Thanks to everyone who played Gold Express during the jam! We’ve been going through all the feedback, and we’re excited to share that we’ve decided to keep developing the game with a planned release on the Google Play Store later this year.

Development will be part-time for now as we’re juggling this alongside our full-time jobs, so updates might take a bit longer.

As part of this update, we’ve made a few small improvements and fixes based on early feedback. 

We’ve also updated the game’s cover image to better reflect the gameplay—now featuring the character and the minecart front and center to help highlight what Gold Express is all about from the first glance.

This update includes:

• Lowered shop item prices to help players use their gold for fun stuff more easily

• Improved UI scaling (still some quirks on 4K and ultrawide monitors)

• Fixed Z-leveling on certain background objects that caused glitches

• Hopefully fixed a build compression issue that prevented the game from launching for some players

Known issues:

• Music doesn’t start properly when launching the game

• Rare overflow crash during very long runs

Looking ahead:
We’re planning to expand levels, add new environments and gameplay mechanics, and rework the shop with more items. A mission system is also on the roadmap to give players more to aim for. Down the line, we’ll update the tutorial to make the early game more intuitive and engaging.

We’ll continue posting updates here as we go—thanks again for all your support and feedback!
