Fools Gold
A turn based boss-rush game made by a team taking part in Boss Rush Jam, from the 5th Jan - 5th February 2024. Play in full-screen for the best experience.
Fools Gold
Fools Gold is a turn based strategy game where you have to exchange fake goods to the unaware denizens and merchants of hell in order to take all their gold before progressing. Dive into the depths of hell and get back your precious pet and other possessions, without getting robbed yourself.
Theme: Exchange (+ boss rush)
We took the theme Exchange, and developed a bartering game with a turn-based system and strategy elements.
Trade items with bosses, so they let you pass through their realm. But be careful, once you sell an item, it will not be available for future barters. Drain the wealth of each denizen and then exchange your goods to save wee Crumpet, your beloved cat.

New gameplay concept, quiet hard to understand with the tutorials 😅. The Web version of this game for some reason loaded up my cpu and things started lagging. CPU Temps reached upto like 90/95. Downloadable version worked just fine.
Took me a hot minute to work out what was going on but after that it became quite interesting
Getting gem combos together for phat stacks was quite cathartic
Nice ideas and gameplay. But, now that I've got Sir Frizzles back, I can't breathe!
Very fun, unique, and pretty game.
Great work, Rosia!
