What the Buck?!
Launches 9 November 2026 · PC · Simulator, Strategy, Indie

What the Buck?! is an incremental game about destroying money. Swipe a credit card through an ATM, bills land on a table, and the breaker shreds them for money. Electric bills arc to the bills next to them, explosive bills blow up the stack around them, and burning bills set their neighbours on fire. Over 240 upgrades are spread across upgrade panels, a skill tree and a prestige tree. Ending a shift turns the money destroyed into Prestige Points for permanent upgrades, so the next shift starts stronger. Mr. Buck, the player's boss, calls in with instructions and opinions.

Stock certificates land in your tray: watch Bitcorn and Grandma's Tulip Fund rise and fall, and cash out at the right moment. Keep destroying without a pause and the combo meter fills. Every Frenzy stage pays more, and the numbers on the table grow with it. Your...
