At first I was like: this is crazy hectic what in the world was going on, then I remembered the theme, so yeah aha fits perfect. Very very chaotic. Solid!

The snails activated all my neurons, it was a ton of fun! Got 790 lol
Agree with others on the music, definitely adds to the stress. I also liked the 2 minute time limit, made it feel more urgent.
I’d like to try it with more frequent price changes and a larger board of snails to really make it chaotic.
Pretty fun and a good take on the theme!
I loved the sound design, the music made it so stressful somehow, which added to the experience. I only wish there was something that congratulated you or boo-ed you if you ended with more or less than 500 pebbles by the end.
After the time runs out, even though the restart and main menu screens appear, we could still buy and sell to make profit. I think you forgot a statement like "disable player interaction when the panel is open" probably just a small coding slip-up haha.
The music in the main menu and the background image fit so well together, it’s perfect! Including the “how to play” section inside the game was a great idea. Also, the game fits the theme nicely and is quite creative.
Stocking cheap snails, watching the market, taking risks, and then selling those snails back at a high price within two minutes that’s a brilliant idea! I genuinely felt like a Black Rock American company CEO.
I really enjoyed the chaotic yet logical gameplay; the mechanics are well-designed and fun. Great job!

Iconic. The snail stock exchange is exhilarating.
