Description

tl,dr; Random short gameplay video from a 3rd party

Goblin and Coins II (I'm the author of this game) is a difficult 2D pixel-art platformer with a unique twist - after the player loses all lives and all continues, they end up in a challenging level called the Underworld, where they must assembly the Golden branch in order to resurrect with additional continues/lives.

Of course, the game can be made easier (or not - create your own challenge!) in many ways, including purchasing up to five upgrades in exchange for the collected coins (additional life, double jump (recommended first purchase), 99 continues, instant shrinking to gain access to crawl space tunnels, and seeing the invisible objects/levels) and using an "easier start" gameplay option in the settings menu (on by default).

The game features:

25 handcrafted story levels,
5 boss arenas,
5 hidden levels. (+1 added 2 weeks ago)
upgrade store (no microtransactions of any kind, just coins collected in the game/levels),
the Underworld,
can be finished without any upgrades - but not 100% explored
There are some very light puzzles.
Full controller support,
works fine on SteamDeck.
You can configure keyboard input, gameplay options and so on.

Projected gameplay time for an average gamer is ~3h for the campaign, with up to 7+ hrs for completionists. Your experience may vary ofc.

It is available to play in English, Serbian, Russian, Spanish, Portuguese-Brazil, Greek, Ukrainian, German and Turkish.
