1. What did you learn about financial literacy?

Honestly not much, but I used some of the Schoolhouse Rock songs to inspire 'Cash Cow', which teaches budgeting, specifically their song "$7.50 once a week".  But other than that It was just hard coming up with how to implement the ideas in the time frame that I had.

2. How did you apply what you learned to your game? 

I decided to teach by having characters represent budgeting Ideas, like a snake of guys called "Mr. Conveniences" that chasees the player around, representing the lazy tax people pay when they don't want to look around for a better deal.

3. What challenges did you face in making it work? 

I only learned about the jam 5 days before the deadline so mostly it was just getting it to work on time, especially considering I put in an online multiplayer mode.  I think it was worth it, but there are definitely quite a few bugs and quality of life things I would fix if It were to ever go anywhere.

The experience was certainly interesting, It felt very surreal playing.

Personally the questions were a bit difficult but it's a solid game.  Also, the click sfx you used was immensely satisfying, I couldn't stop clicking the coins lol

Very good clicker.  Well made

FINALLY submitted my game:  CASH COW!
Both Singleplayer and online multiplayer:  Cash Cow by squidchip

I literally started like 2 days ago but here's a screenshot of my game:  Cash Cow.
It's a game where you shoot your money at bubbles to pop them, and manage your budget to buy Power-ups that grant more money in the forms of stocks, bonds, CDs, and Loans.  It's also online multiplayer.

Is an online multiplayer mode for our game allowed, so long as there is no in-game chat and it follows all other rules?  Also, do we legally own what we submit if it is posted to Coolmathgames?

This game is actually annoying in the most entertaining way possible and I love it

11 shredded papers, 13 shredder jams, 0 folders.  I'm on a roll!

"Die again" brutal 🥀

I feel like everyone's first reaction was to trap a guy in the bumpers for eternity, listening to his deafening screams as though it were a pleasant symphony

Oh wow, this is... I accidentally killed multiple people on purpose

I hate clicker games and even I enjoyed this one.  Chef's kiss.

I feel like this game would be amazing, but unfortunately I cannot get past level 1 since I am playing with a trackpad.  Crazy level of polish though, I will say.  The only thing I can complain about is the wall jump, which I can't seem to get, but other than that it's pretty good.

The pixel art is phenomenal, but I had a rough time figuring out what to do, even after reading the description.  It seems like a really interesting concept, but I just didn't know what direction to go or how to complete the game.

I love the theming and the enemies and the music, but the performance is the biggest issue I run into.  I mean this with love, but playing this game feels like one of those fever dreams where you play a bootleg mario that runs at 5 frames per second.  I also ran into a few other bugs, like the spells not casting properly, but overall, it's solid.  I like this game, it has an unexplainable charm to it.

This one caught me off guard, I liked the creativity of it, it's like a stealth dating sim

The gameplay is simple, but it works.  Personally, the controls were a bit too floaty for me, but then again the game is in space.  And the music is perfect btw!

I LOVED this one - Favorite bit was seeing a crapton of enemies and just sliding my hand across the number keys like a piano and going ham.  Only bit I can criticize is the rooms - everything kind of looks the same, so it's easy to get lost and run out of time once you defeat all the enemies.

Game is fun, though I was at a disadvantage playing with trackpad.  Art is good, death is hilarious!  Kind of hard to see the wizard spells against the sun glare, but other than that, I liked it!

I love it
