Totally digging the comic sans. I was slightly confused about the leveling up system but managed to transfer some MegaloCoins (TM) XD. It's definitely funny and very much pays homage to days gone by.
Excellent work bro!

I like the idea of a game like this (and the graphic style was excellent), but I wasn't able to accomplish very much in the game (even when I got a friend to join). I just gave coins and leveled up and then couldn't figure out what to do next.
Good work!
The game is quite clever, and I suppose it would be economically interesting with a larger playerbase, but with just two people and an AI (which is how my game was) it was a little slow. I like the natural text communication interface, and appreciate the idea of letting players figure stuff out, but it would be cool if all the players options for interacting with the AI were given to them (so they have something to do when no humans are online). Most of the criticism only stems from the fact that the playerbase wasn't large enough to provie the full experience, it seems like it would be great otherwise.

This game has a cool idea and seems like it would be really fun. The only problem is that whenever I played, I was the only one. Nice job though!
Was on with three people plus the AI, but couldn't really figure out what to do. Gave the AI a coin, received some coins - no idea haha. Kind of a fun chat program, but not really sure what to do with it as far as a game. A couple things - is the user list supposed to show other users in the chat? It only showed my name, so I had to keep asking if people were around. Also, the AI was very chatty with a small player base. The frequency of it "wondering if anyone is around" could probably be reduced. Fun idea!

It's a shame I couldn't do much while I was playing because I was the only one in the room. I managed to get to level 4 by just giving all my coins to the AI. Would love to get someone else to play it.

@Ghen @olkeencole The server crashed due to a bug which should be fixed now.
@8Keys Studios – The AI should be a little quieter now. The sidebar was only meant to be a “status” area for yourself, not a user list. I had originally planned on players being able to receive and trade items that would show up as pictures in that area, but canned that feature due to time restraints, so it’s just a big empty area now. A user list would have been a good idea, though.
