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.

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!

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!
