This game is officially done. Its done but its not good. I cut features and left some problems that don't break the game unresolved.

That said here is the final build for windows and some more screenshots.

About the game

This game is a First Person puzzle platformer in which the puzzle is to find the route that gets you the highest score by time and by the extra value of the platforms you are removing. There are many solutions so you gotta experiment a bit to find some of the better ones.

Updates

• Cursor Lock Improved
• Made beating the level a little more clear by Animating The Next Level Button and adding more rewarding sound effect for first win of the level.
• Now you can click on buttons with an unlocked cursor as well as the crosshair.
• Added warning if you don't achieve minimum score.
• Changed "Score" in texts to "Gold"
• Renamed title to Project Gold.

Updates

• Updated UI to improve comfort a bit. You can use escape to close the [TAB] Panel.

• Fixed positioning of doors so that people don't want to walk to the second level when they just jump into the game.

Changes

• Added bridges instead of jumping platforms In hub to make it easier to nanigate and platforms are now on the side if you are that kind of player :)
• Failing a run brings you back to first platform instead of switching to edit mode
• To finish a level you just got to land on the final platform instead of jumping into the yellow trigger volume.
• Added place holder sound effects for dying and finishing the level.
• Auto Saves highest scores.
• If the total score is reached a minimum score for the level a next level button appears.

The goal/puzzle in each level is to find the highest achievable score.

At the start of each level you can fly around the level and remove

parts of it to shape the level and get the most points out of it.

Removing platforms that make the level harder gives you more points. Removing obstacles subtract points. Time affects the score greatly.

Scoring is simple and everything that affects it is visible to the player. The player should always be rewarded for making the level more challenging and penalized for making it easy.

Please Criticize me if you have the time :)
