This was a short fun game. I enjoyed your audio clips.

The player movement felt a bit stiff. The acceleration for the player was really slow.

Pretty Good

enemies were pretty odd to interact with and I agree the movement was stiff. The audio was great though!

I admit that I will have the sound "money money money" in the head all day ^^
Little game, but interesting...

The audio in this game is easily the best part. It's fantastic to have voice acting in a game jam game. The premise of the game is interesting, but the execution falls a bit flat since you can skip past all the buildings, grab the money and leave. There's an interesting idea here I would like to see more fleshed out.

Very funny, I love the sound effects. Not enough challenge and controls are a bit finicky, but I just can't get over those sfx

Wow those sound effects make the whole game. Getting a gigantic top hat was cool. You definitely show off the theme pretty well. The only thing I would say is that it is a bit too short/easy, but overall very fun.

OMG the sound effects were gold! Thanks for the good laugh. :laughing:

One thing to criticize is that the movement felt clunky. Otherwise this was great.

The movement is kinda janky, and some visual effects when you use a building would add a lot. But the sounds are hilarious and the overall concept is fun. Nicely done!

The movement is a little strange but I really got a kick out of the vibe and the audio. Making your top hat grow in height with your money is quite a strange idea but I definitely enjoyed that. Great job!
