I really like the music! It's very retro! I ended up getting like -600$, so probably the day trading life is not for me.
Great work though!

How does the game fit the theme?
Your crazy retail trader friend tries to give you advice on where the stock market will go, but he's kind of hit or miss.
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
I used an LLM to provide C++ boilerplate code, function formatting, and debugging assistance, which I then reviewed, integrated, compiled, and tested.
I also used the Butano library to help make the game.
All art, UI, narrative writing, and original music were hand-crafted by me.

You should tell r/wallstreetbets this - they might even learn a thing or two not gonna lie.
Since this is game made for GBA, why don’t try it on real GBA emulator :D
This is the kind of game I always excited to see in game jam! small game with interesting premise with some cool concept they want to deliver, in this case is trading simulation made for GBA console.
Since the gameplay time for each session is quite short but have randomness aspect of trade price fluctuation, the replaybility of this game quite good. It makes me try again many time just to get good high score, also maybe because I kinda love “gambling” game ehm like gacha game ehm so it really fun to try again and again until I feel satisfied with my RNG and score.
If there is something I kinda love to change is the white text on bright yellow background. For me it makes the text isn’t comfortable to read. But it’s just a very minor complaint for me.
Playing this game makes also want to make game with more low level language like C++, maybe I will consider it for my next game jam.
Again, I really love your submssion it really fun to play this game :3

IT IS! That’s why I always want to do retro dev, because making physical cartridges is simply unmatched, and I think there’s definitely going to be more demand for them too!
