Best name so far! Lovely pixel art graphics and cute music :-) I love that you play a bag of cash, that just makes no sense, brilliant!

Love the tying of the theme and mechanics. Love the main character design and sprites. Controls are pretty tight and the game is overall fun

Here's what I think needs improvement:
* Tweaking a little with the numbers could go long ways in making the game more fun. I would suggest decreasing shot cost and increasing starting health to allow the player more breahting room in the beginning (what happens now is that the game is hardest at the very start when you only have 3 lives)
* Having money spawn randomly without enemies having to die is another easy tweak that could go miles in making the game more fun. The way it is now the player sometimes is too low on health to kill any enemy and has to just wait for their death
* Adding more visual tweaks like particles would also be really benefitial. This talk shows what I mean:
