Face the ultimate architects of financial tyranny. These five overlords command the corrupt fiat empire, each guarding a level with devastating power. Only by defeating them all can you reach the Bitcoin planet and restore freedom to the world.
The first line of defense in the fiat empire, the Custodian controls the masses through manufactured contentment. Draped in chains of gold, he wields the euro symbol as his weapon of control. His glowing eyes pierce through deception, seeking any who dare question the system. Those who challenge him must break through layers of complacency and fear before reaching his core. He represents the illusion of safety that keeps people enslaved.
Rising from a storm of worthless paper currency, the Moloch commands the machinery of infinite debt. IOU notes swirl around him like a tornado of broken promises. His sinister gaze reflects decades of monetary manipulation. With every attack, he summons waves of fiat bills and debt instruments, attempting to drown players in the weight of infinite obligation. He embodies the predatory nature of debt-based money and the suffering it creates.
Seated at the center of global finance, this imposing figure holds the world in his hands—literally. The glowing globe of orange energy represents his grip on international monetary policy. His cold, calculating eyes behind thick-rimmed glasses have watched empires rise and fall. He controls the flow of money between nations, manipulating economies with the flick of a wrist. His attacks include coordinated financial strikes and regulatory crackdowns that test even the most skilled pilots.
With flowing white hair and piercing orange eyes, the Finance Overlord represents centuries of accumulated power and corruption. Adorned with intricate golden patterns and ancient symbols of control, she is both elegant and terrifying. Her attacks are precise and devastating, utilizing laser-like beams that emerge from her eyes. She has witnessed the rise and fall of countless currencies and has no intention of letting Bitcoin disrupt her eternal reign. Her battle is one of endurance and pattern mastery.
The ultimate boss and final obstacle before reaching the Bitcoin planet. With glowing orange eyes that burn through his glasses like molten gold, the Master of Reserves holds a sphere of raw financial power—the dollar globe. Flames of inflation rage around him as he manipulates interest rates, reserve requirements, and monetary policy with devastating effect. His attacks come in waves of economic chaos: inflation bursts, liquidity drains, and cascading rate hikes. Defeating him requires mastery of all previous patterns and perfect execution under pressure.
Before facing the end bosses, players must overcome these mechanical enforcers—automated systems designed to protect the fiat empire. Each sub-boss represents a different tool of financial control and surveillance.
A mechanical monstrosity that spews endless fiat currency. Its glowing tubes process worthless paper at breakneck speed, flooding the battlefield with inflation-based attacks. Bills pour out like a toxic flood, each one devaluing the currency further. The Money Printer's relentless production creates chaos on screen as players must dodge waves of cascading paper money. Its green energy core pulses with the rhythm of quantitative easing. Destroy it before it devalues everything around you and buries you under the weight of worthless currency.
A brutal bronze automaton designed to drain resources from everything in its path. With mechanical arms and drilling appendages, it extracts value and outputs endless receipts of confiscation. The word "AUTHORIZED" stamped on its chassis mocks those it victimizes. Its attacks come in the form of seeking drills that lock onto targets and drain shield power. Long paper trails of tax documents follow its every move, creating obstacles and confusion. The Tax Extractor represents the systematic and unyielding nature of forced wealth extraction through bureaucratic machinery.
A spherical drone that manipulates perception with smiling emoji screens and broadcast capabilities. It spreads misinformation and confusion, making players question reality itself. The cheerful faces on its display screens are deeply unsettling, masking malicious intent behind false friendliness. Its attacks distort the HUD, reverse controls temporarily, and emit waves of confusion that scramble targeting systems. Blue particles of data surround it as it broadcasts narratives designed to mislead and control. Defeating it requires seeing through the deception and maintaining focus despite sensory manipulation.
A spider-like surveillance machine with a digital screen displaying binary patterns and targeting systems. It collects behavioral data and uses it against you, predicting movements and adapting attack patterns based on your play style. Its multiple spider legs allow it to move erratically across the screen while maintaining constant surveillance. The screen face shows data streams, tracking information, and occasionally displays your own movements back at you. Privacy is its enemy; exposure is its weapon. The Data Broker becomes more dangerous the longer the fight continues as it learns your patterns and exploits them mercilessly.
A massive mechanical bull crackling with volatile energy. Its body is covered in market tickers showing fluctuating green and red charts that shift with its mood. It charges with exponential force, representing the dangerous allure and devastating consequences of overleveraged positions. When it builds momentum, the entire screen shakes with its power. Green candlesticks appear during its charge phases, only to turn blood red when it crashes. Its attacks include market-style pump and dump patterns, volatile swings, and margin calls that drain your resources. When defeated, it crashes spectacularly in a cascade of red candles and liquidation notices—a fitting end for a beast born of excessive risk and greed.
