totally not a dumb question! The money serves no purpose than to make another panel to get in your way. We had more plans for it, but since this game was made in a weekend for a jam we were unable to complete those mechanics.
We are considering continuing development, but have not made firm plans yet. We work full time jobs so its hard for us to make time on this right now. If you follow us we will be sure to post updates so you know when we continue working on it!
