Inner Demons (LD47)

Semi experimental strategy game about fighting ones inner demons and escaping vicious cycles of self loathing.  Inner Demons attempts to explore ideas such as consumerism as a device to combat or hide from negative thoughts.  

The game is played with your mouse. Drag items down to the large box below them to snap them to a grid in this item management & deck building inspired Ludum Dare 47 entry.  Drag them back out of the inventory onto your demons to gain a 1 off effect, or keep them in your possession to gain an advantage over time.  To stop the aggressively snowballing demon attack damage, build up the perfect combination of goods to survive the onslaught and achieve total victory.

Your goal is to survive the demons onslaught while dealing 99 damage to them.  Each turn you are given some money to buy items with (by dragging it to the square below the shop).  When you buy an item, you gain its attack and block bonus immediately, and at the start of each round for as long as you hold that item in your inventory.  You can also use your items, by dragging them on to the enemy demons.  Doing so grants its block bonus again as a 1 time effect.  Some items also refund for cash to use on the next buy phase, or you may want to simply free space in your inventory.
