Mr Moneybag

Read This First

a little rogue-like about being a bag of money in a hostile dungeon

collect coins, shoot coins at shopkeepers to buy upgrades, and stay away from reds or shoot coins at them to kill them. you can stand next to shopkeepers to see what they're selling and how many coins it'll cost you. you can even shoot coins at walls to destroy them, but every coin you shoot is one less coin in your bag, so use them sparingly!

reds move after every second step you take, and if you end up next to a red when it's about to move, you lose a coin. if you get hit and have no coins, you're dead, game over!

step on the staircase to go down to the next floor of the dungeon. as you go deeper, enemies get tougher and more common, and shopkeeper prices go up

how many gems can you buy before you die?

also there's no audio, sorry

About The Game

made in about 15 hours using Gamemaker Studio 1.4 and Aseprite. the colour palette is the beautiful Master Palette by Fleja. the (very basic) pathfinding script and a few helper scripts were taken from Death of a Lich, but everything else was written from scratch including the dungeon generation (which uses a corridor-and-rectangular-room approach)

I really enjoyed making Mr Moneybag and I hope you enjoy playing it!

BUILD VERSIONS

BUG FIXES
