How does the game fit the theme?
The game was first formed under the idea of stocks as the ultimate form of risking it for the biscuit. From there we decided to build an environment that would constantly have you risking your resources of time and money to maximize your profits.
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
All the sounds used was taken off of Freesound.org and OpenGameArt

I really enjoyed playing your game, the concept is very creative. Great job!
This game is amazing!!! The attention to details is astonishing and the shrimp mode is funnn xD Visually I really enjoyed the windows xp style, the minigames felt hectic and kept me going a fast pace of doing math, eating the cookies and investing my money. I really enjoyed it, well done!!
This is a really polished game, well done !
Nice game, really fun and unique, great job!
I like a concept, keep going to finish it!
I really enjoyed it! Cool mini games. Good job! Keep up the good work guys! :)
Omg, this is such a cool game. First of all, the ui is beautiful, I somehow enjoyed the settings more than i did the main game (the game is amazing, just the settings where perfect), and you somehow replicated the feel perfectly! The game feels highly polished and unique. suggestions;
Great job! I would buy the os alone
Really liked the aesthetics! Very cool game, you can really see the effort and polishing into this
This deserves way more ratings then it currently has. Such nice aesthetics, chill vides even though you're constantly being hacked XD . The mini games are fun. Right now the major criticism I have is once you have enough to buy the stocks the mini games become less relevant. Nonetheless great job and I hope you guys continue to work on this project
This really hearkens back to those early days in 2002 when hackers had to infect computers with malware to get people to answer their math questions for them. Nowadays, they can just head on over to their neighborhood LLM and ask it to roleplay as Number Shrimp to get all their figures sorted out.
I didn't know what I was supposed to do for the email minigame. The rest all seemed fair for a WarioWare-type minigame. The "Shrimp" mode definitely helped me divine the future of the fish market. It's a shame they no longer support it in modern OS's.
Wow, really nice work!
The OS vibe is great! Super unique idea for the theme.
can I update my PC to this OS? Great variation of mini games loved them all! Growing up with windoes 95 this was nice to see. The Shrimp char is also sooo cute!
Quick Suggestions:
Well done!
Forget Windows, I'm switching to ShrimpOS right now!
I saw shrimp themed game, thought it had to be good. I'm glad it was good. I enjoyed the old desktop and general vibe.
This is a gem, the whole feel of the game is so well done and the minigames are very intuitive. Highly recommended experience overall
This was very nice. The starting screen scared me a little but overrall the game was really well made!
To the meme stocks and all the different tasks! Im intrested in how you got the shrimpy voice?
One of my friends voiced him. we used audacity to pitch up and bit crush the audio
Haha, this is awesome! The shrimpy tutorial is so funny. This was like an acid trip Mario party game in all the best ways.
Switching between the windows each time works pretty nicely, and it works well with the timer to add some pressure, and the visuals are cool ! GG
Really cool idea, I loved the art and honestly just super well made, loved the voice lines, ambient music, visuals, title and just overall concept. Great game and could easily see it done outside of a game jam - that said, a more interactive tutorial would have been nice
