It's cute and a great idea for the theme! I think that an overhead camera would've worked better as I quite often got shot from behind and didn't know what was hitting me. I like the little tutorial area, it really helps introduce you rather than throwing you in.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"tinykidtoo","author_uid":1001256,"time":"2019-04-30T06:47:19Z","epoch":1556606839,"modified":1556606839,"text":"I had a lot of fun with this.  I got all the way to a dollar.  At that level it was madness with all of the coins flying and shots being fired, a near constant stream.  I wonder what this would be like with more obstacles to maneuver around.  I was able to get some serious height, getting back to the original shelf.

Here's my notes:\n\n- I wish it had music.\n- The shoot sound effect got pretty repetitive, pretty quickly.\n- The movement feels a bit slow.\n\nBut overall, damn, such a creative take on it, and it was done really well!

That's creative. It'd be cool if you could change the force of the jump though.\n\nIncreasing your currency value and changing coins was also neat.\n\nI felt like I had to fight against the camera though; it was sluggish. The sound effects were also pretty loud; does their volume account for distance to the camera? It's hard to tell.\n\nIf you wanted to expand the characters further, you could switch to Canadian currency. Canada has $1 and $2 coins.\n\nOverall, good job!","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"EstuvoMuyBien","author_uid":1077928,"time":"2019-05-02T02:56:05Z","epoch":1556765765,"modified":1556765765,"text":"Hilarious! Great for theme and easy to play. Really enjoyed getting the 50c coin so I could clip outside the map. Interesting balancing the movement with aiming all your shots, adding that small factor of skill.

I made it up to John Quarter (30 cents).  The flipping was really well done and felt authentic.  It seemed like the best strategy for me was to keep flipping and shooting, otherwise you will start having too many coins gang up on you.  I liked the piggy bank at the beginning, and was hoping that somehow it was more involved with the game.","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"MoldyMagnet","author_uid":1153928,"time":"2019-05-02T03:40:32Z","epoch":1556768432,"modified":1556768432,"text":"Would have been nice to have music or to at least vary the pitch of sound effects.\nPretty neat game though, it had me guessing for a second if it was multi-player :)","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"AfroAnt","author_uid":"1003671","time":"2019-05-02T04:57:59Z","epoch":1556773079,"modified":1556773079,"text":"Had more fun with this than I'd like to admit.

I really like the play on words.\n\nI did have some difficulties with the camera, but that's to be expected with all the jumping around. I frequently felt it pointed the exact opposite direction I wanted, but that may have been because I was trying to hide with my back to a corner. I made it up to almost $2 with that tactic.\n\nThe increased jump was an interesting feature, but it got a bit out of hand at the half-dollar level. It was so extreme, it made it difficult to go anywhere specific. The half-dollar also started to show issues with the shot sound effect, as it gets repeated so much it starts to become a vague background drone.","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Balance686","author_uid":"1073177","time":"2019-05-06T04:32:25Z","epoch":1557117145,"modified":1557117145,"text":"Interesting idea! I can't recall playing a game like this before so that's always refreshing. I enjoyed the jumping and shooting mechanics. Jumping up over another coin and raining down on it is pretty satisfying haha. I think having the camera rotate with A and D would probably work better because I found using the mouse a bit off. Also that shoot sound effect rapidly triggering over and over was a bit grating. Good job on this I had fun!","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"luckyDaisy","author_uid":1104771,"time":"2019-05-06T05:17:55Z","epoch":1557119875,"modified":1557119875,"text":"Really like the minimal movement controls.

Fun for a bit. Camera was just awful for me. The worst was when I'd get near a wall, because then the camera won't do much but stare at the wall with my back to the enemies. I got to 50 cents, whereupon the chaos, the high jumps, and the repetitive noise was just too much to take.
