YOU HAVE 30 SECONDS.
EVERYTHING COSTS TIME.

DEBT is a fast top-down survival shooter where the countdown is everything.

It is your health. At zero, you die.
It is your ammo. Every shot costs 0.3 seconds.
It is your money. Upgrades are bought with time.
It is your score. Survive for as long as you can.

Enemies die in one hit and return time when killed. Every shot is a wager: miss and you shorten your life; hit and you earn another moment.

Every fifteen seconds, choose between three upgrades. Build around extra projectiles, ricochets, explosive chains, faster firing, slower clock drain, and more. You can also skip the offer for a small time refund.

PANIC BUTTONS

• RAILGUN: Destroy everything in a line at the cost of 35% of your clock.
• SLIPSTREAM: Dash through every enemy on screen while leaving after images of yourself, at the cost of 55% of your clock.

Ability kills return no time. Survival always has a price.
