Well I enjoyed that! Nice idea, good graphics and fitting sound. The only thing that threw me is that it's possible to launch your last coin and thereby end the game - maybe the last coin should be unthrowable?

I like the idea of throwing coins so that you can fit through tight spaces and such. Nice little game, managed to pay off my hat :)

Really fun game! Good take on the theme as well. I think if you had more thought out puzzles in your level the game would be 5/5 for me.

Really enjoyed this game. Love the character artwork and also thought the bubble machine artwork was great.

Pretty fun and such a good use of the theme! :) Well done! Loved the height change mechanic

Overall: Fun and funny.

Fun: Fun idea with a good bit of puzzle-platforming. The ability to easily reset is good. (If the game were much longer, then I wouldn't want to reset the whole thing every time I screw myself over - I suppose the game would have to be served in levels.)

Innovation: Certainly! I particularly like the clever way the coins deliver three different gameplay mechanics: the goal, the height changes that impose movement constraints, and your way to interact with objects by launching coins.

Theme: Clever take on the theme!

Graphics: Simple but effective and endearing.

Audio: I do not like the sound, and turned it off.

Humor: Funny, because of the bizarre take on the theme. Add to that the walking animation.

Mood: Fine, it's a humorous mood.

Okay I went into this game not expecting much because the screenshot and description were so simple but I was totally impressed!

This game is very creative. The interpretation on "Your Life is Currency" is hilarious and clever. There are so many creative mechanics woven through it too. Shooting your coins out, growing into a taller stack, jumping on bubbles from the machine. Brilliant! Loved it.

This was a really good idea. I like how the dynamics change when the stack gets larger. Though that could have been used more as a gamplay mechanic. Also why are couches enemies? :smile:
Good job!
