Hmmmm, my only minor thought with that idea is that if the Gems and gold are hidden in out of the way places (as in original Monti), finding them all might be a bit frustrating if they'd vanish when you died, how would you know when you'd collected all of them?
While I like the penalties idea for competition, perhaps having it exclusive to a higher difficulty or a separate mode might help in bonus collecting. Btw, when I heard you were making the game I recently went and tried the original (or at least, an extremely faithful Pc remake), and it actually sounds as if your adding lots of stuff to the game as well as making it accessible. i just hope jumping over monster is slightly easier, I found the original extremely frustrating for this ;D.
