Capitalist Compounder - Classic Version 1.00

Objective:

• Guide your top-hatted capitalist across an endless landscape.
• Jump over pits. Falling into a pit ends the run.
• Environmental objects (blocks, platforms) are safe — you can land on anything that is solid.
• Smaller silver competitors patrol the ground and occasionally hop. Jump on top for +$250 to stock principal; any other contact ends the run.
• Taller blue competitors are more dangerous — jump on top for +$500 to stock principal; any other contact ends the run.
• Major red competitors are three times as wide and jump higher — stomp them for +$10,000 to stock principal; any other contact ends the run. They move about 30% slower than other competitors.
• Nimble teal competitors sprint across the screen at roughly twice your speed, at your own height — jumping on top awards +$25,000 to stock principal; any other contact ends the run.
• Floating “Tax Bill” envelopes drift through the sky; touching one in any way immediately reduces your total wealth by a random amount between 5% and 20% (the run continues) and briefly pauses the action.
• Collect coins (worth $1) and stock certificates worth different amounts: $250, $500, $1,000, $10,000, and $25,000.
• Coin balances compound as Interest Income at 4% every 10 seconds, applied on a pro-rated basis every second; stock balances compound as Capital Gains & Dividends at 10% every 10 seconds, also pro-rated every second. Compounding applies to both principal and previously accrued interest/gains.
• Your total — principal plus growth — becomes your Score and determines the High Score. There is no final win state — just keep compounding.

Tip: Occasionally, a Coin Frenzy will begin — the screen fills with coins and the music speeds up. Coin Frenzies occur at random intervals, but never more than about 60 seconds apart. High-denomination $25,000 stock certificates appear at least once every 30 seconds of active play.
