This game is quite funny. I like all the little details thrown in there!
Liked the detailed surroundings and the office aesthetics. Well-polished controls, and the game as a whole. :)
Congrats! <3
really liked how the mouse followed the hand's position or relative to it. small little details but it's details like this that definitely add to an experience. overall enjoyed it and found it to be entertaining.
I'm really bad at the game, haha, but it is fun and quite a different idea. Nice one!
I was this close to making a game about short selling stocks, but I'm glad I went with something else because I don't think I would've pulled it off with this much polish!
This is one of the more original ideas in this game jam, it is pretty polished too for the time. It was very fun to play.
Thank you! I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
Gambling is awesome.
Small detail: I love the controls moving the mouse as well as the cursor. Aside from that, I had lost of fun, the music is great and the pace is frantic!
fun game !! it was nice to maybe learn a little about shorting stocks lol, fun UI and overall game feel. i think my favorite part was actually the music tho, u killed it !!
You flatter me! ❤️
I really like the room details, and how the hand/mouse move in relation to the player's mouse. Also I thought the sticker on the computer was a nice touch!
Ah, good ol'
gamblinginvesting in your future!Nice little entry, I could feel like a real stock market player! Also the room's design is very nice with all those little decorations.
Keep up the good work!
The art is great! Well done!
Nice game! The visuals are great!
I am not usually somebody to play games about stock, but I did still really like this. I especially like the art and all the little details, like the hand moving with the mouse. The Music is also really nice.
I really enjoyed this game! I liked the upgrade where you can see slightly into the future, it helped me understand the general movements of each company from afar if I was currently focused on another. Love the vibes :)
Really fun and a great fit for the theme! It's so overwhelming to try and follow all the charts, in a funny way! No way I'm shorting stock irl though, clearly I don't know what I'm doing xD
An unusual idea for an incremental game! The storyline about someone nearing retirement age is also a very original take on the jam theme. Great work!

Really cool! Didn't manage to make a million, but it's okay ! I still had fun
Really addicting game, but I never managed to get to a million. I thought if I turned off the screen the bad trade would go away - sadly not😭
The game is really polished, love the screen effect and the mouse following the movement - really nice touches. Music was great - fit the look and gameplay perfectly. Great game!
