Daylight Saving Time should be abolished everywhere. You would not believe how many deaths it actually causes. Every time it switches, car crash and medication fatalities spike. Plus, it takes me six months to get used to it.
It took a while to understand what's going on, but I enjoyed it. It seems odd that I can project my buying power clear across the map. It only aids in the snowball effect, so once one player starts winning, the game can pretty much be called at 60%.
I get that the title acts as minimalist instructions, but it took about three plays to figure out what was going on. Are the big dudes are the bottom the overlords? Or is the beacon unit? The way the +1 point floaters where all different neons made me think the guys on the bottom where shooting at me. The beacon's sign was a bit too small to read. It seemed he was holding a basket instead, so I spent a few games uselessly trying to catch the gold with it. :-p
Do the big guys at the bottom have a purpose? It'd add a little gameplay depth if they stole coins or acted as minion repulsors (creating gaps in the gold collection layer) or actually shot stun lasers upwards, but it'd have to be made clear what their function was.
I liked survival mode, once I figured how to stop giving the other team points. A different sound when you score, versus when they score would help differentiate. The "to 30 points" win condition is a little high unless the AI is made a bit stronger. Good job!
