General:

Your goal is to earn as much money as you can in three exciting minigames. When you have finished all three games, you will have the chance to save your score to a global leaderboard.

So get playing and never forget to "Just Get Started!"

Lucky Chest:

In this minigame you will need to trust your guts. "Just Get Started" and pick one of five chests, but be warned: some chests contain bombs, that will burn all your money gathered in this minigame and will harm you so severely that you cannot continue into the next Stage.

There are 3 stages, and with each one the prize pool increases, but so thus the number of bombs so be cautious and chose wisely!

(1: [2500$, 1500$,1000$,0$, 1 x bomb]; 2: [7500$, 5000$, 0$, 2x bomb]; 3: [10000$, 0$, 3x bomb])

Space Janitor:

Recycling is always a good deed, so "Just Get Started!" . In this minigame you will need to sort asteroids from scrap and put them into the correct container. To do this just drag them around. Everything is worth 1000$, even the Spaceships, if they pass through safely.

However do not forget you are in a high-traffic zone! If you hit a spaceship the pilots family will sue you and you will lose 3000$.

Safe the Mole:

Gardening is always so relaxing, but the weed is growing rapidly. 

So "Just Get Started" weeding, clear your beautiful garden from any weed and earn 500$ per weed. But be cautious: many moles want to enjoy the peaceful garden. If you accidently harm one, animal welfare will come after you and you will lose 1500$ (And lets be honest, nobody wants to hurt a cute mole).
