Nice job on the game. I enjoyed watching your livestream.

2015-12-14 01:35

I watched most of your livestream and i would love to watch it all but timezone diffrence is huge. This is one of the most addictive games i have ever played. This game really deserves to be a full game. I recommend everybody to play this game.

martins74 2015-12-14 01:36

Really adicting and funny game. I loved watching the livestream.

2015-12-14 01:37

Hi quill im watching you stream right now just wanted to say hi

galacticglum 2015-12-14 01:38

Awesome stream, great job :)

2015-12-14 01:40

Watched the stream and honestly, this game is pretty fantastic for being made in 48 hours. The game has a lot of replay value, strategy, and decent interface. Great job Quill!

2015-12-14 01:44

Well done, good sir! Pretty nice game. As always, enjoyed watching the stream and all the fun of the creation process! Hope your game gets all attention it deserves.

2015-12-14 01:56

Great game. Simple and fun with some replay potential!

2015-12-14 02:15

For 48 hours this game really has a lot of depth and polish. It is simple, fun and addictive. Quill is an amazing guy and watching him code this game was a great way to spend my weekend. Great Job!

swedishpancaces 2015-12-14 02:28

I had an absolute blast watching your live stream. It's a really nice game that could be potentially sold as is!

2015-12-14 02:34

Super fun game! I enjoyed watching you on stream!

2015-12-14 02:38

Spectacular game, nice and simple, well built, nice UI, could use some more content but that is expected with how much time you had!

2015-12-14 02:42

Love the game! Very Fun! My best rank is SS.

2015-12-14 02:51

Great Game!

2015-12-14 03:08

Great job Quill! Loving that 'qwat' sound thing you have for tile placement xD

swedishpancaces 2015-12-14 03:12

Really like the game. This is very much my type of game!

huginn18 2015-12-14 03:18

Nice Job.
In my opinion this is your best LD entry.

2015-12-14 03:39

Would love to see this someday on Steam Greenlight or in the Android App Store. Strategic and re-playable. Great game for a 48 hr project!

superpokeunicorn 2015-12-14 03:40

You've outdone yourself with this one. Please put this on IOS! I wanna play this on the bus.

evannex 2015-12-14 03:56

Great game as expected :D

superdolfy 2015-12-14 04:07

I love the game but I am just so confused about all the different bonus's and colors of the cards.

sketchygalore 2015-12-14 04:16

Very cool result! With a bit of tweaking, I could easily see this as a fun full game.
I didn't watch much of this weekends livestream (I get distracted too easily) but I wanted to say thanks for encouraging people to take part last weekend. I was going to skip it, but I'm glad I didn't!

kakureta 2015-12-14 04:37

Pretty neat game! it's cool to see something as polished as this. Nicely done :)

unraveledmnd 2015-12-14 05:14

Quite a fun game! The livestream was great too.

jacksonskinghotmail-co-uk 2015-12-14 05:14

Sweet game man. I don't get the little square icon in the middle, is that 1 million or something?

jackyjjc 2015-12-14 06:09

I was watching your stream while working on my own game, great stream and very fun game! I think the only problem is the tiles are too random so I failed in the beginning and I have to use bail out. However, it was a very fun experience overall. Like the others said, mobile version please! :)

treepunchers 2015-12-14 06:17

Enjoyed checking up on this while I was making my game - the end result of yours is quite enjoyable and very polished.

johngalt 2015-12-14 06:25

A lot of interesting cards. Focus on strategy is great. Definitely will come back play more times.

lugalias 2015-12-14 08:14

Wonderful! I listened to your steam as background music/a distraction and I knew before I played the game that it would be addicting. Wonderfully made, deserves to be at the very top!

gunn3rboi 2015-12-14 08:48

good strategy game, im not the best at these type of games so i didn't do to well but still fun.

2015-12-14 09:36

Awesome game, this should be in the top 20, if not in the top 5

thegrandhill 2015-12-14 10:35

Why no audio category? Music is catchy and feelgood!

2015-12-14 12:36

The music is really annoying. Thank's Quill there is an option to disable it.

Otherwise, very addictive game and solid mechanics. Some images are blury, that's a tiny "-". And the sounds/music are clearly letting the game down.

Solid game, will play again!

itsfrank 2015-12-14 12:43

Really clean interface and compelling game congrats!

timeshapers 2015-12-14 13:20

Loved the stream, helped me work on my own game. And love the game, simple and fun.

taffaz 2015-12-14 13:49

Well done Quill, I enjoyed watching you make this while making my own entry. Great game, you should keep working on it and release it.

icereci 2015-12-14 14:04

I got B grade. No worries. Still a fun game. A bit ambitious for compo. Also enjoyed the stream.

ildfuglen 2015-12-14 14:16

Great submission, Quill! Really enjoyed this one, has a lot of depth and was an overall enjoyable experience!

The graphics were very coordinated, felt a lot like a proper board game.

Thanks for a great experience :)

bazkur98 2015-12-14 14:45

Love this game! Tidy it up a bit and you have a game to sell sir. For the record, I got Grade S. Is that good or bad? https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-ffmjRLPVRET1N2R3RNQ2pJWGs/view?usp=sharing

zonc 2015-12-14 15:05

Great game!

oskardevelopment 2015-12-14 16:13

Awesome game! Loved the idea! Couldn't figure out the adjacent symbols though, would've liked them to be a tad clearer / larger! Good luck!

maartene 2015-12-14 16:35

Amazing that you were able to create this in under 48 hours! This is a complete game, great polish, lots of depth. An inspiration to us all.

djdudes100 2015-12-14 16:48

Great game quill

sharp911 2015-12-14 17:12

I really am enjoying your game making tutorials and therefor always check your LD games. Thank for doing a great job.

boltkey 2015-12-14 17:46

Absolutely brilliant job. You rock.

chrras 2015-12-14 18:21

Fantastic game - best game you've made so far. The other were definitely good, especially Drill18, but this is simply better :)

aKiss4Luck 2015-12-14 18:21

Just one more try; I'll get more money this time. KK, One more try: better stock prices this time. No, I surely have time for one more game? I want to pay out better dividends too! I finally got an A grade. Now, gotta find out if I can do it again. Then I'll get breakfast. :D

wevel 2015-12-14 18:49

Good game, I like how you can see how well you have done at the end.

dusho 2015-12-14 19:18

nice game..
also fun to watch you stream your fight with Unity :)

2015-12-14 19:22

Great game Quill18 :D

officialcodenmore 2015-12-14 20:23

I liked the sound effects, and it was a brilliant idea, well executed!

liquidmedia 2015-12-14 22:13

Great Game I want it on my phone

wizzardmaker 2015-12-14 22:34

Great Game! Lots of fun.

mintarcade 2015-12-14 22:49

Great fun. Nice entry. And thank you for livestream.

yamzho 2015-12-14 22:53

Great entry ! Typically the kind of game I would play for ever, and ever, and ever...

uheartbeast 2015-12-14 23:01

Very well done. I enjoyed this game quite a bit. The UI could use some cleanup but I understand the time limitation and that you probably didn't have time for that. Very much worth a play. I'd love to see this for android.

psychomonster 2015-12-14 23:08

After the second try, the game feels more and more controlable. I like the card games idea and balancing... cool game!

masterkrepta 2015-12-14 23:10

fun game, i wish i was able to catch more of the live stream but i was busy most of the weekend.

alexlamarche 2015-12-15 00:10

Truly a masterpiece. I hope this gets number 1!

trexmix 2015-12-15 00:33

A great game, even if you compare it against non-LD games. Really enjoyed this.

superdude 2015-12-15 01:14

Very nice, probably the most polished game I've seen you do for Ludum Dare.

smealum 2015-12-15 02:06

had a hard time playing this because of my high DPI screen and the fact that text did not scale up. would be great if that could be fixed !

rscar 2015-12-15 04:10

I liked it! And watching you make it! I felt like I didn't really have a reference point for what's a "good" score as I was playing, so I wasn't entirely sure what I was working towards. But I can appreciate the fact that this makes it very replayable. And the execution of your concept was spectacular, feels very polished.

bazz_boyy 2015-12-15 07:23

Hey, the game is okay; I didn't understand how to play so I spammed stuff and got a b+. Runs very nice though. Well done

ajopart 2015-12-15 07:44

Great game ! Amazing in 48 hours

flatpivot 2015-12-15 08:00

It's really good

georgebroussard 2015-12-15 08:54

Solid entry and well polished. Can't say I fully understood all the strategy but that was my fault :) Satisfying to place cards, see things grow and happen. Played 3-4 games and 450m was my best valuation.

epicruins195 2015-12-15 09:30

Excellent game, one of the best I've seen so far. Simple but deep game play that rewards you for thinking ahead and setting up synergistic combinations of tiles. The game itself also feels well made and is enjoyable to play. Great work!

nuvleargames 2015-12-15 09:51

Nice game. I liked the music. I would definitely but this game if it was worked on more

alek345 2015-12-15 11:51

I really enjoyed the game. Seems really balanced and planned out. This should really be worked on further. Good job!

bemmu 2015-12-15 13:24

Possibly the best game of LD so far when it comes to actually wanting to go back and have just... one... more... game...

boltkey 2015-12-15 13:30

I just got 3.367 and rank S. I think I won. In the end, I had 5 hostile takeovers and got about 24 extra months. I think additional months are a bit overpowered (and hostile takeovers too).

saymon 2015-12-15 14:25

Cool game !

linus123xbb 2015-12-15 16:57

Great job on this game, it was a lot of fun to watch the livestream whilst developing my game. The music was too repetitive in my opinion, but the concept and all the small details was awesome.

david-cookie 2015-12-15 22:24

Really great and innovative concept! Well polish and lots of features :o I was a little lost but there's a good potential here! GG

tweedle 2015-12-15 22:26

The viral video spreading was super cool and great replayability overall, nice work!

captainred_ 2015-12-15 22:37

cool game however it gets quite repetitive and lacks some more gameplay.

elit3dgaming 2015-12-15 23:04

Watched you stream most of it, great job on the game turned out great :)

johnwatmuff 2015-12-16 01:55

very polished for the 48 hrs

blohod 2015-12-16 02:57

Nice game, but text on unplaced tiles was very hard to read. i got a B+

gv1351 2015-12-16 10:58

Good game I just think there should have been a tutorial level?

kunonooni 2015-12-17 01:26

Another LD and another great game by you. I watched the stream from time to time to see how you were doing while I was working on my own game. You've created so many great games that you need to work on post compo and release on Steam or itch.io. You are a very talented programmer and game developer. I wish I was half as good as you are! Congrats on another well done LD.

pjimmy 2015-12-17 11:08

awesome strategy game, fun and creative, feels very professional, well done

peachtreeoath 2015-12-18 06:06

Very addicting, though viral vids seem a bit OP.

dustoutgames 2015-12-18 06:27

I really enjoyed this. You put together a really solid system of mechanics that makes a fun and challenging experience. The only critiques I have are that I found the music just a touch repetitive, and I had an instance or two of a tile placing when I scrolled the map. I can't consistently reproduce that one though, so I wouldn't count it. Also it seemed like all your sound effects were vocal, and I thought that was a cool touch.

stmatn 2015-12-18 14:31

Nice game!
The viral video was fun ;)

2015-12-18 19:47

great game, just found out theres an "S" rank. thought A+ was the highest but i guess not! Is there a rank higher than "S"? i got 2910 for final stock, and can't see getting much higher

tragon288 2015-12-19 14:15

Very nice game. There should be a dwarf mine though ;)

ogniok 2015-12-19 17:02

Very nice and fresh idea. I like games like this one. Good entry. :)

2015-12-19 18:20

great mechanics!

versatilebox 2015-12-20 01:50

It's a good game. I'm a huge fan of tycoons (it's my favorite genre, actually) and I think this one could be really good, but I don't like the fact that it's too short. Maybe it could be short, but let me keep playing. Maybe make it easier to lose. I didn't find it actually challenging.

I'm giving it 4/5 though, because I really liked the concept.

ethankennerly 2015-12-20 16:21

When I recognized the number on the right side represented increase in stock price, I felt focused on the simulation. If you continue to develop this, at first, I wasn't sure which cards I could select or not, and I couldn't read the text for "Chemical" type or other types.

_benhumphries 2015-12-21 00:51

Nice job on the game. It looks great, but it's not really my type of game.

nlbi21 2015-12-21 08:17

Nice game quill i like it :D

antisc2 2015-12-21 13:01

One of the better games I have played during a Ludum Dare. Really nice job once again quill!

drauthius 2015-12-22 11:03

C+, suits me to a T. Very interesting concept, and it was quite fun as well. I do enjoy board games, and it really feels like one.

ghostbomb 2015-12-28 21:28

This would make a pretty fun board game. I got an A for my final grade.

klianc09 2015-12-28 22:43

Really like this game, played it several times, but just can't get better than a B+. I like the fact how you have to balance short-term goals (monthly income) with long-term goals (stock-price). The music got a tad repetitive tho. And some of the text on cards is unreadably tiny if you're not in fullscreen.

2015-12-29 09:29

Can you put this on Adroid ? That be great.

flannelvindicate 2015-12-29 17:05

You were featured on Ludum Dare to Believe! Check it out! - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9tXmMvEBfI

yazara 2016-01-03 00:23

Awesome game, Quill. I've downloaded the android version and played it a lot, so here are some things I would work on if you continue the project (which you absolutely should).
- Finance Dept. is way overpowered.
- There should be a less random way to gain extra months, since they are the strongest addition you can buy.
- Maybe an option to pay money to get a new set of cards would decrease the randomness.
- Zoom on android doesn't really work, otherwise this would be a great mobile game.
- You should prevent having two of the same cards to chose from.
I'm curious how high you will score and how the future of your game will look like :)

2016-01-24 15:03

If you add a bit more more to it I think it would be one of my faveourite games. It is a bit short but the consept is alwesome
