Neon Broke

About the game

Build a deck of Assets, deploy them into lanes in real time, cash them out for Capital, and spend that Capital on a better deck. Meanwhile a loan is counting down, and every time you push it back the Debt Collector gets meaner.

Runs cross five neon districts: Market, Backstreet, Midtown, Downtown and the Tower. Each one has its own enemies, shops and look. The map only goes forward, so every branch you take closes another.

Made for the Coolmath Games Jam 2026, whose theme was financial literacy. The lessons are in the systems: smaller decks draw your best cards more often, and a loan you can’t cover costs you real cards.
