Here it is, my entry! I seemed to get distracted a lot this Ludum Dare, so there may be a few problems with the game. I'm just happy I made something.

Oh, and I made a few musical pieces. I don't know if they're any good, that's up for you to decide!

Instructions

Use the arrow keys to move, press up to look up. Space fires your handcuff gun, hit the criminals with your handcuff gun to arrest them and gain ten dollars. The more money you have, the more criminals come.

If the criminals steal all your money, you lose. If you get more than 2,050 dollars, you buy protections and win.

Good Job!

I believe it should speed up a bit faster, no music makes the game feel slow.
My only other issue is that a whole gold bar should be worth more than 10 dollars!

Sorry, clicking on the LudumDare40.exe file did nothing, I couldn't run the game. PC is Windows 10 version 1703 with RX480.

I had the same issue where it wouldn't run at first, I had to install the XNA 4 framework to get it to work. (I guess shipping the DLLs alongside the binary didn't cut it?)

Pretty good use of the theme, though the gameplay is pretty basic. It seemed like the criminals got faster as time went on, but there weren't more of them at once so it didn't get appreciably harder. I would've liked things to get a bit more hectic as time went on.

@adhesion I didn't make the criminals get faster, I made them spawn at a higher rate. Strange that you experienced the exact opposite.

I should probably try and port the game to MonoGame, maybe that would help.
