Tired of losing your hard-earned, sweet savings to greedy banks? Claim all of it back today, with some sweet interest on top, in The Most Awesome Online Banking Game ever created!

Arm yourself with the last coins you saved in your piggy bank and go to your nearest, greediest bank branch. Convince the employees of your right to claim by shooting them with your golden ammunition.

Watch out not to lose your last coins as well though. Shooting and being shot both require small to medium investments, but shooting may have big on-hit profits.

You can find a short briefing on financial investment strategies below.

Objective
---------
Become the richest.

Controls
--------
Push buttons.

Objective (details)
-------------------
Pick up as much sweet money as you can by walking over it. Only coins that are on the ground are sweet.

When you shoot the others with your coins, they will lose some of theirs which you can try to pick up.

They are shooting you too, so be careful when you walk in with your last savings.

Do not attempt to pick up hot money, it will hurt you and your wallet. Hot money looks hot and flies around at crazy speeds.

All money gets sweet eventually, also hot money.

Controls (details)
------------------
Use the arrow keys, or WASD (ZQSD) to move.

Use the mouse to turn around.

Left-click to throw coins.

Interface
---------
On the top right you see a countdown timer.

On the top left you can see your rank (You are "Player").

Try to be on top of the ranking by the end of the countdown.

I would suggest playing the game on "very low" or "low" quality when you start the game in Unity.
This removes some unwanted shadows on objects and walls.

I enjoyed the idea, very nice job for this Ludum Dare!
Sounds could be more enjoyable if the volume is a bit lower ..

But keep the good work :v:

It's hard! But also pretty cool. Love the coin effects. For some reason the intro made me think of Roy in IT Crowd.

Great concept! I suck at investing though and die every time... :cry:

Lucas Kauff30 Apr 2019, 12:53

Loved picking up massive amounts of coins, fun game

MrsTari30 Apr 2019, 17:37

it's a great game :laughing: the Sound is funny :smile:

I really liked the game. Maybe I got a lucky start but I though it was maybe a little bit to easy, I never felt like I was close to dying. Although that isn't necessarily a bad thing, the music also made it feel like a fun game just because. Reallty satisfying to pickup huge number of coins. I think the game map could've goten some more polish. It is quite small and there were some places that I was annoyed I couldn't fit through. I also think that the player movement could've been a little bit more "juicy" as it is really important in a game like this where I would say maybe 40-60% of the game is moving around. Overall good game, well done! (I also know that everytime there's something that you want to polish or add but don't have time. But then next time, you'll be quicker at making the things you did now and you'll have more time over to do more things, which will get rushed, and better next time and so on! Great game, you should be proud of it!

Fun game. Always nice to hear voice acting and the graphics are good.

h.m.murdock30 Apr 2019, 19:25

@logflames
We tried, but failed to load in the animations of the character, which was a shame in the end.
We had some issues with blending the walking and shooting animation together, so we left it out and focused on finishing some other feature.
Thanks for the comment tho ;)

Pretty good game. It brings a smile :D

I didn't get it the first few times, kept going bankrupt. Hid for a bit and looted some coinage and then got my head around it. Was really fun. Had a bit with loads of them near the vault and the coins were everywhere haha. I kept losing my cursor in the mayhem but other than that I had a good time. Great effort!

I had a lot of fun while playing it but there is one thing make me very sad. :(
WHY I CAN NOT PICK GOLDS THAT SPAWNED OVER OBJECTS. There was so much money on objects.. :'( :'(

Pedro137BR1 May 2019, 15:44

i had a lot of fun playing it, the only thing that annoyed me was that you begin with to very little money, so its hard on the beggining

Thenerdster2 May 2019, 04:49

I died over and over but enjoyed this one! Great sound and great mood. Graphics were pretty good to. Congrats on a solid entry :D

Mika la Grand2 May 2019, 16:24

No idea how to actually win, you shoot and then you die because you don't have any coins. The intro movie was pretty funny. Maybe make it so that you can survive for 5-10 seconds with zero coins, so that the player has somewhat of a chance to kill a couple of enemies.

gredgie2 May 2019, 22:00

This was great, it did feel rather risky at the start, but then you gang up on some unsuspecting banker and things start getting interesting. Picking up coins is oddly addictive, which can only mean I was fully immersed in this coin hurling world.

Emperor Eagle2 May 2019, 22:18

I guess your life is literally currency. Really fun game but it took me time to realise that I should play a bit more conservatively at the start. I enjoyed it! Good map and a very consistent theme throughout the entire game!

icxon3 May 2019, 03:16

Awesome deathmatch game, had a good laugh playing it. I'd prefer to see my coins highlighted somehow for 1 second or two just to correct trajectory (green/golden glow or a trail). And may be some sort of pumping up the shooting force by holding lmb for rare sniper shots :smiley:

Here is my attempt:

@mika-la-grand
Since you start almost broke, it helps if you pick up some coins first from others.
So keep safe in the beginning, collect some gold and you will be able to spam later on :D

nayrutesK3 May 2019, 20:15

One of funniest games I've played so far :)

BoxedMeatRevolution3 May 2019, 21:53

Great game! There are loads of games this LD that cause you to "lose money when you shoot", but I think this one does it best. You're actually shooting money so it makes sense! It was incredibly gratifying to see all the money go flying with "cha-chings" when people got hit. Great entry :smile:

Pierre Cudennec4 May 2019, 00:02

Great game. wish there was a death match option

NathanT4 May 2019, 20:55

This would make an interesting multiplayer game. Enjoyed the massive amount of loot to grab and the pinata effect. A little difficult to tell which coins were attacking me versus pickups. Also a couple of areas that looked accessible but the player didn't fit. Had some great moments of ambushing the AI and running off with the cash. The picture in picture intro was a nice touch too.

CaptainDreamcast4 May 2019, 23:39

Made it to victory! My triple A strategy was to hide behind the potted plant and shoot at whoever came by and swipe their coins.

Very intense gameplay, super appealing visually too with all the coins flying around! I loved the intro cutscene too, the voice acting was fun. Had a superb time playing this, great job!

PopDaddyGames5 May 2019, 21:57

I love the coins. This is a laugh fest- amazing job!

Elemental Zeal Game Studios6 May 2019, 01:57

I liked the graphics. Well done. :)

Cubicode6 May 2019, 06:14

I like the game as it is funny and looks good. Also the theme was met well.

At the beginning I was bankrupt very fast, but after a while I figured out how I should play and then it was fun.

Maybe a tutorial level would have helped.
