McBank: The Puzzle of Money and Freedom

[Shaz]

That's right, as slamraman says, the entire game is free to play. And if you like it and want to support us you can choose to get the in-game badges.

The gamecenter leader board is the sum of all your 'moves remaining' for any puzzles you completed. So if you finish all the puzzles by using the least amount of moves you'll be at the top of the leader board.

And to post your high score you just visit the gamecenter page inside the app.

I'll take the reference to Aphex Twin as a compliment! I've been listening to a lot of Solar Fields lately so that probably influenced the music too.

I appreciate the satirical vision of the dev(s) who made this game. That it is free is wonderful and magnanimous, and I hope that it will reach a large audience of diverse demographics. I think there's a message here, but it's not pushed down your throat; it's really up to the player to decide. The player can choose to put it to the Man or step on the little people so to speak, and all with a grain of salt, of course. The art is analogous to some of the best political cartoons I've seen. I think the political/economic commentary is quite thought-provoking, and to incorporate brain-exercising puzzles into it is an ingenious way of getting people to think about some significant real-life ethical issues they might not ponder on your average day. I'll be keeping this game on my iPhone and iPad for a long time for myself and to show friends!

Great job.

And, I don't mean to sound dogmatic here. These are merely compliments to the dev(s)!

Thanks for posting your feedback. I can see that you completely understand what McBank is all about and that's really cool to see. Throughout development we were adjusting things to try and make the communication of the theme more clear. So it's great to hear that people are not only understanding it but really connecting with it.

If you didn't already, please leave a rating in the app store!
