How does your game fit the theme?
In my game 'Just Get Stonks', you are broke and have to "just get started" trading in the stock market!

Really Nice and fun Game, I really wish it was that easy to get money on the stock market, I see potential use for a Economy Class

I really like it, I got millions

The visuals and UI system is really great and so is the sfx! 

I was really impressed with the graph and the news that effect it

Good job!

I was left wanting more, the game ended very quickly. The presentation was really, really nice tho.

I think I got lucky, because one of the shares dropped to $1, I spent all my money on it and in a short time it went up to $400 and I finished the game xD

I almost fell on the ludopathy again, this game was adicting to be honest, I really enjoyed it. I kind of expend almost 10 minutes though, turns out, always betting on bitcoin is not a good idea.

Haha I’m glad you liked it. Different categories have different volatility (unpredictability) and Crypto has very high volatility!

I wish real day-trading was this easy, love the theming of the interface

It probably goes against the gameplay loop you want, but it would be cool to set buy/sell limits (that might push it into more of an auto game than a clicker game though)

More fun than Dope Wars back in the days. Wish I could track multiple stocks at once though haha.

And I lost 500K riding the 1 dollar penny stock hahahah.

Insanely good. Simple idea executed perfectly. This would slap so hard as a mobile game if it was fleshed out just a little more.

Nice idea and really well executed! Going into it I felt a bit hesitant because usually I'm really bad with these kinds of games but managed to figure it out pretty quick. 
Game was a bit too easy though and I managed to win within a minute or 2

I’m glad you were able to get into it so quick haha. Yeah for future updates I definitely need to add features so that the game can’t be completed so quickly.

Amazing art, amazing gameplay, amazing sounds!  Honestly the only bad thing about it is that it was a little too easy.  At the start I did struggle a bit making the cash to buy stocks, but once you get a couple of shares and the passive income starts coming in, it really pays for itself even if the stock crashes.

Awesome game though!

Thank you for playing my game and I appreciate the feedback! It seems like other people also think it’s too easy haha. I think in the future I will add features to make it longer and a little bit harder to speed run ;)
