Great game, great concept. This is a real treat, even if you stink at puzzlers like me. Learned about Pactolus; I never knew. Thanks for encouraging me to brush up on my Midas lore.

it's a beautiful concept, but the credits level is so sad :'( no matter what he does he can't reach her anymore, it's really heartbreaking.

There are some really great problem solving levels in here! Well done for making me think, and not wanting to give up!

Inventive -- usually im not so into puzzle games but this one was good. Also i like the soliloquy as level titles 5/5

The girl isn't turning to gold properly if you hit her from the side. Still works if you jump on her head, and it's still counted as a loss and plays the sound properly.

for some reason r isn't working for resetting. I don't know why but if this is a bug please try to fix it. I used firefox so I was wondering if that was the problem?

Great game, simple but enthralling. Especially good considering the time frame it was created in. Could an option be added to replay past levels, once the credit level is reached? That may already be there, and I'm just blind, but if not it would be a nice option to have.

Oh, yes the story of King Midas, he invites a poor and homeless person to dinner. He then gets one wish . He wishes that everything he touches turns to gold, but he finds it a curse. He cant eat or sleep. His daughter hugs him before he can say no. He loves gold but loves his daughter more. He gets a chance to rid of the curse. He must bathe in the creek... after that the curse is gone and everything is back to normal.

Just in case anyone cares, im pretty sure the original story was the greedy king asked a sorceror or alchemist to make everything he touched to become gold, but when he touched his daughter, she became a lifeless gold statue. The cure was a cleansing water, which stopped him from turning everything he touched into gold and changing back everything which he touched when enchanted.

Very good for 48 hours effort. I agree with some of the other comments though the jump action isn't quite right. It's a little too easy to fall off the edge of a platform because of a failed jump.

In theory, the credits should be beatable. In the myth, Midas, after soaking in the river, touches his daughter, who turns back to normal.

Replay the level with 'r' works fine for me (Chrome). Great game, only needs some awesome music to accompany it all :)
