Read full description

BonusHunter is a not too serious game where you guide a banker via motion control to pick up as much cash as possible. You must avoid the bad cash and if you crash into a colleague you might be punished or rewarded. As an additional challenge the motion control will work counter intuitive in higher levels and you need a lot of practice to reach the target.
