Mister Coinz Golden Horizon

What is this game? 

Mister Coinz: Golden Horizon is a 3D spline based platformer. Collect all the coins and reach the end portal in the fastest time! 

Who is Mister Coinz?

Some say he was once human but after a millennia of consuming coins he has become something else.. His lust for coins has seen him defeat Dragons for their stockpiles but his avarice has also plundered the coffers of charities. Now he travels the cosmos seeking coins wherever they may be, his name feared across the universe.

Why play this?

• This game was inspired by old Crash Bandicoot levels where you move forward on a path (spline) dealing with obstacles trying to get that Platinum trophy. It is not an open world adventure game!

• There is a Tutorial mode where you can practice. A Normal mode where you respawn at the start after defeat and a Hard mode where you have 1 life and the level resets if you fail. So pick your pace!

• If you like to feel the satisfaction of mastering movements, timings  and mechanics this game is perfect as there are no gimmicks ( no grappling hooks, power ups etc.). 

• The game uses NO external 3D models or materials/textures/samples, everything was made in Unity HDRP as it comes default. It's programmer art with a high render pipeline!

• Feedback to me! The world of Mister Coinz can take us anywhere. This game is a standalone product but made with the idea of having an expansive world with multiple levels. Any ideas, locations, mechanics you suggest will be taken on board.

Controls

Can be played with a controller but here are the basic keyboard controls:

• Jump = Space

• Double Jump = Space again whilst in the air

• Dash = Left Shift

• Slam = Space and then E

• Speed Boost = activates in 2 stages whilst moving forward

• Spin = Q

• Spin Jump = Q whilst in the air to slow movement

Credits

• All models and textures were made from within Unity with the default Unity HDRP package. No external models, samples, textures, shaders, materials are used.

• The SFX were made by myself in  Chiptone

• The Music is from free from Pixabay by an artist named OctoSound so full credit goes to them for this funky soundtrack.

Known Issues

• Currently there is a working leader board but no trophies are actually awarded yet. I am collecting data on completion times so figure out.

•  Changing graphic settings may require a restart even though it doesn't say it. Most impactful if your experience low FPS is turning off Bloom/Ambient Occlusion/Reflections.

• Cap it at 60 FPS if you experience crashes.
