A game with a great sense of humour. :P The best part of the experience is without a doubt reading the options xD
Glad you enjoyed them, we had fun putting them together. Thanks for playing!
Noice :D
I liked the humor of the game and its concept. An interesting implementation of the jam topic. Good job :)
Thanks for playing!!!
Hilarious xD But also I had no idea how to determine which option would result in what purpose and got fired in the end. Not very clear as to what does what and how to achieve your desired results.
Thanks for playing and the feedback glad you enjoyed the humour. The outcome and 'winning' is less important and more the experience in itself.
Haha ok fair enough :P Kinda like stonk!
Fun little concept. I thought the quit job button would be funny especially since the rest is full of meme references, sadly it just froze and I had to restart. lol nice game, good job
Thanks for the feedback and for playing. That button was meant as an exit game button, I can see why it was confusing. In the HTML version it doesn't do much.
Cool game! I like the laid-back music and atmosphere of the game. Even after trying like 5 times I still couldn't tank the stock (I was at $1 for two of the runs) but it kept me engaged for a long time and it was still really fun. Great job!
Thanks for playing and the feedback. Appreciate your giving it a few run throughs, there are multiple outcomes questionable whether you consider that 'winning'.
it's fine, it's funny, what works is arbitrary tho
I LOVE this one! It's great visually and very well polished, plus I love the idea and the humour. It was fun trying out the different options and seeing what happens. I was finally able to tank the stock on my 3rd try! >:D
Ah thanks we're glad you enjoyed it, thanks for playing and the feedback. Your a certified trader now!
Loved it! At first I thought it's too complex for me, cause I'm not really interested in that stuff. But then I instantly understood what to do! So props to you! I really liked the different jokes and the music.
Only thing that I felt, was a bit weird was, that it was very hard to lose.
Thanks for playing and the feedback! We're glad you enjoyed it. Without giving any spoilers away I guess that depends on what you consider winning and losing.
Looks and sounds great but I genuinely think I am too thick to play it
:)
Glad you enjoyed it! There's not much to it really, just click some buttons and stuff might happen. We'll make a trader of you yet ;)
It did make me laugh because I started a "Brewsters Millions" type game for this Jam but got lost in the maths,
.. then today I saw this and realised my idea of the stock market was that of a 5 year old :)
"just click buttons and stuff will happen" isn't really all that fun game mechanic, i felt like i was completely out of control and my victory or defeat would depend solely on chance. and that's a little frustrating
your jokes and references are pretty funny though, the sound design is pretty good, and so are the visuals
Thanks for checking out the game and glad you enjoyed the humour!
That's fair analysis, it's a very different kind of game than either of us are used to making and it certainly won't be for everybody.
Umm, i'm honestly not sure what to say about this one??? Good game
Umm, i'm honestly not sure what to say about this one??? Good game
Aha, thanks I think? If we managed to bamboozle you we probably did our job!
It was still fun, and hilarious, just hard to understand. And the facial expressions were great.
Nice one, well glad you like it!
Some pretty funny options here. I wonder if the growth value assigned to each option is the same between playthroughs or if it's random.
Thanks for playing! there's a few different outcomes depending on your playstyle.
Awsome game :) Good job!
Thanks, glad you liked it!
Defenetley the best and funniest game i've played so far. I totally underestimated how goot story-based games can be! Keep on going.👍
Thanks so much for saying so, really glad you enjoyed it!
LOL! That's hilarious. I laughed at the option to "Invest in Unity" - if I were ever going to short a stock, it would be that one.
Glad you got a kick out of it! We had quite a lot of fun getting all those options down as well.
Thanks for checking it out!
