This was a ton of fun! You people before me did a great job, the game was already pretty fun, so I just polished the heck out of what was there and only made two small additions myself. I hope the thorn boys will host this jam often :)

Sure hope we'll make it through to the end! But I had a blast in any case. Hope you did, too!

I added:

Some post processing to make the thorn boys happy
New pick-up: single-use shield
New pick-up: time-slowing hour glass
A dynamic title at the start of the level
A dynamic game over "screen" at the end of the level
A time-delay on game over with a crude animation
Particle effects for pick-ups
New sound effects for pick-ups (the previous "ding" now only plays for diamonds)
A trail effect for the player
Added a pause screen on "Esc", with which you can quit the game (windows build only, instead of alt+f4, which obviously still works)
Screen shake and a blinking effect when getting hit
Small tweens to various UI elements (like the diamond counter)

Some UI assets were taken from https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/2d/gui/gui-kit-the-stone-116852, which I bought a long time ago. (Do not use outside this project)

The SFX added by me were made with jsfxr - https://sfxr.me/

My pixel-art was made in Aseprite.
