What the Buck?!

What the Buck?! is a game about destroying money. Swipe a credit card through an ATM to drop bills onto a table, then steer a breaker over them to shred them. Each bill you destroy pays out, and the shreds go in the trash.

Bills and chain reactions

Different bills create different effects: electric bills arc to nearby bills, explosive bills blow up the surrounding stack, and burning bills set their neighbours on fire. Gold bills pay more, and their shockwaves turn nearby bills gold. Diamonds shatter into shards that cut through stacks, while stock certificates land in your tray. Their values rise and fall with Bitcorn and Grandma's Tulip Fund, so you can choose when to cash out.

Keep destroying bills without a pause to fill the combo meter. Each Frenzy stage pays more, and the numbers on the table grow along with it. With the right upgrades, a single hit can clear the whole table.

Upgrades and shifts

The game has over 240 upgrades across three systems: upgrade panels, a skill tree and a prestige tree. They add options such as new bill types, bigger bundles, coins, diamonds, a flamethrower and a second ATM, with each branch changing how the table plays.

Destroying money also earns Prestige Points. When a shift slows down, you can end it and spend those points on permanent upgrades, including an auto swiper, a second ATM and a combo meter. Each new shift starts stronger and can go further.
