Bard's Gold is ready for Halloween! Are you!?

Bard's Gold 1.2 Halloween Update

Hello folks, It was a lot of work, but we are finally finished and the Halloween update is here! I would like to start by thanking everyone who has supported us and helped with bug reports/feedback. Turning Bard's Gold into a better game. We have a lot of new content and a new game mode! Here it is:

New game mode : Hardcore

We have added a health bar in the new game mode versus the current standard of instant-death. You will also be able to upgrade your stats as you progress throughout the run. However, you will not benefit from upgrades nor will you be able to upgrade your passive skills after the end of the run (upon permanent death.)

The level loading system has been changed to be a bit more complex, increasing the random factor in the new game mode.
New leaderboard
Secrets

Halloween Content

We have developed all new levels, spooky enemies and traps, and even a complete new world. They are all hidden within the stages; you just have to find them!

Bug Fixes & Changes

Skill Book Names were not appearing correctly on some resolutions, but has now been fixed.
Boss health has been reduced, but their mitigation has been increased resulting in decreased damage taken.
Applying gems to passive skills now has a quicker rate of application.
In world 2-1 after acquiring a map piece and entering the shop, the map piece would disappear. This has been fixed.
On certain resolutions the game was too dark due to surface issues. We have now fixed this.

We want to thank everyone again for their trust and support as we continue to improve the game and aim to bring back the nostalgia from our childhood platformers. For those of you who haven’t joined the Pixel Lantern family just yet, we encourage you to give us a try. We know you won’t be disappointed. We want to wish everyone a Happy Halloween and may you fill your bags with lots of goodies!!

Bard's Gold is a challenging platformer that let's you explore eerie worlds in a quest for a Goblin that stole your gold. Help the Bard to overcome the dungeon’s many dangerous perils and use your new-found treasures to improve your character and to buy new weapons and gear!

This game takes inspiration from early 90's platforming classics such as Rainbow Island, Rick Dangerous, Alex Kidd and Erik, which at the time were popular on the Amiga and consoles. Bard's Gold is slower paced than most current day platformers, but is extemely challenging. Players need to avoid enemies, traps and projectiles in order to progress. Being hit by any of them means instant death. Difficult puzzles and towering bosses will have to be overcome to reach the filthy goblin that stole the family treasure.

Key Features

Old school platforming experience - No tutorials or explanations how things should be done. Everything including the basic game mechanics must be figured out by yourself as you go.
Rogue-lite - Different layouts for each level is randomly chosen every playthrough. While getting the chance to memorize levels and get better at them, the "random level" system will keep your interest. With the gems you collect you will be able to upgrade your character on the Game Over screen. These upgrades are permanent and will help you on future playthroughs.
Extremely challenging, yet rewarding gameplay
Beautifully designed retro-inspired graphics
Gain powerful new abilities by finding skill books
Death will make you stronger
Solve intricate puzzles and defeat towering bosses
Full controller support
Steam achievements, leaderboards and trading cards

Lore

While I was adventuring, I got my saddle containing the legendary Bard's Gold stolen by a filthy goblin.
It has been my Family Treasure for generations...
I had to get it back at all costs! Giving chase to the burglar, I went through a portal that sent me to this strange world...
I must escape and return the Bard's Gold to where it belongs!
