Pretty fun platformer. It was very fast but still playable. Good job!
Fun time! Platforming is veryyy heavy but the concept is fun, managed to only have a debt of 48k by the end of it
cool take on the theme! the movement was too fast for me at first but i imagine with some practice it would make it really satisfying to speedrun. and love the funky music. all round well done!
Funny game. The concept and the gameplay complement each other well
This was very fun! It took me a little while to get used to how fast I ran. Is it possible to get rid of all of my money? Because I wasn't even close when I beat it lol
funny concept and snappy gameplay! although i don't know if the game is framerate dependent because it felt like i was playing on 2x speed the whole time
Funny concept, this was a fun game. I found it hilarious how there were just piles of gold in your home initially and getting money was a bad thing. I enjoyed the art, which was cute. Minor nit: I got soft-locked in level 2 when I opened the gate by paying the booth on the right, then went in to pay the booth on the left and got stuck inside when the gate closed behind me. Maybe add a way to restart the specific level instead of the entire game? Super fun overall!
The game was cute, Mav loved the art and the concept is goofy and fun ^^ The sound effect for the coin was a bit ear piercing, the controls were a bit odd, the character moves way to fast, all in all a fun experience for Mav!
Way too fast paced for me. I was so overstimulated and couldn't finish it, oops. I loved the art, music, and concept, though, very nice work!
Hahaha, I enjoyed the fun lighthearted nature of the game. I wish the money you earned jumping on your piles of money or causing destruction actually mattered in the end!
The audio was great, and the mechanic at shooting money at people to open gates for your was fun as well.
The gameplay is somehow so unhinged that it's fun, I don't know how you did that, but awesome job.
The concept is so funny and I liked how fast paced the movement was. I was ZOOMING through the levels at one point. My only issue was Z to jump - it was difficult to get used to whilst also spamming X to shoot all my money hahaha. Oh and such a funny subversion to have the lava give you money as like a damage effect!
