About 4 for the Money Demo

✦ AI summary

4 for the Money Demo is an 8-bit platformer where you and up to 3 friends pull off a heist as anti-heroes using a unique color-based skill system that forces meaningful teamwork. Solo or co-op, you'll tackle robots, puzzles and bosses with customizable difficulty that lets casual and hardcore players find their perfect challenge together.

4 for the Money is an 8-bit, action-packed platformer for 1-4 players. Join 4 anti-heroes in a heist against a corrupt organization in this demo showcasing the gameplay and banter of the 4 for the Money Kickstarter project, open January 11th through February 24th, 2018.

4 for the Money features separate level designs for the single and multiplayer modes, making for intense action whichever way you play. Play alone for rapid role-swapping action to overcome an onslaught of vicious robots, puzzles and big bosses. Or team up for outrageous teamwork that will leave friends and family laughing, shouting, throwing controls and everything else that makes for memorable co-op!

There are no heroes here! The unique color system requires the whole team to be on their A-game, using their mobility and skills to cover each other as greater challenges and enemies loom. Player characters feature exclusive colors that create a niche within the team where only they can succeed. Will you choose weapon versatility, aerial movement, or maybe body the opposition as the team shield?

4 for the Money features dynamic difficulty settings, allowing players to customize the difficulty. With 8 customizable difficulty variables including varying level designs, enemy health, damage received and checkpoint frequency, casual and hardcore players alike will enjoy the action, even while playing together. Your team can make the game ridiculously easy, or impossibly hard, or anywhere in between!

The 4 for the Money experience climaxes as the colorful characters and detailed, parallaxed backgrounds meet with snoopy, retro music from renowned indie game composer Souleye (VVVVVV).

So call some friends and get your gadgets around. You've got a big job tonight...

No Steam achievements is a pretty big omission for a game built around completing levels and defeating bosses. The game itself looks like a fun little NES-style platformer, but there are plenty of obvious opportunities for achievements here. Even as a free demo, adding some basic milestones would have made it much more appealing to achievement hunters.

Игра '4 for the Money Demo' оставила смешанные впечатления. С одной стороны, идея с кооперативным ограблением, где каждый игрок управляет уникальным членом команды, звучит очень привлекательно. Визуальный стиль, хоть и простой, добавляет шарма и атмосферы фильма о грабителях. Персонажи довольно колоритные, и хочется узнать больше об их предысториях. Однако, демо-версия кажется обрывочной. Управление немного неуклюжее, особенно в пылу погони. Задания порой не совсем очевидно описаны, и приходится гадать, что именно требуется. Кооператив, который должен быть главной фишкой, в демо представлен слабо – взаимодействия между игроками минимальны. В целом, потенциал у игры есть. Если разработчики поработают над улучшением управления, добавят больше глубины в кооперативный геймплей и прояснят цели заданий, то из '4 for the Money' может получиться интересная кооперативная игра для веселых вечеров с друзьями. Но на данный момент, демо-версия больше похожа на черновик, требующий серьезной доработки. Подождем финального релиза, чтобы увидеть, реализуют ли разработчики весь заложенный потенциал.

4 For The Money is a pretty interesting game because it explores something you don’t see that often in platformers: combining different agents with unique abilities, each represented by a color. Each color is used either to solve specific puzzles or to defeat enemies of that same color. It’s a concept with a lot of potential. The problem is the controls, you pretty much have to play only with a controller. On keyboard it’s practically impossible, and even then, the controls still feel quite clunky. It’s clearly designed to be played with multiple players; solo play feels very rough. The idea itself is solid and interesting, but when it comes to strategy, if you’re playing alone, you’ll feel very limited and end up going in circles a lot, which kind of defeats the purpose.
