I was bopping along to that music for some reason lol loved your game so much. I tried filling the whole area with dots bad idea, very fun if frustrating due to time limit which makes it fun.

paul59 2019-04-29 06:52

Haha yeah, you get points deducted for putting ink dots in the wrong place so it's easy to go bust straight away if you just draw randomly :D

purpledartfrog 2019-04-29 07:54

Funny concept :)

niteb 2019-04-29 08:41

The concept was very innovative!

attala 2019-04-29 08:42

Good game idea and implementation!

I walked away rating this game a lot higher than I first expected. The game is pretty hard to play, physically, but I probably just don't have the eyes for it hahaha, despite that fact there is actually some leeway and what surprised me most of all, lots of strategy. And there is a very intense feeling when you start to hear those sirens go off. It's difficult, but its a nice combination of strategy and execution.

What an interesting concept! I enjoyed playing this game and can now retire to my tropical island in peace.

furtive-pygmy 2019-04-29 08:52

Oh man, at least I know I won't be forging any notes anytime soon. Very original concept, and really well done!

memel06 2019-04-29 09:02

Very intense, it gives hearthbeat.

Pretty difficult but not too much, so it's challenging and fun.

I rated pretty well because everything is solid and in place, theme is fitting and the game is enjoyable.

paul59 2019-04-29 09:14

Thanks all for the kind words, much appreciated :D

grllle 2019-04-29 09:15

Nice one! And a hard one!

caspercaper17 2019-04-29 12:25

The game overall is really solid, good job!

daria-toni 2019-04-29 18:51

I still didn't understand how this game evaluates my skill, but it was fun :) Very original stuff and addictive melodies!

paul59 2019-04-29 19:12

@daria-toni You score 1,000 for every blob that's set in your copy and the original. You score -1,000 for any that is set in the original but not in the copy. Er, I think I've explained that correctly :D

borys 2019-04-29 21:35

Oh concept is soo unique, I didn't see something like that in other games in LD!

It's kinda frustrating to be not able to undo something, but I understand the idea.

Music is also nice and catchy. Good job!

kevin-palani 2019-04-30 01:26

Really nice concept, nice music

sroelandt 2019-05-01 10:08

Funny !

(It could be better if we can see the difference between our banknote and the real one :D)

Nice job ;)

hypp 2019-05-01 11:09

Great take on the theme and fitting music!

cheesepencil 2019-05-01 16:51

best original concept i've seen so far

mrnyarlathotep 2019-05-01 16:56

Its actually kind iof refreshing to find a more metaphorical take on the theme than a literal one after playing and rating a bunch of entries - this one is certainly unique.

If you wanted to continue with this post Jam, it might eb nice to have some UX tweaks - maybe some marking like photoshop grids to show things like the middle of the imge more easily?

lmb 2019-05-01 17:18

Cool, fun to play, especially with a drawing tablet :slight_smile: Loved your interpretation of the theme. Sound is very good. Graphics are simple but fitting to your idea. Nice job!

paul59 2019-05-01 18:23

Thanks friends. @mrnyarlathotep - yes, I've already made some small changes to the patterns generated to make it more interesting. Not sure about adding hints such as the middle of the grid, might make it too easy but I'll certainly think about it!

pablotitan 2019-05-01 19:35

It's a new idea, yet well polished :D Challenging, but cool game :D

mikelovesrobots 2019-05-01 20:03

Wow. That was pretty hard!

baby-dino-herd 2019-05-02 03:58

I really like your take on the "currency" theme. The music was funky and fresh -- a perfect complement to the grid structure of the game. The end screen music was fun too. Really enjoyable game. Nicely done!

lesinvisible 2019-05-02 11:13

Don't really think that this game has something to do with the ludum dare theme except your saying in the description. But I think that this is really interesting game in innovation department. Though you can often cheet the game by coloring every pixel in the copy. And overall game is far too easy I made it to the million in the first playthrough with no problems.

paul59 2019-05-02 16:21

@lesinvisible "Though you can often cheet the game by coloring every pixel in the copy" That's true, I've modified the logic slightly in my post-compo version. With regard to the theme, I'll go with the majority view.

fashionbatman 2019-05-02 17:17

I really love this concept, it's a great take on the theme. I really bad at it, but I love it.

sylvie 2019-05-02 20:08

Interesting concept. It was hard for me to make good copies of the ones with a lot of vertical lines.

sundancekid 2019-05-02 20:11

Really cool idea, nice game. Like someone before me said though, I could kind of cheat it by just coloring the entire copy to still make a profit. I really like the concept though, well done :)

kmazzio 2019-05-02 20:15

The music is nice! The concept is definitely way different than most games i've tested so far which is good. Overall a fun game

bustosman 2019-05-03 01:49

A very cool idea I haven't seen in a while I believe. I enjoyed the suspense I experienced every moment. Hard game!

paul59 2019-05-03 07:31

@sundancekid Yes, as I mentioned above, I've modified the post-compo game to stop cheating and I've added more features. I'll upload a revised version after the voting has finished.

shunaky 2019-05-03 10:32

Holy moly, this game is hard! Loved the Idea and it is a great concept just found one Issue: - The menu should work with the mouse too, as the entire games works with it, it's weird that the menu doesn't

Congrats on the game ^^

paul59 2019-05-03 11:01

@shunaky Yeah, didn't have time to fix up the menus for mouse control. Thanks for the review!

miu 2019-05-03 19:40

this game was hard but fair also yes I found it very innovative

khofez 2019-05-10 13:50

Nice and funny, a little hard but very good concept, GJ!

ithildin 2019-05-18 17:25

Concept is deceivingly simple, but worked great! Also, I think the connection to the theme is relatively clear AND clever.

Taming my own mouse for sketching the longer areas was quite challenging, and I got hooked until I made my million. The music is super catchy and helps you getting immersed in the role. The first time the police alarms came out my heart jumped a little :sweat_smile:

I really like the game and it has a lot of potential, glad to hear you're working on a post-compo version. I can easily imagine additional colours being added to the mix, so there might be degrees of error.

Awesome job!
