—A wave-based arcade shooter where between waves you visit a shop with prices that increase with each purchase/rental. Keep your combo high and grab as many coins as you can, and you can delay the inevitable. Powered by GZDoom.
DI: Debt is Inevitable
Steam
Each wave will feature larger quantities of enemies, where you must keep a high combo and grab as many coins as you can in order to maximize your profits each round. Memorization of the level's waves and learning each weapon are also key to delaying the inevitable. Reaching the "final" wave will just start it back from the beginning, but even more hectic than before. You cannot escape your demise.

The shop contains everything you need to help you survive, at prices you cannot afford. Here, you can find health, weapons, armor, consumables, powerups, and passive upgrades. Each purchase from the shop increases that item's future prices, so if you're not careful, you may soon find yourself with empty pockets, and a mountain full of debt.
Your deaths and failures in DI will not be in vain, as each run will help you unlock new levels, characters, items, and mechanics that will be available in future runs. Each unlock that you acquire can change the way you play the game dramatically. There's no shortage of things to discover in DI.
