Our game "The Whole Game" is a top-down action game where the goal is to collect money and delve deeper down the mine shaft without running out of hearts!

How to Play: Use the arrow keys and space bar to navigate the main menu. Once the game starts, use the arrow keys to change your character's movement. Collect flying money bags for bonus cash. Touch the hole with a ladder to advance to the next level.

Credits: The Whole Game was created with the Scratch engine in 72 hours with original code, art, and music. The team was made of 4 people. For two people making code and/or art this was their first game jam, for one person making music and some code and some art this was their second, and the 4th person helped with initial brainstorming and finishing testing.

Feedback Wanted: Since this is our first Ludum Dare entry for this team and has original art, music, and gameplay, we are welcome to all kinds of feedback! Especially related to how fun or balanced "The Whole Game" is to play. You can also check out the open-source code on Scratch at: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/520639668

Pretty nice game, liked the music. Bit slow to begin with, but upgrades were cool.

Have you considered learning a proper game engine? They are much more flexible and robust, and faster than scratch. I'm just saying, because your skills seem somewhat restrained in scratch, from what I can tell.
