Fun idea, it reminds me of an old table game from Hasbro, called: "Go For Broke!". Maybe if you want to expand the concept you could find some inspiration from that game. Fun little game, nicely done.

- A strange little game that I struggled to wrap my head around for some reason. But, for those who are better with economic chicanery, this flip-flop of the norm could be fun!

Wow, really thought the reverse stock buying idea was unique and cool! I enjoyed buying and then the sudden drop being exactly what I wanted, but just like the real stock market, it seemed to always do the opposite of what I wanted haha. Anyway, you did a great job making a pretty good stock simulator on a fun and fresh premise. One issue I would suggest fixing is that the game didn’t scale with my screen nor when I went full screen. I believe just adding a camera object to the main scene should fix this!
Overall, great job :)

Cognitive DissonanceInteresting take on the theme, really challenging me to try to lose money. Is there any special endings if you can get an A?
So far my "best" was a B

Burning BuildingI really like the fact that it's better to lose than to win, because it's like a game. I also like that I can easily redo the game, which makes me want to aim for a high score (maybe rank A is the best?). I also liked the feeling of wanting to aim for a high score (maybe rank A is the best?) because you can easily replay the game. It was fun!
損した方が良いっていうのはゲームぽくて凄く好きです。
気軽にやり直せるからついハイスコア（ランクAが最高でしょうか？）を狙いたくなる感じも良かった。
楽しかったです！

AI liked the concept, but it felt like the stocks were a bit too random to consistently win? Also, I couldn't do the math in my head fast enough to know when I was able to buy stocks; perhaps "buy max" and "sell max" buttons would help?

The Galaxy is FlatThank you for playing and that's right :) this game depends on random up&down rate, and sometimes player cannot control to rising certs.
'Cause I don't want to establish how to win this game. But It's better to provide the better (not best) way to win.
And why "buy max " and "sell max" buttons is not exist is for cost, makes it not to be easier to control money.
The less you have the harder is it is to lose more. My instinct to make a profit kept my scores low in this game. Fun!

less is more
