PILLING DEBT

Ludum Dare 44 - Your Life is Currency. A strategic runner. The player has a total of 10 pills, and needs to predict how many they'll use for each stage. The game is about a salaryman running to not lose his job, having to take anti-stress pills to avoid cardiac arrest. His name is Bill.

CONTROLS AND SYSTEM

Jump (SPACE)

The character can perform a short jump or a long jump, depending on the time at which the button is released. The character can also double jump at no cost. After the third jump and onwards, each jump costs 50 Stress.

Scream (Z)

The character screams, scaring any thieves in a small radius. Scared thieves don't rob your pills. This action costs 25 Stress.

Pills

Before each stage, the player must choose how many pills they're going to take. Select the amount with the slider and press the circle at the center to confirm. Once confirmed, Bill ingests all the pills at once - the player does not need to take them during the stage. Each Pill is worth 100 Stress. Stress accumulates throughout the stage, and the player must reach its end goal before reaching its maximum value. Bill begins with 10 Pills. Thieves can steal Pills from Bill.
