About It Ate My Dollar

It Ate My Dollar is a 3D active incremental game about a vending machine that took your last dollar. Your mission is simple: punch the machine until snacks fall off the coils, collect them in your pockets, and sell them for cash. Between runs, you can buy upgrades to improve your efficiency. The game features a charming cartoon low-poly style where you only fight machines, never people.

Each run lasts between 45 seconds and two and a half minutes. Every punch shakes the coils closest to the spot you hit, so precision is key—aim for the most valuable snacks, which glow on the shelves. Fallen snacks land in the tray before moving into your pockets. Be careful: your pockets have a limit, and any snacks left in the tray when the run ends are lost. Additionally, every hit generates noise. If the noise bar reaches 100%, a siren sounds and a guard will arrive to end your run. You can press 'Walk away' at any time to leave safely with your current loot. For bigger rewards, try to break the glass to drop all front snacks at once, or smash the coin box for a fountain of coins.

You can increase your punching power, land critical hits, unlock a charged punch, or even use a kick. The Pre-run Ritual upgrade allows you to choose one of three perks from a pool of 20 before starting a run. Later, you will unlock specialized tools like the Coat Hanger, Crowbar, Magnet, and Sledgehammer.

The game features seven unique machines in different locations, each with its own rules: the SnackMaster 3000 in an office, the exploding Fizz Tower in a gym, the Metro Muncher with its silent train windows, and more. Your journey culminates at the VendCorp headquarters against The Mother Machine, a three-phase boss. After defeating the boss, Overtime mode begins with endless, increasingly difficult machines.
