Why play it

You are a knight, albeit not young anymore. You still prefer your vocation: saving pretty and not really princesses, fighting mighty and tiny monsters. Nevertheless, you love gold much more! So it's time for you to hit the road and earn enough gold for retirement.

Story and worldbuilding

You are a knight, albeit not so young as you once were, but your heart is still full of nobility and your sword is still sharpened to a fine point. Every time you put on your armour, you experience a familiar thrill - your past is full of heroic deeds and adventures, and new quests await you in the future. You have rescued beauties out of the paws of terrible dragons, fought mighty beasts, and even faced small but cunning monsters. But behind these exploits lies one big truth: gold. Yes, gold! It gleams brightly in the sun, and every coin sound delights your ear. Who else would think of a carefree old age if not you? Which banner or medal would help you rest easy in the decline of your years? Your old legends? Or that humble fee the kingdom ordered to pay you for your hazardous adventures? Alas, neither can provide you with a peaceful old age. Meanwhile, your knighthood privileges are beginning to crack like the armour that has served you for more than a decade. Your purpose is clear: it's time to hit the road, to take enough gold with you to end your days in luxury and comfort. This year will be a year of good fortune - you are about to set out on an exciting journey, where the sword will be drawn only for defence, and the search for wealth will become your primary mission in life.

Gold for Retirement isn’t the flashiest or deepest platformer out there, but it has a lot of heart. It blends old-school simplicity with a couple of clever mechanics and pairs it all with a soundtrack that far outshines expectations. Sure, the gliding can feel a little floaty, and yes, some levels will test your patience, but overall it’s a fun little game that rewards persistence. It’s not going to set the gaming world on fire, but for anyone who wants a no-nonsense platformer with a quirky premise and a fantastic soundtrack, Gold for Retirement is absolutely worth a look. A free demo is also available if you want to try it first.
