Well I enjoyed that! Nice idea, good graphics and fitting sound. The only thing that threw me is that it's possible to launch your last coin and thereby end the game - maybe the last coin should be unthrowable?

I like the idea of throwing coins so that you can fit through tight spaces and such. Nice little game, managed to pay off my hat :)

Really fun game! Good take on the theme as well. I think if you had more thought out puzzles in your level the game would be 5/5 for me.

Really enjoyed this game. Love the character artwork and also thought the bubble machine artwork was great.

Pretty fun and such a good use of the theme! :) Well done! Loved the height change mechanic

Overall: Fun and funny.

Fun: Fun idea with a good bit of puzzle-platforming. The ability to easily reset is good. (If the game were much longer, then I wouldn't want to reset the whole thing every time I screw myself over - I suppose the game would have to be served in levels.)

Innovation: Certainly! I particularly like the clever way the coins deliver three different gameplay mechanics: the goal, the height changes that impose movement constraints, and your way to interact with objects by launching coins.

Theme: Clever take on the theme!

Graphics: Simple but effective and endearing.

Audio: I do not like the sound, and turned it off.

Humor: Funny, because of the bizarre take on the theme. Add to that the walking animation.

Mood: Fine, it's a humorous mood.

Okay I went into this game not expecting much because the screenshot and description were so simple but I was totally impressed!

This game is very creative. The interpretation on "Your Life is Currency" is hilarious and clever. There are so many creative mechanics woven through it too. Shooting your coins out, growing into a taller stack, jumping on bubbles from the machine. Brilliant! Loved it.

This was a really good idea. I like how the dynamics change when the stack gets larger. Though that could have been used more as a gamplay mechanic. Also why are couches enemies? :smile: Good job!

Addicting, had to play until I paid for that hat! :) Really nice concept and graphics. A suggestion: maybe make a coin stack burst into coins when falling from height, so you have to reassemble again? :)

Nice idea, quite unique... But the music was slightly annoying...

I really enjoyed this epic quest to buy that hat. I like the feel of the player as he grows in size. It was not initilally clear that i had to shoot at the bill to pay it, but once i figured that out I reallly started to enjoy everything. Very well done. I enjoyed the entire experiance.

A very clever and original mechanic, and an excellent interpretation of the theme. I like the idea that @datagreed suggests about when you fall from height - it would be a nice added touch to what is already a very well thought out entry.

This is one of the better nightmares I've played, and I mean that as a compliment. Accentuated a bit by the music that plays in the background. I really like the mechanic at play here and how having a taller stack of coins actually has a serious negative impact on things like platforming.

Amazingly, I still haven't beaten it (I screwed myself over a lot of times by overspending on the bill), but I like the web version enough that I definitely want to try to finish it later on. I downloaded the win copy and I'll try to beat it later!

The inclusion of a reset button is MUCH appreciated.

Really cool mechanic, becoming taller as you accumulate coins! Personally not a fan of using the up button as the jump button but that's a minor gripe from an otherwise really creative game.
