This is my first time participating in Ludum Dare!
This time the theme was "Your life is your currency" so I made a simple tower defense game where you spend health to build towers. Click anywhere to place a tower, which will decrease your health. Click on an existing tower to sacrifice it, and your health will increase by the number of enemies that tower killed. When an enemy reaches the end of a path, you lose health.
Think of this as a very quick TD game. There's a bit of luck required with the RNG for enemy spawns to gain momentum, but the challenge is in managing your towers and sacrificing the most productive ones to regain health.
Good use of the theme and pretty satisfying once you get some momentum. Could use some scaling over time with how many enemies came out. As it is I found I could kill everything by just keeping a little square of 4 towers over the middle of the path and then I got bored.
