interesting idea, but needs some work.
nickles, dimes, and quarters all look very similar, and with them dropping quickly it can be hard to read their values properly and react in time.
i recommend a different sorting label than P, N, D, and Q. it's awkward to associate coin values with letters. maybe you could put presidential busts on the containers and coins themselves instead? i'd like to see Lincoln on a penny grinning at me and giving me a thumbs-up.
also, controlling all four containers in a joint fashion proved to be clumsy and inefficient. at times there was that one quarter on the far left, or that one penny on the extreme right of the screen so that it was impossible to line up the container with it. what if you only controlled one container at a time, and could switch it with an assigned button? you could even have a difficulty scale where you start with only pennies and nickles and two switchable containers, and then add another coin and container after a while.
a sound effect associated with missing a coin would've been useful.
as usual with games of this fashion, power-ups would've been a nice addition, but not necessary.
nice job overall, keep up the good work.
hope this review has helped.
