Really great to see the combination of a real life event with the theme! The game itself feels really well handled. At first I was bit confused though and some tooltips here and there would be a nice touch, although I was able to get into it really fast! Haven´t been able to get to the final boss yet, but I will make sure to take him down! Great job!

In what way does your game fit the theme?
The game "Reddit vs Wallstreet" is based on the real life events of Redditors banding together to bankrupt several Wallstreet hedgefunds by buying up Gamestop Stock! The Redditors were Stronger Together, only being able to accomplish such a feat by working as one!
Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
I wrote all of the code and my brother created the characters, but we did use background image assets to give the stages variety.

The game is fun, but I think that in a couple of years no one will remember about the jump in GameStop shares
Amazing assets! Felt very polished in some ways. Felt like the first few levels could have been a little easier to help ease you into the gameplay and upgrading. Otherwise I really enjoyed it!!
Dude I had some trouble opening this game up at first I thought I got virus lmao scared the hell outta me but after closing some stuff in task manager it worked just fine.
The game so far is really fun! Hilarious characters and abilities im gonna go finish beating the game but seriously nice job!
Also Elon OP
Hahah glad you got it working. Yeah the game is big because I actually did manage to create a somewhat full RPG game experience as I've done a few Jams before. My brother created graphics which took a lot of weight off me.
Good luck with the final boss haha! I recommend playing the desert level to gain some easy levels ;)
This game is surprisingly addicting. Even though the turn based battles are simple, the progression system was satisfying and kept me playing for a while. While the grind sometimes got annoying, the battles went fast.
My strategy of spamming Elon Musk worked well for the most part. Not many other games where you can say that.
This is hilarious with all these memes. Good work!
This is kind of fun (and funny). Only issue is I don't play turn-based games, as they're not my thing.
A tutorial would have been nice, instead of having to figure out what the controls are and hoping I survive the end of the round.
I really liked it. I haven't played it completely because I don't have much time but I laughed at first glance to the game's story and the artstyle of the characters.
The mechanics are simple but let's not forget that this was made in a week (and also they are well implemented to the theme)
Lol, could not stop laughing while playing. I like the memes. Nice game :)
Would love if you give mine a try
Hi! The OSX version is not working… any clues? I really liked the concept and want to play the game.
Oh, by the way, thx for creating a OSX version!
Thanks for letting me know about the Mac issues Struo! This was my mistake but is easily fixable. Essentially I built the game on Windows which removes executable permissions for Mac. To solve this you need to run this command in terminal on the application:
chmod -R 777 [applicationName].app
Sorry about that, let me know if this works!This game is really cool! It's just a simple turn based RPG with some really funny references and jokes based on the Reddit Wall Street thing, I'm all for it! I didn't finish it in one sitting but I'll definitely come back to it :)
I feel like your use of the theme is kinda borderline and isn't integrated into the game very well, but the game is still heaps of fun!
Really nice game I love all the small easter eggs and jokes integrated into the game (Mother's Basement with the Discord Mods is definitely one of the better ones. Overall really good game and well done especially for a game jam.
