areas
-Hold down the spacebar to see how much gold you have left to collect
-Working on a map...Stay tuned!

UPDATE 2:
-Map is now done, just hold down the space bar to see where you are and where the gold is
-Added high scores!

In case anyone needs help or wants a better time score, I got the map by putting all the screens together: http://i.imgur.com/aZNPfxS.png
Good luck.

(yep, I have way too much freetime)

I'm not trying to hate or anything but I didn't really like this. I saw it after I beat Bertie the Butcher and thought Cool another pixel game. It was but it wasn't what I expected. You couldve done better :/

A great and small game that functions well.
It's not very in-depth, but LD games rarely are.

My only complaint is that the medals aren't all-inclusive. If you beat the game in 140 seconds, like I did, for example, you have to also beat it in over 200 seconds, and between 150-200 seconds to get the less skillful medals. This seems like bad achievement design to me.

As for getting under 110...gah. Can't do it.

This was a pretty fun speedrunner.
Short enough to have me motivated to play it several times and yet complicated enough to keep it challenging. Changing the screens was sometimes a bit glitchy and yeah the enviroment was rather plain. But those are minor issues in a speedrunner - so good job!
