Currencies of Life by Bartman
EDIT: The scoreboard doesn't work. This is because dreamlo doesn't work with the WebGL build. I don't know the exact reason but it had something to do that http links don't work.
*This is my first time I've entered a game jam and first time I "finished" a game. Feedback is appreciated :smile: *
"Currencies of Life" is about the three main currencies in life: Money, TIme and Health.
The goal of the game is to make sure you don't lose any of the three currencies for as long as possible. The longer you survive the higher your score. Losing any currency is GAME OVER!
HOW TO PLAY
Walking with WASD You aim with your mouse and left-mousebutton to shoot
MONEY
You start with 100$, and when you kill an enemy you get 6$. But every time you shoot you spend 5$. So choose your shots wisely and don't just spam.
HEALTH
You start with 10 health, every time you get hit by an enemy your health will decrease by 1.
TIME
You start with 60 seconds, you have two ways to manipulate time.
Holding down L-Control will increase the timer by one second every two seconds. However this will also speed up enemies and their spawn time. Try to hold L-Control as much as possible to prevent the timer from running out.
If you're in a bad situation you can hold L-Shift to make all enemies move slower, while you move faster. But beware this will make your timer go down twice as fast.
POWERUPS
There are three different kinds of powerups which spawn every 20 seconds in a random spot.
Money - Will increase your money by 15
Health - Will increase your health by 1
Time - WIll increase your timer by 5 seconds
SCORE
There are a couple of ways you can increase your score.
Every seconds that passes your score will increase by 1, when you hold L-Control the score will increase faster.
For every enemy you kill your score will increase by 1.
For every powerup you pick up your score will increase by 15.
SCOREBOARD
There is a public scoreboard at the game over screen. If you want to enter your score, type in your name after you're game over and your score will be sent to the scoreboard.
The scoreboard only shows the top 10, so if you're not on there you should try again ;)

I have now added a webversion of my game to itch.io, so you will be able to play it in your browser instead.
Let me know if you find any problems!
also I dig the music :)
Presentation is pretty good. Great effort for your first jam game. My high score was 251 but that "Fetching..." guy is just owning thescore board right now :)
