COIN (Cash of Infinite Necessity)
Read-Me
Hello and welcome to COIN, which has been made for The Independent Gaming Source's Assemblee Contest!
For those of you who might not be familiar with this contest, people created tons of resources in Part One of the contest. In Part 2, of which COIN is a part, these resources are to be exclusively used to make a game. Thus, COIN contains no Monochrome Nightmares-produced graphics or audio, only code.
The Premise:
You are a bandit from the 1800s. You have stolen so many coins that you have run out of coins to steal. Your next move? Rob the future...
How to Play:
Controls:
Arrow Keys: Move
X: Jump
Z: Shoot
The main goal is to get through the level alive. Just run, jump, and shoot at enemies. At the end of the level, there is a large gem. Shoot it to break it and complete the level.
The second goal of the game is to get as much money as possible. Whenever you collect a coin or kill an enemy, you are adding to your multiplier. Whenever you kill an enemy, it will drop a number of coins equal to your multiplier. Your multiplier depletes as long as you aren't grabbing coins, and it falls faster the higher the number is. Use strategy in order to figure out how to maximize your multiplier and become rich!
Online leaderboard:
Once you've completed the level, you can choose to submit your score to the new official online leaderboard! This is an experimental feature, but it seems to work well as long as the site is up. If there is an error when you submit, it will give you the option to try again, although you may need to wait a bit if the website itself is experiencing problems.
Note: Monochrome Nightmares does not like cheating, and any suspicious scores will be removed promptly. If you are a forum member, you may face a temporary ban. Don't even think about it.
Your Feedback is Important:
Even though the contest is over, COIN will continue to be refined and improved as long as there is interest. Please give your thoughts at the Monochrome Nightmares Forum!
Thanks and enjoy!
