Funny audio and some skill in getting the coins to land in the cart, fun take on the theme

That's really fun! πŸ˜„

Best audio of any game, hands down. Gave me a good laugh and actually quite fun. The coins bouncing back out was a nice touch.

Good humour, certainly had me smiling throughout at the game. Really liked that the coins were physics based as well, added an element of skill to bouncing the coins into the cart. Good work!

Played a couple runs, here's my best one:

Very funny game!

Great game! I liked the way the coins bounce and fly into the cart, as well as the multitasking, such as protection from falling flower pots or protection from flying tomatoes.

It took me three games to notice the manholes, they might be a bit too hidden :grimacing: Otherwise, very well balanced! I also like the fact that we have to make coins bounce in the cart.

Very interesting concept! I had to get the hang of the coin bouncing mechanc first but when I understood it the game became a very entertaining challenge :D

My favourite part was "Collections for the D E E D" xD

I was surprised on how to actually collect coins. I might need to do better to get more coins next time. My suggestion is to extend shift duration to 2 minutes at least but the difficulty starts from easy then gradually gets harder as time progresses.

Gameplay a bit confusing at the start but interesting!

torte478 2025-10-08 16:03

This is the good kind of crazy game! The audio design is beyond all praise. The physics are challenging, but that just makes it more fun.

Interesting concept! Gameplay-wise, it lacks some smoothness but it is a cool entry! I don't like to drag people to my game but I wanted to tell you that we also did a tax collector game :moneybag:

baluj 2025-10-08 17:56

Interesting idea

cogcomp 2025-10-08 18:53

Really loved your sense of humour even though the game mechanic itself was a bit hard to get used to.

adjo 2025-10-08 19:15

i wasn't quite sure how I was suppose to get the coins into the cart, a few went in though! audio is nice too.

ciphereo 2025-10-09 13:03

A very interesting game! The music is very pleasant to listen to, with a touch of light humor. Haha

nekowei 2025-10-09 14:36

Simple but very fun game! Never image this kind of way to do the theme. Good job!

leparlon 2025-10-09 18:46

Funny game! A lot happening all the time, which made it a really cool experience. It actually got pretty fun once I got the hang of it. The tomato could be a bit more opaque though, in the end it didn't feel necessary to defend against it. Nice job, had fun!

Intresting take on the tax collecting game. The coin physicst are little wonky but funny. There is quite a lot of small things going on so its little hard to follow everything thats visually happening. The starting title animation was awesome, noice voice acting too :D

naru 2025-10-09 20:37

Time to collect some taxes.

liquid 2025-10-10 05:03

Funny game with a unique atmosphere! The coins having physics is a great idea, and I love that you can bounce them into the cart with the shield.

jose-bonilla 2025-10-10 14:53

Nice game!!! Loved the idea and creative use of theme. Good compo submission!

jimbly 2025-10-10 22:31

My score (1 run): 14. I'm not a great tax collector, but at least I had no tomatoes in my face. It was fun trying to position the shield while still knocking on doors.

commanderstitch 2025-10-12 02:53

Got 21 coins. I liked the surprise horrible job medevial simulator. It was nice to try something so different. And it was pretty neat too. I liked beating on the doors for that money!

jvdwijk 2025-10-12 15:22

I couldn't get better than my first run: 17 coins. Quite an interesting game, sooo much was happening! It reminded me a lot of an old flash game, nice entry!

yvanor 2025-10-13 15:26

Got 16 ! The game looks very simple but there is actually so much mechanics that it become quickly complex, I've played it several times in order to get a good understanding of everything.

There is so much things happening at once, the only way to make it though is to be hard focused, and the minute pass in a blink of an eye !

So good job for this very fun game !

grid96 2025-10-13 21:52

nice game, but what do I need to do about the bumpy ride?

ellaris 2025-10-13 22:00

@grid96 as with everything, use your shield (point it down to close the manholes)

kazuren 2025-10-17 19:46

Cool game, found it very challenging! I love how simple the mechanic is but at the same time deep. Loved that it requires you to stay attentive and potentially position your shield in any direction.

ginger-kyoko 2025-10-20 20:34

Funny and quite easy game. I really had fun while playing it))
