Ok is this meant to be impossible? Because it FEELS impossible? Is that the point?
Regardless, Fantastic game! :)

Developer

It is possible...but perhaps quite difficult. Hopefully this highlights the scale of a billionaire's wealth! Glad you liked it :D

I found a strategy : invest EVERYTHING in Nile, and then lobby with nile until in jail, multiple times, and sell everything. 😈

Fun game!

Very creative! I liked all of the different options to buy/give away money. I did wish that the money didn't passively increase over time, as it felt almost impossible to meaningfully decrease your money with that happening

Developer

Thank you! The passive increase is actually due to the stock system, no money is being added extra - with more time I ought to make a better tutorial.

very creative and original

After playing for a bit i somehow made 5x the money i started with. honestly i don't even know what i was doing most of the time. That's probably on me for not knowing how the stocks worked. i wish the money in game wouldn't just increase passively. makes it hard to see the progress and the impact you've made. i love the core concept tho. has alot of potential.

This reminds me of a website where you spend all of bill gate’s money :D Good idea for the countdown theme, I enjoyed spending billions! Funny donation pitches though :D and oh I wanted the stocks to crash, but they kept rising :(

Couple of points:

  1. It could be more fun if certain donations have more weight on the criminal suspicion

  2. I am not sure if it was a bug, but in Stock if I do “Buy Max” then “Sell All” my net worth just exploded :D

Thanks for playing! 

1. That's a good idea :)

2. There were a couple of bugs I couldn't track down to do with the stock system, hope it didn't affect your enjoyment too much :D

Not at all, it was super fun, though I ended up with 2+e^31 something currency :D

If only trading in the real world were like this, I wouldn't be here haha.

Accidentally broke the game with stocks and ended up with like $1e156 . my bad . incredibly fun gameplay loop, would love to see some of the mechanics explored deeper if you tinker with this  idea in the future for a larger release!

This was a really clever concept with great execution!!! Good job!!

cleaver concept, absolutely loved playing it. could use some music though, but over all great work

Developer

Glad you liked it! There is music, maybe your volume wasn't up enough? It could also be a browser issue.

I enjoyed the charities tab, though I feel like I could make that money disappear a lot quicker in real life.
