The controls and feel of the game are good. The sound effects and music are a highlight! It took some time to realize that watering the trees helps. The game is a tad hard perhaps, but the idea is innovative and overall execution is good.

Its fine but not addicting and the soud effects are annoyin gin my oppinon

Great music, nice controls and interactivity with objects, graphics.
- When you open the menu during the game, and click on the area outside the window or press the space bar, the menu window closes, and then when you press the space bar during the game, it is called again.

Neat game! It took me a moment to figure out that the way to get lower denominations was to get money right after it spawns; at first I thought the money on the trees randomly cycled through denominations over time, rather than 'maturing' into higher values.

I feel like there's mechanical depth in the double jump + dash mechanics that I didn't manage to get my head around. I'd love to poke at this later and get a higher score - I managed 525 once I figured out the monetary lifecycle.

And people say that _money don't grow on trees..._ :)
Very original idea for a game :) I like it. For me it's a bit too difficult but I'm not a platformer guy. I like the art style and audio.

Quick math, platforming challenges, and money-tree management is certainly a new combination of game mechanics! I enjoyed figuring out how the money growing system worked and then trying to optimize my time between harvesting trees at the right times and going up to give money.

Great idea, controlling a guy living inside an ATM machine and serving people money harvested on trees. Platforming and simple math combined well.

Giving exact change was a silly challenge and it had me scrambling to grow correct bills. Such a clever idea of the man behind the ATM machine. So creative!

Took me too long to figure out that bill value changed with time, game made much more sense after that

Nice game, the setting is funny & the game is fun to play. I didnt understood that value of bill increased with time on the tree, but after that it was fine.

Nice entry!

Good game! I had fun playing it and I found the "I need money" sounds hilarious. My only feedback is maybe that the movement is a bit slippery, that or that the level is very compact. But that could also add to the challenge. Overall really solid entry!

I lol'ed at the concept. This guy has a terrible job! The stage can be a bit challenging to navigate

Seems there's sometimes a bug in the display of how many I'm carrying of a bill:

Game idea is funny. I like movement, it feels great, but level design feels boring and doesn't fit the core gameplay loop. Also, sometimes I can't give required money even though I have them. Anyway, good job for the jam.

Rocktavious15 Jan 2023, 18:51

The game idea is funny but the platforming is way too hard. Also I expected things to change in the level to keep me on my toes but because nothing changes (at least in my play through - i only got 1 guy with money) because the platforming was way to hard to get back up i lost interest quick.

The music was great - it reminded me alot of the old school sim farm games.
The SFX was also good - especially for the interactions with the different platforming challenge things.

I think having a level that either would change or that you can change would go along way to making the game keep your attention.

Platforming mechanics was a bit hard for me, but I liked the art and gameplay. Also sounds were cool. Good job mate! Also if you like to shred some zombies with your tractor, be sure to check out my entry too :)

Love the amount of polish, was a bit hard at first but became really fun when i understood what to do!

Underlig24 Jan 2023, 04:15

Fun game, polished in the sense its complete, everything works great, controls, platforming, interaction, design, and gameplay loop all working great.
It feels like its ready for adding more complexity and purpose, like a finished game foundation.
Great job =)

Very nice! I love the graphics. Jumping around is very fun.

Took me a while to figure out how to grow money, but I think I got the hang of it.

The various NPCs are cool.
