Scrooge the Cat by clayzulah

Scrooge the Cat has spent his long, ponderous life hoarding coins - but his time grows short, and as death's icy paw grips his shoulder, he decides to try out philanthropy. Your mission: get rid of all of Scrooge's coins before the clock runs out!
Control Scrooge with the arrow keys and throw coins using the shift key. Try and spread your wealth to the surrounding townsfolk, but be careful - they'll emulate your generous spirit and throw coins back at you.
May be updated with more features (opening cutscene, saving scores, multiple levels) in the near future!

I agree the atmosphere fits with christmas :smile:
The game is chalenging and to my opinion, it could be easely implemented into a bigger game as a mini game. There's some inspiration to dig up here. Nice work !
All in all a well polished game with a nice simple mechanic. Good job!

Thanks for the short-yet-charming experience. The pixel art was top notch, and the whole structure of the game - visual, audio, polish and theme wise - worked in perfect harmony. Just throwing money around felt satisfying, and some areas were cleverly placed for a satisfying platforming action. Heck, I'm even more surprised that the game had options for remapping every button. You don't see that often, and that ended up being very useful. More people should implement this on their games.
I had a very good time with Scrooge. Such a nice cat. Anyhow. [In behalf of our team](https://twitter.com/WhalesAndGames), we're looking forward to your next games. Cheers! :whale:
just checked, it is "Certain Bug Fixes are allowed. You can’t add new features, but if something broke or didn’t work correctly as you were finishing up, you can fix this after the deadline. You are asked to highlight the changes you make in your submission (a short change log). You probably wont get a 2nd chance with some players, but at least it wont be a problem for future players."
