-Pressed start -Tried to avoid particles -Noticed int's not the particles I should avoid -Noticed the hair sway animation, chuckled -Noticed I had a gun and men with gun are floating up -Tried to go back to the description to see if I missed a control -Died This is very fun, there are improvements to be made but great for a game jam, love the music and animations. 5/7 would play again
I got 26, and then died. The movement left and right is very slow but I eventually adapted to that.
The graphics and music are great!
Nice music and crisp pixel art :D loading was smooth for me on itch.io using firefox, fyi !
love the reference of the classic balloon fight... but i love more the music: chorando se foi quem um dia só me fez chorar
Funny ! Earned amount is in dollars ? millions of dollars ? ... or cents ?
The chiptune music got me rolling! GL!
Oh, fun game! I also thought at first that you have to dodge particles and that you can shoot with a gun :) Would be a cool addition to the mechanics by the way!
@bismark Good old gold. Maybe we’ll be using it again soon enough 😄
@duckmaniac I was planning to add it - just didn’t have the time. I’ll likely include it in the post-jam version.
@batthecat Heck yeah, amigo! 😄
baloon fight with trump is hilarious :laughing: the music is exquisite
interesting game concept but i expected to use the guns :D
@neowhoru Yeah, that was the plan — just didn’t have enough time to get it in.
Cute little game, even if it's not that deep, I wanted to pop the other's balloons though :sweat_smile:. Lambada music made me smile.
Very funny game, beautiful art, thank you, it was fun
Interesting game...
Wonderful art style, game-play was solid for what it is, although would have liked some additional mechanic mayhaps, solid work!
Hehe I always have a hard time making the games work directly in the LD website, thanks god that you added also a ich io entry.
Haha by reading the description I knew what I would encounter but the starting music made me laugh xD
I hope that the global economy doesn't end like this:

Also interesting choice of tech I've never seen this pyxel library/engine I'll investigate it.
Good entry!
The chiptune music was great, but I noticed it was all choppy in fullscreen for some reason - probably the engine's fault, given it had more browser issues! Overall good fun, but I seemed to have a gun and no button worked to shoot (I mashed all my keyboard buttons and only managed to turn the music off), and I'm not sure how it fits the theme outside of going down to the depths of recession... Alright, I guess that fits :)
Why people don't post their scores? Mine is 156 and i think it's HUGE, probably the best score. Main character looks familiar, remind me of that actor with small role in a home alone 2. Probably just a coincidence.
This is the best game ever. It’s tremendous. Absolutely tremendous. I asked one of my friends, great guy by the way, and he said that he never seen game that good in his whole career. And everyone in the room agrees. Everyone in the whole country. Believe me. The sacks of money? Beautiful. The best sacks. They're HUGE, folks. Really big. And the graphics? Let me tell you, they’re fantastic. The best graphics. I mean, look at those money floating around! And you play as a handsome guy with beautiful balloons. Most handsome guy with the most beautiful balloons. Do yourself a favor play Money Maker 2025. Play it. Win! Be a champion! It’s going to be HUGE. Believe me. Снимок экрана 2025-04-18 в 15.05.59.png
@mod-wiz Ha-ha-ha, nice one! I confirm that everything you said is 100% correct.
at first i thought i had to doge the embers :face_palm: i love the style and audio, but i cant get more than like 32 ToT haha great game!
Man, I don't even want to get into the chaos this game is parodying, but it's a very well made game. Very impressive work!
