The Right Coin was our submission with [Pascal
Batty](https://twitter.com/scalbatty/) for the [Ludum Dare
44](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/44) game jam. The theme of the game jam
was: "your life is currency".

We decided to keep things simple and started with a platformer with a twist.

```
You're dying, and medicine ain't cheap.

Collect coins and buy medicine to extend your lifespan. Be careful of the
current market values of your coins to optimize how much you can buy with what
you have.
```

The game is available on
[itch.io](https://damantisshrimp.itch.io/the-right-coin).
