Nice little game, a little history graph would have made it awesome :)

mcapraro 2013-12-20 23:34

awesome idea for a game, i could totally see adding a character that guides you through this and having some fun events (like stockmarket crashes, etc)

velro 2013-12-20 23:34

Had a similiar idea, glad someone did it.

Nice game. The start is really difficult and the interface don't help much. I think that the game would be much easier to understand with only round numbers. i made something like 5k when i understand it. we should have a penalty when we pass a day.

It's a start, but a bit too random to motivate me for a longer time. With some improvements this could become an addicting quest for more money ;)

I wasn't too fond of the rounding, but it was a nice fun game.

I'm really bad with numbers. :) Something pushed me to try again and again, but i had difficulties with the rythm - often waiting for the prices to rise - As mcapraro said, i think it could be really really fun with some events.

Interesting game but the round rules make the start too long and difficult. After that it almost not affect gameplay so why implement it ?

dqmhose 2013-12-22 20:43

I love the idea! Keep it up, this good be one hell of an addicting game :D

spelchan 2013-12-22 21:48

The user interface needs a huge amount of work.

xanjos 2013-12-22 21:50

Pretty good take on the theme. And I agree with what mcapraro said about adding some random events to make things even more interesting

crabman 2013-12-22 22:22

Well, that was weirdly addictive... Made my first 1,3 million in just under 10 years :D

Had a hard time with the GUI, it needs some work. Otherwise I think it's quite a nice game.

stmatn 2013-12-28 23:12

Nice work!
This game has shown me, why I never event want to think about stock market :D After seeing my naked gred, I needed to stop :P
A goal would have been nice. Maybe you could have only one year to make your only one dollar into enough money to buy that only one massive diamond ring for your only one girl;)

As mentioned above, the GUI isn't really intuitive.
However after I noticed the "Sell" tab it became clearer,
maybe you could have made the Tabs in colour.
Once I understood that, it got interesting.
I think some feature helping are knowledge of the probability that something will rise would help.
I can see a lot of potential game-play here, the main idea is good.

Complicated user interface ( GUI ) :/
But good idea. Nice work ! ;)

This was strangely addicting. It took a while to figure out how to maximize my profits, but I was soon riding Beiberbonds to the top of the stock trade. Good work on this.

archaeometrician 2013-12-29 02:18

Hehe cool entry :) I bought a lot of bieberbonds and got ruined almost immediately :P

01rafael 2013-12-29 02:20

I'll be rich with this! )))
just a little workout, and I'll be ready to make a real money )

This is an excellent thing for a market in a game. It's so good. You could have people trying to game the market for a long time. Took me a few tries before i started figuring out it's better to wait. :D More varaibles and risks are better in the stock market too. Graphs, news reports from the companies that have stock, and other kinds of options for invensting those precious dollars. gj.

It could maybe use some more mechanics (though nothing in particular comes to mind), but it's still pretty fun.

joekinley 2013-12-29 22:16

What an addictive little game. But everytime I bought stuff it kept falling and NEVER rising back in value.
All in all I hovered around 10-20 dollars, only once had around 300.

I liked it alot. Could be kinda clearer in the interface, and more accessible, but all in all I liked it.

plancien 2014-01-03 22:37

Agree with a lot of others : you should work on UI. This game has an addictive potential.
