Love the simple art style - especially the little square guy with the tie, and the particle effects when you grab pickups. The incremental level design is a very cool touch, and quite a unique approach to the theme.

The controls are a bit floaty, which took a lot of getting used to, especially the lack of deceleration when you're in the air, and the music got grating very quickly. Good effort making the track yourself (I see Bosca Ceoil in your list of software there!), but even adding a second section to contrast the first would massively improve the listenability.

Pros: Simple gameplay, Really good use of there & back
Cons: Not enough collectables, Ghost(bill?) camping spawn :(

Suggestions(One for each category that would of taken it to the next star):
Don't let enemies camp spawn
Show lock/key mechanism (currently "key" is hidden?)
2nd music track (complete / main menu seperate)
Border non-solid color
Non-required collectables

Thank you very much for the feedback.

It's my first time so I tried to be straight forward as possible to I only presented few elements in the game.

Just finished playing your game! Congratulations on finishing! The game is a bit difficult and I couldn't get past cash #4. However, I did like the idea adding something new every time you collect a dollar, seemed very fitting. I think the game is a bit too difficult off the start and I wish I could have played it a bit more, but I got stuck. Either way, great submission.
