Great music

I am terrible at punching thieving kids. I enjoyed the absurd setting and doodle art style. For as badly as these kids want the coin out of my body... more often than not, they still choose to chase me even though i've thrown out tons of coins. Why do they want the ones still inside me so bad? ;/

Nice pun. Pretty straightforward gameplay, just wish I had faster walking speed!

egawag 2019-04-30 03:34

Super Charming! Nicely Done!

ryan-brenner 2019-04-30 03:39

@scalphamission Thank you! I had a lot of fun making it.

@youpeoples @rosypenguin Thank you for playing! I think I might have made the game a taaaad bit too difficult. But I also think it's really funny when you get completely surrounded and beaten by a circle of ~~children~~ adults.

@egawag Thank you so much! I'm not an artist but I'm really happy with how the graphics came out :smiley:

I agree with @rosypenguin, A bit more of speed and more damage to punches would help it feel more tight. I liked the art though! Well done !

dan-colman 2019-04-30 03:51

Great simple drawn graphics, love that style.

dannn 2019-04-30 04:11

I guess this is how it feels when you open a pack of cigarettes in prison! Love the graphics and had fun even though it's very hard to keep it together when enemies start comming in heaps. I think either the coins scatter too far when enemies die or the money bag is too slow!

ryan-brenner 2019-04-30 04:16

@rosypenguin @dannn Thank you for playing! More speed sounds like a good plan. This also helps to give me a better idea to control how far the coins fly and how fast the enemies start coming.

@dan-colman Thank you!

So cute! Love the style and how the theme was approached +.*($o$)/*.+

funny game and cute graph !!! too bad there is no high score to reach

arimie 2019-04-30 14:52

nice entry ! simple game but very good !

ryan-brenner 2019-04-30 15:03

@oku @angry-squirrels Thank you! Means a lot coming from both of you, as you both have wonderfully crafted games. Originally, the game was going to be score based, rather than having a win condition, but now I think that I should have just added both.

@arimie Thanks for playing!

10/10 fulfills my child-punching fantasies.

No really, it's a good premise and the graphics are great, wish the walk speed was a little faster though. Also there isn't much skill to punching, maybe a block button?

twowolf 2019-04-30 16:07

Fun game! I like the theme very much. The graphics felt good and natural, the music was upbeaty and fitting too. The only problem I had was that the hitbox seemed to feel a little off but that was just first glance. Overall nice game!

ryan-brenner 2019-04-30 16:35

@drearyplane8 Thanks for playing! I actually had blocking very early on but decided to remove it. If I were to work on the game some more, I would consider re-adding it, and maybe a parry system as well :thinking:

@twowolf Thanks so much!

The graphics are pretty cute and the gameplay is fun, but I find it too difficult once a lot of enemies start appearing, they surround you constantly (and throwing a coin, usually only distracts one), maybe a button for walking faster could make it easier.

z0rlog 2019-04-30 19:01

Fun game to play! Loved the music and mechanics, although I'd rather had an ability to speed myself up for money instead of throwing it away to attract mobs. Great job anyway!

jkazuk 2019-04-30 20:31

Great game. Graphics are adorable and the fighting gameplay is really fun (although pretty hard)

megan-kozun 2019-05-01 01:53

I thought it was a cute and funny game, only thing i'd say was a drawback was it was slightly to difficult. The punches didn't seem to do much damage

macs 2019-05-01 03:18

It would be five stars overall if you could move quicker/the difficulty didn't scale so quickly! The gameplay is simple but a really great idea, has a lot of potential, and the art and music fit well.

ryan-brenner 2019-05-01 05:18

@nayrahbbt @z0rlog @jkazuk @megan-kozun @macs

Thank you all so much for the feedback. It's greatly appreciated. Next time I will make sure to try to balance the difficulty better :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: Thanks for playing!

nigogo 2019-05-01 15:01

It's a nice game, graphics are great and audio is nice too. But it is hard! I couldn't beat it and the coin throwing mechanic didn't really work well for me. It took me a while to figure out that i could do a right-handed punch with the right mouse button and when I did it let to some awkward moments with me frantically right-clicking outside the canvas in the browser window :sweat_smile: But that's not your fault obviously.

I love the art style and with a little tweaking I think it could be even more fun! :)

Pretty fun, but there's an incredible difficulty curve. pretty hard to fight off eight or more people at once. I loved the art, and the dead bodies were a pretty great touch.

I really liek the punching mechanic! It makes this game stand out from the other arena shooters out there. The cute visuals help with this, too.

I also like how some enemies will pop up and go for the coins, instead of attacking you.

Simple game, but lots of interesting concepts here. The enemies can gang up on you very easily, however.

nathant 2019-05-04 19:50

This is a surprisingly tough game. Enjoyed having to fight up close while trying to work for coins. The mob can definitely be scary. Would have liked more reward for using left and right punches. Liked the clean art style and the idea of being a bag of money everyone wants to pile on.

hechi 2019-05-07 21:39

Great game, Punchs feels so painful with the screenshake and the sound :smile:

tamail 2019-05-11 15:16

Oh, this was impossible to play without mouse but that's none of your problems. :D I loved the game and the concept itself! As mentioned before, the punch felt really powerfull with the screenshake :D

rob-white 2019-05-19 15:15

A charming game - I loved the little people just running around to try and steal your money. It could have done with having the player collider be a bit smaller (it seemed too easy for the people to hit you). The punch felt strong when it hit but also, unfortunately a bit slow. Good job overall!
