Goblin and Coins

About

Goblin and Coins is a 2D platformer where you control a goblin cook tasked with gathering ingredients and treasure in a dragon’s lair. The gameplay loops around running, leaping over traps, dodging enemies, and collecting coins to progress. Each level locks behind gates that require specific items to unlock while hidden stashes reward careful exploration. The controls are tight and responsive though the difficulty spikes midway as obstacles become more punishing. The art style is cartoonish but functional with colorful environments that help distinguish hazards from paths. The standout hook is the role reversal, playing a goblin servant instead of a hero changes the tone from epic to cheeky. Community feedback notes the charm in this small-scale design though some found the later levels too abrupt in difficulty. With no multiplayer or story elements it’s a straightforward challenge for fans of old-school platforming. The PC and Linux port runs smoothly on most systems and the 4-hour campaign offers a brisk experience for a casual play session.
