Okay, I would have liked a way to restart a level mid way. TheAverageGoob was nice enough to tell me that I could leave to the main menu, though just being able to restart would still be nice I think.
End of Board 1 - 1325pt - 12 Gold
Love the Bank environment, also the bullets really come in handy for busting obstacles.
It is a challenge to figure out when to try and slap the bomb and when to dodge
End of Board 2 - 2015pt - 12 Gold
Okay, LOVE the glove sheriff! The final board in general is super fun. Lots of things to bounce off of
End of Board 3 - 4955pt - 32 Gold
Not sure if those points and gold are just from this board? Like I'm pretty sure I collected gold on board 2, so I guess it was a coincidence that I got 12 again? Overall, quite a fun game. I think you could make it into something cool if you wanted to extend it.
Thanks so much for playing and for the feedback Dis!! <3
