We Are Golden Overview
We Are Golden was one of those strange, absorbing games you'd find in the late days of Flash. It didn't have the polish of a big studio release, but it had a particular kind of ambition. You loaded it up on a site like Kongregate or Newgrounds, not knowing exactly what you were getting into, just that it promised a journey.
You control a small, golden humanoid figure moving through a scrolling landscape. Your basic actions are running, jumping, and shooting a steady stream of projectiles at anything that moves. The main goal is straightforward: travel from left to right, survive the enemies, and defeat the large bosses that block your path. The game supports two-player co-op locally, which changes the dynamic considerably, letting you cover more ground. The pacing is relentless; enemies spawn constantly, and the screen is often crowded with hazards. It feels chaotic and demanding, a test of your ability to track multiple threats while maintaining forward momentum. Playing it is an exercise in sustained focus amid visual noise.
