About the Game

Little-known Pennylooter fact: it actually started as an anti-anti-cheat software that would be installed into other games in order to allow cheaters to cheat even with the presence of normal anti-cheat software. It is unknown why developers would use both, but it does explain why many games have anti-cheat software and still suffer from cheaters. The theory is that developers commissioned a man to create Pennylooter as a method to make money from both sides. Unfortunately, everyone lost when the developer of Pennylooter had a vision while on a retreat to Harrisonville, Missouri that foretold of a great cosmic collapse that would cause waves of vertiginous hysteria to any poor soul who dared lay eyes on digital pennies, and so he did the only thing he could think of: abuse our desperate need for dopamine in order to collect every pixelated penny in existence by turning it into a virtual adventure - of sorts. It is a game, but it's also sort of a concept, a way of life, a phantasmic defense against the thin veil between our reality and the one composed of angelic whispers and hellish cries. A gift basket, a rogue-lite, a vogue-right; it is woe betiden. It is all we have left.

Pennylooter's got all this cool stuff check it out:

BOSS FIGHTS

Work your way through all 12 bosses, with two difficulty modes just in case you feel like they're going easy on you.

REGULAR FIGHTS

Between the boss fights, you'll have to contend with multiple waves of enemies. As you progress, you'll find yourself confronted by more of these ugly creatures, but do not strife! Collect the pennies they drop and you can use them to buy guns, food, and items that give you special abilities. 

EXPLORATION

Seven different biomes, each with their own unique enemies and surprises. Watch out.

FROGS

There's frogs.
