The Game

Robbing a bank isn't easy, especially if the coins are so heavy that you can physically experience the weight in form of some tricky gameplay hurdles. But don't worry you can throw coins to defend yourself and loose weight.

Expect a mix of tactical stealth exploration and intensive coin shooting action.

Tips

You can shoot over tables and through windows.

Shooting coins out of the bank is legitimate ;)

Without coins you are invisible (if the alarm is off).

Good graphics. I really liked the mechanics for the ammo, the shooting and multiple shooting, specially the fact that you can recover your coins. My problem is that I didn't understand what I had to do and I didn't like that I couldn't kill (or KO) the enemies.

Great game, graphics, music and gameplay all worked really well. Sneaking around watching the guards. Had fun playing.

Cool! Good use of the theme, nice graphics and the music is really awesome. Stealth gameplay was pretty solid, though it seemed like the guards' line of sight range was really long, so it was really difficult to do anything without being seen - basically all runs ended with all the guards chasing me out the front door. A bit more feedback on when they were attacking you would have helped too, that was a bit ambiguous. Still pretty fun, with some gameplay tweaks and new levels this would be really great. Nice work!

Haha loved the idea of breaking into a building and stealing coins only to shoot them at others on your way out :P
Nice graphics and gameplay is well done too! Great work!

Awesome looking game, plays well. Main problem is that I don't really see any way to actually escape the security guards? Like, you're basically guaranteed to have to run into them in order to escape.

Awesome music! Gameplay is cool (I liked trying to sneak on the guards and throwing them coins :P) and it fits the theme!

Good job guys! Keep up the great work! :)

Character controller was decent, if I were you I'd make the camera quadratic or logarithmic so it feels smoother. I would also recommend making each username a unique key in the database and cache by that rather than ID so someone can't hog all the top 20 scores. Fun experience, good use of theme.

Great game! The audio and alarm effect were on point to give the game a intense feeling.

I only felt that the guards themselves were quite underwhelming. They have ninja senses to detect you, but I don't think I was ever attacked? I only threw a few coins at them, and ran towards the exit with them in tow, not feeling endangered at all. Also, the coins weren't heavy enough to be a huge liability.

I escaped with 45 coins, but I'm sure I could have taken more if I kept playing!
