Creating a website for your game was a great idea. I the like the systems in place and it is enjoyable to make money and then build my own collection of money. While I like the minigame where you check the money to see if it is real or fake, the problem is that the game is easily cheesable by just spamming the true button. I think you need some mechanic to stop players from doing this, beyond that great job!

Didnt quite understand it

Spammed "Real" a bunch of times then bought a different currency?

Thanks for the feedback so far!

@wrimo I'm glad to hear that you liked it. I was worried how a website-based game would stand up against other web games using established game engines, so it's good to hear that at least one person out there didn't mind.

@jofersgames I don't blame you for finding it confusing; I didn't have time to develop the in-game explanation and on-boarding process as well as I could have.

As both of you pointed out, I completely overlooked to add a penalty for players who deliberately did not play by the rules. I will make sure to keep that in mind and more thoroughly cover all bases in future games.

Once again, thanks for your comments.

Interesting game, but the main game seems the Anti-counterfeit part? The 'selling' of bill does not seem to be in? There should be a negative effect for picking the wrong choice in the counterfeit program tho, now it is too easy to just pick one a lot. :) Sound effects would also have helped a bit with getting into the mood.

Interesting game. I enjoyed looking at the real or fake bills, exploring the different artwork. After a while though, this job got quite repetitive, and I started spamming the buttons, since there was no penalty for chosing the wrong option.

The prices of the different bills seemed too random, sometimes a H5 was more expensive than a H100 bill. I completed my collection, and expected some kind of winning condition.

Congrats on your game!
