Debt Dump by Manan
Plot
The value of the U.S. dollar has become negative. The government has switched from physical currency to physical debt. To tax citizens, the U.S. now simply sends them a bunch of physical debt dollars. Instead of illegally taking people's money, criminals now illegally give people money. You play as a criminal throwing debt dollars at people while trying not to get caught.

How To Play
Use the WASD keys to walk and left click to throw debt. Avoid throwing debt into the white circles around police officers. Throw all of your debt at other citizens to advance to the next level.
This is my first Ludum Dare game, so it is not very polished (understatement of the year). It should, however, be playable ;).
Note
Some of the textures on the title screen are messed up in the HTML5 version, so I recommend playing the desktop version if possible.
I did not make the music for this game. It belongs to Kevin MacLeod.

I also liked that there is a level progression.
The controls felt a bit off at times (maybe because I played with a touchpad?)
, but otherwise great work!
Congratulations on making the game!
Check out my game if you like!

Started having trouble I think around level 5 because the US became (more of) a police state with more law enforcement than manageable, haha. I liked the crime caper mood, and the sudden switch to the police chase music when they spotted you.
