About:

A short, deliberately slippery pixel-art platformer made in ten days for Gamedev.js Jam 2025 by Jani Nykänen. Your balance is your life bar: every death costs money, coins buy you more chances, and the controls are tuned to make you panic. Bright hand-drawn levels, a proper intro and ending, double jumps, springs and a final boss.
