Hello little goblins, Thank you for all your support throughout the years. 8 years, to be more precise, as the first game in the series - Goblin and Coins - was released on November 8th 2016. Time simply flies by. There are two more Goblin and coins games since, a very difficult Goblin and Coins II with metroidvania-lik levels and a focus on exploration and acquiring upgrades, and an easier alternative to it, The Lost Recipes, which is more similar to the first game, with mostly linear levels and unlimited continues. In order to celebrate together, a franchise link has been created on steam, so it's easier to find all the games in the series, and also there will be a significant discount on all three games at the same time a bit later this month (scheduling requirements prevent it from starting today). Don't forget that purchasing a complete-your-collection bundle gives you an additional discount on top of the regular discount. Happy 8th goblinversary to all of you! PS There just might be a tiny giveaway hidden here.

There's no changes to the code and assets of the game this time. After watching a bunch of streamers play The Lost Recipes, I've decided to add (more) bean soup cauldrons to larger, exploration-focused levels, in the base game too. It's not going to turn it into an easy game, but should be more welcoming to the players who are after the certain achievements, while still being difficult to master.

The wait is finally over, The Lost Recipes is OUT NOW and can be purchased on Steam. Please note that, if you already own the previous two games, you can save on top of the -20% launch discount by purchasing the complete the set bundle. What awaits you?

• Familiar platforming mechanics, traps and enemies, but improved!
• 25 handcrafted levels
• world 1 very easy, worlds 2 and 3 easy/medium, worlds 4-5 a bit challenging
• Unlimited continues / level restarts
• No boss fights, just platforming fun!
• Double-jump available from the very start of the game
• 5 brand new recipes to unlock, prepare (baking), and post your artwork to the game hub
• English and Serbian language (with Brazilian Portuguese coming soon and more to potentially come later)
• Gamepad support, keyboard re-binding

• Double-jump available from the very start of the game
• 5 brand new recipes to unlock, prepare, and post your artwork to the game hub

Hello friends, The free DEMO for the next adventure in the series is here now. It's been prepared for the upcoming Steam NextFest June2024, but before the press and public get to check it out, you have the opportunity to byte in first. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2677680/Goblin_and_Coins_II_The_Lost_Recipes/ If you have any comments or questions, you can leave feedback in the dedicated thread in the game forums right here on Steam. Thank you for the support!

This week marks a full year since the release of the game in April 2023, so in that name there's a record low discount on both Goblin and Coins games... https://store.steampowered.com/app/551580/Goblin_and_Coins/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/694990/Goblin_and_Coins_II/ ...and a small giveaway for the supporters. Have fun!

• Updated the community links

• Added two additional bean soup cauldrons to the Dark mines level, that are only available to the players who don't have the double jump unlocked yet

• Minor improvements to the Sunny Beach layout.
• Updated the community links.

• A new level added - Secret level 5 - adding a bit of seasonal spirit. (Requires the true sight upgrade to be acquired in order to access from the map)

Nothing really changed in this new build compared to the previous one in the means of levels, enemies, gameplay...

• Updated the menu tooltips for the gameplay/easier start, to reflect changes in the build 1.2.3
• Updated the community links
• Added a promo for the next title in the series

Nothing really changed in this new build compared to the previous one in the means of levels, enemies, gameplay... The only thing is that I've increased the number of continues available in order to motivate the players who don't understand the idea of continues and the underworld and might be scared by the shrinking numbers, and reward those who manage to escape it. So, from now on...

• New game with an "easier start" ON (default) sets you with 30 continues instead of 20.
• New game with an "easier start" OFF sets you with 20 continues instead of 15.
• Escaping the underworld adds 20 new continues instead of 15.

The store page is up now for the next adventure: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2677680/Goblin_and_Coins_II_The_Lost_Recipes/ Please wishlist and follow to be the first to get the news and updates and to support the effort. Thank you.

Would you be interested in collecting some new recipes? https://youtu.be/BBPgc_HR3TU

• TBA (follow the dev page or discord to be the first to know, store page coming later)

• A new level added - Secret level 4. (Requires the true sight upgrade to be acquired).
• Added a switch that enables a choice of glyphs seen in hints (XB+PS, XB, PS).
• Updated the community links.

• Added a PS4 glyph alongside the XB glyph for the action command (if the gamepad is connected, otherwise the hint will show a defined keyboard control).
• Improved the detection and handling of a potential gamepad disconnection during the gameplay

• Difficulty adjustment: Added a bean soup (life pickup) cauldron to the "Deadly cliffs"
• Difficulty adjustment: Removed one log press from the "Deadly cliffs" (left side niche)
• Updated the community links

• Fixed the unusual volume spike for the Hills music theme
• Made the last moving ice platform in the "Snowy pass" require less precision

• Added hints to the map screen in order to indicate the need to search for the entrance to the locked hidden levels

• Updated the community links

• Difficulty adjustment: Added an additional bean-soup cauldron to levels "Depths" and "Getting warmer" (only accessible using Shrinky-powder upgrade)

Minor adjustment to the Serbian translation

• Fixed an issue where losing a life in the air over a deadly area might kill you again when you land into the deadly area underneath (spikes/lava/fog). Now, touching the deadly area will teleport you back to safety with only one life lost.

• Changed the description of the "Easier start" option (under Settings>Gameplay) to match the new values (from the update 1.13)
• Minor improvements to the Turkish translation

• Difficulty adjustment: New game now starts with 10 (instead of 5) or 20 (instead of 10; easier start) continues.

• Increased a gamepad button image size in the action hint and improved a gamepad detection
• Swapped the cannon sound fx for the 2nd and the last boss to cannon sound instead of the gun
• Lowered the volume of the cash register sound fx in the upgrade store

• Cumulative minor fixes (nothing important really)

I'm sorry you had to wait, but the gamepad input on Linux/SteamOS should now be working the same way it does on Windows. Even the users of SteamDeck should not have to use Keyboard emulation (WASD) anymore.

• Re-wrote the gamepad input from scratch.

Update 1.0.5 adds some elements that will help adjust the difficulty where needed, based on the initial feedback.

• Added a hint to avoid the blue key in the Dark mines level (requires double-jump for a safe retrieval)
• Added some visual clues for finding the hidden coins more easily in several levels
• Added a bean soup cauldron (+1 hp on pickup) to Dark mines, Depths and Getting warmer levels. These will only show up if the "Easier start" option is enabled on starting a new game (default).

• Fixed a typo in the Serbian translation.

• Fixed the "New game story screen" layout for Spanish translation by better wrapping the text lines.

A few typos were reported by the players in different translations. They are fixed now. If you notice anything off, feel free to report.

Hello little goblins, Years have passed, but the wait is finally over. Eat your bean soup, then run and jump through the new adventure ahead of us. Goblin and Coins II is out now!
Goblin and Coins II is a 2D pixel art platformer with a unique twist - after the player loses all lives and all continues, they end up in a challenging level called the Underworld, where they must assembly the Golden branch in order to resurrect with additional continues/lives. Of course, the game can be made easier (or not - create your own challenge!) in many ways, including purchasing up to five upgrades in exchange for the collected coins (additional life, double jump, 99 continues, instant shrinking to gain access to crawl space tunnels, and seeing the invisible objects/levels) or using an "easier start" gameplay option in the settings menu. The game features 25 handcrafted story levels, 5 boss arenas, upgrade store (no microtransactions of any kind, just coins collected in the game/levels), the Underworld, and 5 hidden levels. It supports English, Serbian, Russian, Spanish, Portuguese-Brazil, Greek, Ukrainian and German so far, with Turkish in the works.
Use the launch discount to start playing today, or if you already own Goblin and Coins (2016) you can get additional discount by using a complete the set bundle containing both games. https://store.steampowered.com/app/694990/Goblin_and_Coins_II/ https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/24672/Goblin_and_Coins_collection/

Goblin and Coins II will participate in the NEXT FEST June '22 with a DEMO for you to try out and hopefully have fun. What to expect in the DEMO:

• Only English and Serbian language. More to come in the full release.
• Only the Windows build available for now, Linux/SteamDeck dedicated build coming later (you can try and use Proton though).
• All settings and options available, be sure to tune it to your liking before playing.
• Available levels: Midnight raid, Sunny beach, Fisherman's village, Dark mines, Downhill, Cpt. Greenbeard boss fight, Snowy pass, Ice caves (+ the underground, a special level you only get to see after you lose all lives/continues). These are the initial levels and are on the easy side.
• Quarter of the world map, including store/trader (ingame coins exchanged for upgrades, no mtx!)
• Upgrade 2 (double jump) is purchasable for free (available sum will go into debt. I recommend getting the 4th life first, so you can have both)
• Upgrade 4 (shrinky in a blinky) works automatically without a purchase (will cost 200 coins later)
