The .sh fail in the linux Download. Probably because of windows CR. Something like https://blog.lot-of-stuff.info/Divers/ludumdare/32/Run-45083.sh will be better.

I really like the screen graphics, but I don't think the background graphics helped. Overall it's a fun game and an interesting take on the theme.
I do not understand how to play and the goal of the game.
Really engaging and fun. I enjoy it a lot. It could be even better if there is more clear feedback of how the price changing
I didn't understand what to do. Looked cool though!
I love these kind f games. But I do not think it meets the theme, does it?
Very fun and addicting game. I found myself unable to stop playing!
FYI Chrome had a mini-temper tantrum about your Windows zip, might be because of your file host.
It was confusing at first how to play, but once I got it, I can only say it's an awesome concept. I love the idea of the unregulated capitalist market as a weapon, this is something truly unique - I love seeing hot takes like this in LD entries, a really creative interpretation of the theme.
Sound effects were minimalist and appropriate. Graphics were great, but hit and miss - the stock cards and the fonts were very appropriate, as is the "stock board" sort of thing. But I didn't like the background spriting.
I kept getting slaughtered in the game which tells me I should stay out of stock trading.
Anyway this is probably the most I've written on a review so far but I just think this is a remarkable concept. You should seriously continue developing this and extrapolate the mechanics. I could see it as a full indie game in the vein of Uplink or something (a lot like Introversion's earlier work really).
@Huo-cuo
You use large amounts of stock as a weapon to take down corporations? That was my idea anyways. It's up to you guys to rate it.
Also to people having trouble understanding the game, this might be of some use:

Thanks for the feedback!
Yup! Gonna play this one for a while.
cool idea, at first the interface felt a little cumbersome, but had a good flow to it as I played more. Like the others have said, had a bit of trouble trying to figure out how to bankrupt other companies, they seemed to be bankrupting themselves while I just waited.
This game is very original and I like it. A more explicit tutorial phase would have been better. The .sh file is corrupted with CRLF windows endings and some strange code.
The right code would have been something like this :
#!/usr/bin/env bash
java - jar CorrugatedFidelity.jar
I will tweet you with a gameplay and review video soon.
Interesting mechanic, much different from anything else I've seen during this jam. I like the graphics, and it's a pretty cohesive package. I think it did's a tutorial though. It's a bit hard to wrap your head around at first. Well done though.
For whatever reason I could not see the cards, so I was quite confused. I included it in part 3 of my Ludum Dare 32 compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/Q8RvVjW24Io
This actually made my display to reset and change H and V positions. It was a weird experience! :) Nice graphics though. BTW I got this error (Arch Linux x64):

Oh, nevermind, that error was probably due to not restarting computer after graphics driver update.
@6x13 lol scared me xD
Super fun! Really nice job with the interface - you managed to convey the concepts in a really intuitive way.
Very interesting concept
weirdly engaging I have no interest in the subject yet I continue to play and I don't know why!
I played this game longer than any other LD game so far, it took a while to get to grips with the gameplay. I won in my first attempt though! I like the trading mechanics. I think it would help to have a graph, or some log of the buy price.
Though it was a bit confusing on how to play, but the concept seemed awesome once I got it. Pretty well done ! And nice graphics !
Very interesting idea.
Great gameplay but it took me a lot of times to figure out how it all worked. Good job!
Pretty confusing at first but it gets better once you get into the swing of it.
very nice, difficult to undestand at first, but after I enjoyed, very innovative visuals too.
Cool game! I think that having and easy mode where there are indicators on if the stock is about to rise or fall might help with learning to play.
Super game!
A bit hard to get at first, but it can get addictive pretty soon once you've figured out how the UI works. Nice!
Interesting concept but very confusing interface. I understood once I watched the video in the description. Kind of nerve-wracking to watch your money burn up on a bad investment.
A surprisingly fun stock market game. Good job!
didn't expect to play this as long as i did. I really liked turning 10c into over 600,000c!
Wish there was more to the mechanics besides buy and selling. gets a little repetitive after a while.
doesn't run
@wademcgillis Could you be more specific please? E.g. what operating system are you running, errors when run from command prompt, etc. Thanks!
Very original concept, unconventional weapon indeed, but one used IRL! Nice work!
Surprisingly engaging gameplay! I was observing stock prices in tension and waiting for right moment to sell. Really nice idea and execution. Somehow minimalistic graphics and audio work for this game, set right tone.
BTW: yeah eclipse/java combo rules! ;D
