This game is inspired by shoot 'em ups of old, like R Type and Thunder Force. You pilot a small ship down an alien filled tunnel, shooting your way through to the end. Each enemy kill increases your health. You can gain way more than your max hp, which get converted in upgrade zones into money! With that you can purchase one upgrade during each upgrade zone session. Hence, your life gets turned into currency which you spend on upgrades. Clever, eh?

Anyway, I had a lot of fun making this and learned a lot too. Unfortunately there are a few issues with the game. The minor issue is that the sound track wouldn't export, and so sadly your left with just cannons firing and explosions to listen to. But more troubling is the fact that bullets aren't registering their collision with enemies all the time, which makes the game tougher. This particular issue I may publish a fix for during the scoring portion of the jam since I consider it a bit game breaking.
