💰 CashCheck – Financial Awareness Through Gamification

🏦 About the Game

CashCheck is an educational puzzle-simulation game that puts you in the role of a bank staff member tasked with sorting and verifying banknotes — identifying which are genuine, counterfeit, or unfit for circulation.

Using a charming Rubber Hose art style, intuitive mechanics, and real-world context, CashCheck makes financial literacy fun, interactive, and meaningful.

Developed by the Pocket Lite Team from Politeknik Negeri Batam, the game supports Bank Indonesia’s mission to increase public awareness and prevent the circulation of counterfeit money.

📖 Story

You play as Somat, a rookie teller working in the currency sorting department.
At first, the job seems easy — checking bills one by one — but as the workload increases, time runs short, and counterfeits become harder to detect.

Each level introduces new challenges and daily news reports about counterfeit cases, immersing you in the world of financial responsibility.
Through Somat’s journey, players learn that even small actions can have a big impact on maintaining the trust and stability of a nation’s economy.

🎨 Visual Style

CashCheck adopts a Rubber Hose Art Style, inspired by 1930s classics like Cuphead and Mickey Mouse.
This nostalgic and flexible animation style turns a serious financial theme into a lighthearted and visually appealing experience.

💵 Even the banknotes are personified — with expressions and emotions — bringing humor and charm into every inspection session!
