A downloadable little unfinished mess for Windows, macOS, and Linux

IGASCALBNIAAAIMD is a top-down shooter made for the Ludum Dare 44 Jam

The theme was "Your life is currency" and this is the result. As it is, it's unfinished and the game's story isn't shown anywhere, so I'll tell it here:

You died and then Death resurected you as an axolotl. But it wasn't for free! Now you are in debt and have to pay with the souls of immortal beings (plus interests every thirty seconds).

Originally the game was going to have 4 enemies (zombies, demons, lichs and shadow figures) plus a vampire boss and a lot of different bubbles and upgrades.

Alas, the game has only 4 types of bubbles, one enemy (zombies) and a shop. Also simple procedural dungeons and some stats. The game doesn't even feature Lizzie (Death) :(

A cute game, but I wish there was more to do.

Hey, thanks! I'm not sure if I'll come back to this game and finish it in the near future since I'm working on three different things right now, but you may like Nuclear Throne by Vlambeer, which this game takes inspiration from in regards to gameplay. If you're not interested in the gameplay and instead are looking for something cute, check out the Wholesome Games Direct, which features a lot of games that fit that criteria (I'm not affiliated with any of the devs that made these games.)
Finally, you may like my latest game Witch Sisters' Sugary Dreams, which is more ""finished"" than any of my other games and features two witches collecting candy that was stolen by an evil demon girl. The game plays and looks like an old arcade game, so if that's your kind of thing do please check it out :)

You should add the LD page link (and the corresponding tag) in the game details. I stumbled across this in here and having a hard time finding it from ldjam.com

You're right. It slipped my mind. Thanks. And thanks for playing :)

Any plans to continue development?

I'm not really sure. At least not this month, because I'm quite busy. Also, the game is a bit too similar to Nuclear Throne, so it's not really original or anything. I'd like to make another game too. Anyways, probably yes, but not in the near future.  

Thanks for playing!

Never heard of Nuclear Throne, but I'll look it up! Thanks for the reply.
