Die Rich is a top-down arena survivor where death is the plan.

Enter the pit with disposable gear and a belt of potions. Survive escalating waves under a ticking timer. Level your weapon during the run. Scoop monster parts into a growing loot pile while the crowd cheers — and throws gold.

When you fall, you don't lose the haul. You return to the dungeon: sell loot, brew potions, buy a new loadout, and dive back in richer than before.

Made for GMTK Game Jam 2026 — theme: COUNT DOWN.

Every wave is a countdown. Clear the arena and cash the leftover seconds… or ride the timer to the next fight. The only way out is death — so make sure you die rich.
