Story & Gameplay

You're a greedy banker who values their currency more than their life. After a strange incident, your money turned sentient and lit your bank on fire! It's up to you to rush in and capture all of the currency. Better make it quick, or you'll be toast in this fast-paced top-down shooter.

To beat each level, you must bag all the money monsters by shooting them. But make your shot count because you only have enough bullets as there are enemies! And you gotta make it quick because the flames are closing in! But you get a little more time each time you capture an enemy.

Controls:

  • WASD - Move

  • Mouse - Aim

  • Left Mouse - Shoot

  • E - Restart Room

  • Space / Escape - Pause

  • F / F4 / F1 on menu for fullscreen (windows). bb2.gif

Wow, that was amazing! The concept is brilliant. The pixel art and environment is perfect.

I like how you played around with the game idea. Each level feels unique. Well done!

The only thing which is sad, is that I already played through it... Would love to see more of it!

Awesome work! That was fun, I beat it! it felt really good, I love the retro graphics and aesthetic. I wish I could make it go fullscreen, that also made it difficult to play at times when I clicked outside the window. Great level design. It felt like a really good progression and adding level names helped give it some context. Gameplay was challenging but very beatable. One small complaint is that the ui overlaps the gameplay and confused me a bit at first. The game length was perfect. Congrats, thanks for making this one!

Just beat it, I liked the soundtrack and the gameplay did well focusing on its primary mechanic. It was very polished for a game jam. The game works fine in wine for any Linux users.

Level 9 felt a bit out of place in terms of difficulty curve, and still feels like the hardest level, but maybe I missed something.

@datagreed ~~Hey, sorry for the delay! I think I finally found the reason for my issues creating a mac build, and I uploaded a new build to the itch page. Try re-downloading the mac version from itch, and let me know. Thanks for showing interest in my game!~~

Edit: See comment below

@datagreed Did some more digging, and it seems like this is a common issue when downloading gamemaker games onto Mac OSX - see https://help.yoyogames.com/hc/en-us/articles/216753558-My-app-won-t-open-when-downloaded-from-the-internet

To fix this, you will have to open the terminal, navigate to the folder in which you saved BANKBURNER.app, and type the following into the terminal:
`xattr -d com.apple.quarantine BANKBURNER.app`
Then you should be able to run the game.

Thanks for showing interest in my game!

Liked the music and the flow of the game! Although, some levels were too easy and some too complicated.

@repine that did it, thanks!

Awesome game! Nice mechanic with the view radius. It's a good idea to make ammo deplatable, so you cannot spray'n'pray. Got stuck on run level :D
