Very nice. Also great art style and animations (except for the villain, it could use some more I'd say).

This game ticks all the boxes, it's extremely polished. And you included the goat as well, nice one with that. I kept on smirking at the horrific jokes Robin kept on making.

Good game! Good puns! Vacuuming money is always a win! Cool you could get to work sfxr with flash, we had difficulties with that.

I really like the theme of playing a bankster :) Too bad it's too repetitive, but for a 26h entry even with 2 dev, it's good word !

This was a cute little game. Well polished, with nice graphics and sounds, and no noticeable bugs. I liked it a lot.

It would be cool if there was some sort of progression - maybe updates or some way to recover life, etc.

Hehe. I managed to get to $53 after a couple of tries. It was a little bit hard to avoid the things people throw at you, and without more health you have to be real careful.

Either way, the game looks awesome and the background music and sound effects are a nice addition. The gameplay is simple but feels quite polished and most importantly, it is fun.

I really like the idea. I also quite appreciate the humor, both the inherent humor of the idea itself, but also in the speech bubbles from the character and such. Great job!

Easy to learn, hard to master. Really good execution of the theme with a fun and enticing presentation!

It was fun to rob those people of their cash, but I feel like you should also be trying to nab those wallets for bonus monies, but instead they just hurt you which feels wrong. I can understand the suitcases, phones, and lattes but the wallets? I wanna rob them blind haha

Great work!
