You are money. You want to be $10 in the end of 5 days.

Special Thanks to @DarrenPang-95 and @Gavin-Chin for helping with the idea.

Mechanics

Day/Night cycle - Day lasts 15 seconds. Night lasts 5 seconds. Night triggers money gain from Forex/Bank and Wallet.

Life Changers - Split yourself into smaller pieces or become a greater note again.

Beggar - Donate a piece of yourself. Cannot be used if no other notes/coins.

Economy - Changes every 6 seconds. Next economy state will have 1/5 chance of being the same economy again. Cannot be used if no other notes/coins.

Forex - Invest a piece of yourself to get double, nothing, or no changes depending on economy state at night. Cannot be used if no other notes/coins.

ATM - Invest a piece of yourself to get 1.5x invested. Cannot be used if no other notes/coins.

Wallet - 5% chance to swoop in for every piece of change you have.

Vending Machine - Goal of the game. Must have exactly $10 to use.

It's a bit upsetting that the file is marked as Mac, but doesn't have the app. I would highly suggest either adding a Mac version, or stop saying that it is supported.

Little bit confusing at first, but after I figured it out I had a great time. Fun twist on the given theme.

There are machines that give you money but you have to wait until it's night to get the money.

First it's little bit unclear, but it clears out quickly.

I like it. Being literally currency is cool, and it's an interesting idea. Graphics were pretty good.

@lyghtningwither You can split yourself into smaller notes at the life changer. If you do, you can spend yourself at everywhere else. (You cannot use machines that spend you that isn't the goal if you don't have other notes/coins)

I like the graphics and sound track but I couldn't figure out how to play. I did get up to 6.50 I think but I just don't understand what I'm supposed to do.

@killedbyapixel You're supposed to put $10.00 into the vending machine on day 5.

Interesting Idea, but the game is a little bit confusing to understand how to play or what to do.

But when you get the grip of it it's fun to play.

Oh, and the sound effects are waaaaay to loud. I jumpscared when that thing came and stole my coin, I believe.

I guess I played it right? Nice work, and interesting idea. Pretty unique as far as concept goes. When you pause the game and go back to the main menu there is a "Row Row Row Your Boat" effect with the music.

A very miniature version of currency investment but just to buy a drink that costs $10 within 5-day time. Quick, fun and interesting to play, albeit the initial confusion over the gameplay, but after several tries I can quite get the ingenuity of it as a great concept. Great work!
