Very creative. And it really works, exchange rates affect the game quite a lot and it's hard to win without planning ahead. AI doesn't seem to care much about their exchange rate, that's why it was relatively easy to win. But other than that, AI is on a really high level, interesting to compete with. So in terms of gameplay features and theme you definitely deserve the top mark. Graphics and audio seemed a bit too minimalistic and prototype-ish, but sufficient to enjoy the great gameplay. The main thing is that the game is complete and the concept is awesome. I would definitely like to see how you develop it further.

This strength is visualized in a line chart as follows.\n\n![currency_strength.png](\/\/\/raw\/cd5\/32\/z\/226f5.png)\n\nThe strength of a currency constantly varies between the values 0 and 100 and directly impacts the prowess of your player character in the arena.\n\n### Game Mechanics\n\nYou and other currencies move around in an arena, firing bullets and dodging enemy projectiles. Besides regular movement, you can also utilize a dash skill to surprise your opponent.\n\nThe strength of your weapons and your own armor scales in real time with the currency strength. The current timepoint is highlighted with a white vertical line and you can see some seconds into the future to plan your next strategic steps.\n\nIt is also possible to change your currency. This is possible in one of the exchange stops which are spread over the map. When you switch to a better currency, you will loose health (but gain weapon strength and armor) - switching to a worse currency will increase your health but lower your strength and armor. But keep in mind that the currencies values keep changing! However, you will keep the health you gained.\n\nThe game always uses three player characters, each playing as an individual currency. In the main menu, you can define how many of them are controlled by humans. You can only change to other currencies which are not already taken by other players.\n\n**Hint: When you play the game for the first time, you should definitely start it in three players mode** - even when you want to play alone. The AI is quite powerful and would most likely frustrate you when you directly fight against it. In your next rounds, you can decrease the number of human players to two such that the AI takes over a single player character. If you feel prepared enough after some training, you can switch to the true single player mode.\n\n### Available Weapons\n\nThere are three freely changeable weapon types.
