Cash Cow DX is a premium title inspired by arcade games in the 80s. In this cute platformer, Cash Cow — the player character — must retrieve her hard-earned fortune from the nefarious Pig Pockets across five obstacle-filled, multi-screen stages. Don’t underestimate the difficulty, though, because all levels will make or break you.

Variety of game modes

In Cash Cow DX, players collect money and diamonds for points and avoid the Pig Pockets: Speedy Spiky, Rolly Ronny, and Bouncy Bobby. However, they can be eliminated using a pickaxe. With no “Continue” screens, players must be careful as one wrong move results in a game over. 

The controls and character movement are tricky to get used to, as well. That aside, you can also toggle the speed setting to Normal and Turbo; set the difficulty to either easy, normal, or hard mode; or play “Endless Marathon,” “Goldrush Speedrun,” or “Practice” mode. 

Take on the challenge

Although Cash Cow perfectly captures the essence of retro games, aiming for high-skill gameplay takes practice due to the tricky movement and steep difficulty. However, on the bright side, this title is packed with multiple game modes for added replay value.
