It seems, that the iptimal strategy is to respawn coins all the time, so coin holders tured out to be redundant
I think the pacing could be smoothed out a bit more as I felt like I was drowning in debt almost immediately! Also a little bit of feedback around _which_ coin your character will grab when nearby would go a long way.
It would be great to have speed upgrades and other improvements to make the gameplay smoother and more dynamic.
Overall, it’s fun, but adding a few more upgrades and refining the mechanics would really enhance the experience!
