Legal Tender is a memory game built in GB Studio. It was made as a part of Into the Game Jam - Summer 2024, the game jam hosted by The Worst Garbage Discord community. The theme was "The Alchemy of a Coin".

Legal Tender is the first game I have made and finished, and the goal was to finish something, no matter how small.

The original concept was to have multiple rooms of vending machines where you would spend a coin per guess to match items coming out of those machines to each other. If you run out of coins, you have to start over. I imagined more ways to get coins as you progressed.

This build is simply 1 room. I probably won't come back and add more, but the idea is here, and I learned a ton!

If I pick it back up, you'll probably hear about it in a video or on my blog at MattHorton.live
