Here is its eulogy, a collection of the kind words written about it while still among the living. They shall live on forever in its place.

Please note: "This is a challenge game. If you don't like to achieve something which is hard to get then you should not play this :D"

Beneath the surface exists a man's life named BOB. His job? Find gold and evade other pesky gold rushers

This was a entry for the Ludum Dare 29 Compo created in 48hrs

At first I found this game very hard, but that was until I found out how useful F is. I even got the All hearts medal, which at first I thought was impossible.

For that medal, the best tip is: you just have to position yourself at the same height as your enemies (sometimes you'll need to jump) before they see you, and press F; the bullets will kill enemies even off screen. Doing this, you can kill almost all enemies without ever getting damaged.
For the high jumps that damage you when you land, just jump right before touching the ground. Kinda like jumping on a falling elevator right before impact, but actually working ;)
About the pit of lava in level 3, same as before: just jump before touching the lava, that is, as soon as your character enters the screen (since he'll be falling very fast).

never knew I would get a review this late still.. thanks for the nostalgia XD and glad you liked it

I'm guessing you only play-tested this with an XBOX controller. Not everyone has an XBOX controller, and those of us who don't, don't like playing a game where one of the most important keys is the CONTROL button, which has unintended consequences like trying to add favorites to your browser, etc. as you hit any other key besides just Ctrl. Unplayable for me, sorry.

<deleted> responds:

Sorry to hear that, it was play tested on both control schemes. Did not notice these problems, it should not happen if your browser is focussed on the game (Try clicking on the game and then press CTRL and see if it does it again)

Its Funny <3<3<3
