Story
In the first days, a mortal found a ball of gold in a strange room. For reasons now lost to history, they cast it through two stone pillars.
A joy beyond measure filled their spirit. They tried it again but never felt the same thrill. To restore the challenge, they set an obstacle, and thus the Golden Run was born.
Through the ages, each generation faced the run and added a new obstacle.

I really enjoyed the game!
The art is stunning, music's great and it looks VERY polished.
To improve it, I would make it more clear that yellow cells can be destroyed for points.
Loved the story throughout the game, good job!
Thanks :) There is a graphic in the second round that should explain the point mechanic.
But maybe I should made a extra round after the first (that explains moving) that is dedicated to the point mechanic after that the player places his first trap.
