Solid Game. The music and sound were nice. Grahpics are in pixelart, which I really like! But for 3 Days to short. Good Job and keep going! ps. to control the player is really hard ^^.

This is the best game I have played so far.

It's really great! Art, music, gameplay. Nice job!

I think the game is too hard. You can do your best and never survive.

Had issues starting and lack of real instruction as the buttons that screen stated were not working cool graphics though.

Really liked this one. A little difficult to control on the keyboard, and I would have liked the buttons swapped over (but that's personal preference). I can imagine it'd be much better with gamepad and full screen... but I can't fault the game really. Solid gameplay, lovely artwork. Good job!

@frog5tar Yeah, we displayed the TIC-80 buttons and not only the keyboard keys. It causes a lot of confusion, we should have only display the keyboard keys. Thanks for playing :)

A funny and interesting preview of a future where medical institutions accept multiple cryptocurrencies as payment.

controls feels fast at the begning but its great when playing it again. Nice tic80 game ;)

Good job, controls and art feeld very polished. This game coul definitely use some music to accompany the sound effects :) I liked the gameplay loop as well, but I think death comes much too fast. I think some kind of level- or wave system with a ramped difficulty curve would've benefited the gameplay. As a player, there is little accomplishment running around the level with death as a inevitability. Other than that, solid entry :)

Really clever use of the theme here! Collecting coins is such a simple mechanic, but the conversion rates really make it more interesting.

@duke Thanks! Death comes a bit too fast, I agree. We tuned it after playing it many times and it's a bit too difficult. If we had more time we would have add a soundtrack and other levels: once you're alive for a minute, then you go to the next stage. As it stands, it's an arcade game that is good for a minute or two. Thanks for playing :)

Took me a few moments to get those controls into my hand, but it worked out well. Really nice idea how to implement theme and turn it into an original idea. Great job! Feels really good and refreshing, also can create quite stressful moments while low with your life :)

Theme made game, good job :) Missing bacgroud music of some sort, but other sounds are good :)

Nice polished little game! I like that the difficulty increases fast, but maybe too fast? The coins multiplier were the key for making this an original game, well done, simple but effective. Congratulations!

addictive gameplay served by sharpened controls, good job !

I really like the concept of market values changing, I survived 1 min 14 !

This game is super fun - but wow, it's hard! Love a good challenge and dig the retro aesthetic as well :-)
