Money Puzzle Exchanger^[c] is a puzzle game created on January 17, 1997 by Japanese video game developer Face for the Neo Geo MVSarcade system.^[4][5][6][7] Athena Co. Ltd. ported it to the Game Boy on August 29, 1997, and the PlayStation on November 5, 1998. The Japanese PlayStation version was made available by MonkeyPaw Games on the PlayStation Network's import store on November 16, 2010. It was later re-released as part of the Arcade Archives Neo Geo series for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch on June 28, 2018.^[8]

Gameplay[edit]

Money Puzzle Exchanger is a stacking game similar to the Magical Drop, Astro Pop, and Puzzle Bobble series whereby players race to prevent a perpetually falling array of coins in different values from filling up the screen. Coins are combined (vertically and/or horizontally) to form higher valued coins; for example, five '1' coins will form a '5' coin, and two '5' coins will form a '10' coin, and so on, until two '500' coins are put together, at which point both disappear. Coins are arranged and colored to match denominations of the yen coins. Two bonus tiles allow for changes in gameplay. A green RU tile will rank up all coins of the same denomination; for example, all '10' coins will become '50' coins. A blue ER title will erase all coins of the same value. The game is won when any coin reaches the bottom of the opponent's screen.^[9]

In the single player mode, one of two characters can be selected who attempt to beat up to seven idiosyncratically named characters with names like Debtmiser, Mightdealer, Eldylabor, and Cherrybeiter. In the two player mode, both players fight each other until victory. The quicker and more efficiently each player clears out their screen, the quicker the other player's screen will fill up. Since filled screens offer the most opportunity for chaining together large combos, the tide can turn very quickly.

There is also another single player mode called Solo Mode. Any character can be played in this mode. The aim in Solo Mode is to continually clear the screen from coins and try to keep the game going for as long as possible.

Only the most resourceful and courageous inmates would attempt a prison break. Meet with criminal brothers in the addictive game Money Movers and help them escape from their prison cell through different challenging and entertaining levels. This is the most secure prison in the country but the brothers are determined. No amount of traps, security cameras, or guards would be enough to stop them. Sneak into the prison and help them to reach their freedom!

Money Movers takes place in a prison where you control two brothers who are trying to escape. There is a total of 20 levels in this game and in each level, you will encounter different obstacles. Your objective as the player is to overcome these obstacles by pushing buttons, pulling levers, throwing and moving objects, and sometimes running away from other dangerous denizens of the prison. The prison is not deserted and in some levels, you have to face other inmates and guards, all trying to stop you from escaping. The criminal brothers are two differently built men. One is big, the other small. The big brother is capable of throwing objects but he lacks the speed and agility of his small brother. The small brother is faster and can pass through narrow passages, unlike his bigger brother. To complete the levels and clear your way, you have to use both of the characters because one can reach places the other can't. In every level, you will also see money bags that you should collect to unlock the bonus level. Each level has 3 money bags and not all of them will be easy to collect. Once you collect all the money bags in the game, you can play the bonus level and help the brothers escape from the prison with riches!

Who thought breaking out of prison would be this fun! Because of their adventurous natures, the brothers will surely get into trouble once they reach freedom. You can check out the other adventures of the criminal brothers in our collection of Money Movers games. Have fun and don't get caught!
