Goblin and Coins

Run and jump, collect coins, confront enemies and avoid traps, open gates and find secret stashes. It's a simple 2D platformer with a twist: You're not a hero from the castle about to slay an evil dragon, you're a goblin cook working for the dragon! It starts slowly but things get complicated.

About the Game

Run and jump, collect coins, confront enemies and avoid traps, open gates and find secret stashes.
