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 notðŸ˜
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!
The music was so catchy lol also the visuals were so nice! Loved the dialogues too!
Interesting game about stocks.
It's really interesting you do a game that explains the mechanisme about stock markets and everything. Might be worth pushing it even further! The only thing is I couldn't see the effects of the Add on I was getting (teleprompter guy etc...). Are they supposed to appear somewhere?
There are two types of upgrades. The first adds a new business and all the others increase the prediction forecast that appears to the right of each stock, shown as green and red regions.
Thanks for your feedback, and thanks for playing!
Each click felt so satisfying, the amount of polish feels unreal.
Well I am bad at buying stocks so didnt do well here aswell :(
This is a nice representation of how I actually buy stocks and sell them in real life, haha
Anyway, good game, I liked the elements of diagetic UX the most - buttons on computer. This is one of the most creative way to engage player in the world of it. If you want to see something in the same direction (but not so strong like by you), you could check our game too
Incredibly well-polished game! It's outstanding, especially given the time constraints of the Jam.
Super fun! Your take on the count down theme was perfect. Very original and interesting.
This was so fun, and a great use of the theme!
Very cohesive work. Interesting concept.
What a nice twist of the countdown mechanic and I love the art style. If anything the buttons on the UI could be a bit bigger as they were hard to see on my monitor but otherwise awesome game!
