Interesting idea! I enjoyed the humor. It was fun to see which stock you'd buy and wait for the price to hit a good time to buy it.

Love the gameplay, it was nice and simple. the concept was super original and fit the theme really well !! Great work Overall !! :D
I really like the concept, but it's lacking a bit of feedback I would say.
Maybe adding some music, curbs and FX when you buy/sell would make it feel more like a casino and makes it more enjoyable ^^
Great idea but execution leaves a lot to be desired. I think more player feedback is needed to actually understand whats going on in each round. Its still quite fun for me to mess around with even if its impossible for me to know what to do.
The random selling got me haha
That's a fun game, pretty different from other idle games. The story is pretty funny too xD
Hey ! I tried to play it but couldn’t understand how you were supposed to buy/sell
I updated the game's page with more information about this, but you can also read it below:
In the game you basically buy and trade stock randomly.
Buying
When you want to buy stock you get 3 different dice (could be 4 to 11 sided) which you grab and place on the three given places:
- the first one determines which stock you will buy from the 11 in front of you
- the second one determines the amount
- the third one is a multiplier for the amount.
For example if you get a 7 sided, 4 sided and 11 sided die and place them in this order, that means that based on the die rolls you could buy minimum 1 and maximum 44 stock from the first or the second... or the seventh option.
Selling
Selling is pretty simple. You can sell stock randomly from your collection by clicking on the button. This goes on until you run out of stock (then you can buy again) or you just simply don't want to sell more.
Goal
You can watch as the prices change and try to buy / sell accordingly to maximise your profit and earn a higher spot on the leaderboard.
The graphics are nice and the game design is fun. I appreciate the online leaderboards also! Great job! Maybe could use some sound.
Pretty good game, i would appreciate a description or instructions on how to play

Points for creativity! Although there's very little decision making, as the game itself points out.
As a casual crypto investor for few month, if this game is real life, I would have became millionaire at this point. I probably won't invest further knowing it is going to go down. But the game is very fun and simple. The dice concept is great, the story setup in the beginning is compelling. The stock are creative but it would be better to tell (Stock Index, buy count, buy multiplier) since most people might not know what it is. Anyway, awesome game, keep up the great work!
