Burn capitalism trough this game make the mechanic satisfying
Music is a bop. Simple premise with some very intense swings.
A really simple game, but after a while I started feeling like I traded real stocks with the stress that comes with it x) Congrats ! The only thing I would've liked to see on top of that is a summary of all the stats I have to confirm that they increase/decrease :)
Felt like a true investor playing this
Fun concept, but I wish there was a little something more, maybe a way to influence stock trends during gameplay.
Great interpretation, it was fun ! What's the function used to generate the grid ? Did you use noise, or a hand-made function ?
Thanks! For the grid, I started with a base value. Every physics tick, which is 60 times per second, a coin is flipped with probability p to be a downward graph or probability 1-p for an upwards graph. Then, a random number is picked from 0% to x% to increase or decrease the previous value.
This enabled me to create the improvement system. If you choose to have a 6% higher chance for the graph to go down, the p of the coin flip is increased to match the graph going down 6% times more. If upward trends are 8% heavier, the random number from 0% to x% gets an 8% higher upper bound for upwards trends.
good idea, fun game.
Very creative the minimal ui seems to be great also very fun idea
That's a very creative idea and executed well!Nice reversal of usual stock goals and the minimalistic style works well!
Thanks! The minimalistic style is a personal constraint as I started doing game dev just last week. Since being a programmer is my day job, coding every pixel was easier than learning how to create and use sprites
Clever idea and fun to play. I had some trouble keeping track of buying vs selling when watching the ticker, maybe some other visual indicator near where I’m already looking would be nice. Cool interpretation of the theme for the jam!
Nice use of meme for the theme!
Losing all my money gambling has never been so difficult...
nice work
Love the twist of having to get rid of your investment in stocks in order to bankrupt yourself >:3
Really fun idea!
