Money Idol Exchanger in pico8 released


This is a game I made for practice and fun. It's inspired by Money Idol Exchanger (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Money_Idol_Exchanger), an arcade game that was quite popular in the late 90s and early 2000. 

The game pacing is even faster than normal arcade games. If you simply enjoy quickly, heavily and repeatedly smashing some buttons, this is the right game for you. On the other hand, this is a puzzle game like Tetris, making it not just a no-brainer keyboard destroyer. The balance between physical and mental effort is the charm.

 It's kinda a shame that many arcades, like Money Idol Exchanger, didn't make it to our current generation (well, I guess you can still find them in Arcade Archives). That's why I made this, so that for those who likes it , the good old game will be remembered (hopefully).
