It is truly a new way to play, using a stock market and investment concept is something that is rarely seen in order to concentrate on the theme of "stronger together". Excellent innovation and gameplay, we have never seen anything like this before.

Maybe the game will become more entertaining with a much more developed interface, but it is an idea for the future that I would love to see completed.

A great idea that turns out to be attractive and original.

Good luck and keep up the good work!!!!

Hey guys, we're planning a big game tonight at 9pm Eastern time! Hopefully we can get 10 or more people in the same game! If everyone joins right at 9 we will probably all be in the same server. Let's beat the bots

Super cool entry, although I'm glad I didn't have to download anything because I low-key thought there'd be bitcoin-mining malware inside of it lololol. Visual presentation could be a bit better though, I think the thumbnail especially is not drawing a lot of people in

Haven't got a chance to try it out with my friends but the bots really get the job done, the secret updates are pretty funny too though I'm not sure if they do anything gameplay-wise? I think you could definitely expend this into a full marketable game with very little effort :)

Thanks for the feedback! The news updates actually are important, good news increases the fundamental value of a stock and bad news decreases it. That changes the dividends each stock offers, and also some bots prefer to trade on fundamentals (each bot has a mix of preferences from hype, momentum, and fundamentals) AND positive news also adds hype so watching the news ticker can be quite profitable. 🚀🚀🚀

Definitely agree with you on the presentation, there are two of us working on fomo loco and neither one of us is very skilled with UX design. Universal Paperclips was an inspiration to us and it is very bare bones, so we were shooting for a similar look.

Really cool take on the theme.
I like that you play with other players in real time.

Very cool concept! I was having fun, but for some reason it would suddenly restart the game and make me pick a new name and start over.
