Try to bring only gold nuggets to the golden bucket (TM) to score points!

Evil chickens and tennis balls that remarkably look like gold nuggets will hinder your progress!

Game made for the gamedev.tv Jam 2021

How to play

This is a gold nugget:


This is not. It's actually a tennis ball:


This isn't a gold nugget either:


It  is a chicken which was sleeping peacefully until you picked it up and now it's pissed off and will gorge your eyes out!

Just kidding! Thank goodness for screens!

Anyway, can you tell them apart?


...

Maybe not, but by clicking on each one of them the actual content is revealed briefly and you get an audio cue, too.

Your goal is to bring only the real gold nuggets to the golden bucket above by cliking and dragging with your mouse (or your finger on a phone or tablet). Each time you achieve this you score get 1 point and get 5 seconds more and more nuggets, real and fake are spawned. 


Bringing tennis ball and chickens to the bucket will only waste your time.

Known issues

You can only pick up nuggets  once they reach the bottom of the floor.

Thats a nice try!

You have some bugs, some balls dont come when you click and its bad.
The game is simple but you follow the theme ;)

Continue trying and doing a good job!!!

Thank you! Yeah, a fix is on the way after the jam.

I dont get this game. No Audio but somewhat working (I guess?).

Sorry to read that. Aren’t the instructions clear enough? Please elaborate on the audio issue. The game has little audio (just some sfx), but it works afaik.

The Sound is working.  The instructions are clear now I get it.

Clicking on anything is not working :(

I’m really sorry to read that. Could you please elaborate? It’s a known issue that the nuggets don’t always respond to clicks, but they should as long as they are still and against the floor or a wall.

I wasn't able to drag or even click on any of the elements. The timer just constantly ticked down as I was stuck there panicking. I eventually got clicking to reveal them, but I still was not able to drag any.

Hmmm… weird. If you manage to click a nugget you should be able to drag it by keeping the left button down. Which version is it?
