4 for the Money Demo
$500 Cash Prize Competition
We’re holding a $500 cash prize competition for 4 for the Money on Friday, 1/26 through Monday, 1/29! Full details here: http://steamcommunity.com/…/anno…/detail/1666763438077060560
About the Game4 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…

Disclosure: two of the developers are my childhood friends.
This is a challenging and unique team-based side-scroller intended to be played by two to four players locally. It has a unique mechanic where a player can only interact with enemies and environment objects which have a color similar to the controlled character's color i.e. only the yellow character can jump on those yellow platforms and only the red and blue characters can defeat this purple robot. This results in interesting puzzles and forces the players to try new strategies.
The art, animations, and music are very well done.
I recommend you try the demo and hopefully it won't be long before the full version comes out.
(I played this game a lot more than Steam knows since I played it with a friend while logged into his Steam account.)

With it's emphasis on teamwork, this co-op action platformer, while able to be played and thoroughly enjoyed single player, is exceptional when played with more. (I'd have to say, the best is with 4 players) Throughout this demo, you must remember your primary and secondary colors, as it dictates what platforms you can stand on, what parts of a particular puzzle you can solve, and even what enemies you can harm. Each character has different ablilities, strengths and weaknesses which, combined with the color mechanic, turns the co-op aspect into a particular necessity for teamwork that isn't seen in most co-op games.
Also I have played it much more than what Steam says. The demo was available first on the kickstarter page, and I've played several hours with friends (yes i've spent hours on a demo with only 4 levels and a boss). On that note, the difficulty settings are innovative. Allowing you to completely decide how hard you want to make the game.
All in all, even for a demo it's some of the most fun I've had on a platformer. Free or paid.

As a free game, it can only say barely qualified. It really doesn't make me want to keep playing. But I believe that the developer's starting point is good, encouraging multiple people to play games together. Unfortunately, it's hard to find friends who are willing to play this game with you. That's all.

Coold game! The core of the game feels a lot like Megaman, but the multiple characters and multiplayer adds a lot to the game.
I played the game with bunch of random people at PAX and had a lot of fun. I've since played single-player on the demo and enjoyed it just as much.
The color mechanic is really neat and unique and the difficulty customization keeps me going back to try out harder settings. I got my wife to play with me last night and even got my wife to play and enjoy it (we had to turn on invincibility for her). It's great that it allows so many options!

This game is amazing! Very cool concept and it's really unique. Lost Marbles has really captured that nostalgic feeling from couch plays back in the day that we all keep wishing would come back. There are some bugs here and there, but it's still in beta so that's understandable. I know they're working on it every day to make it better. If you want a great time with your pals, look no further than this game! There are infinite difficulty levels making it as easy or hard as you'd like. Hours upon hours of fun will come from this game. Highly recommended.
