A very fun and pleasant game that I like. The music compliments the fun gameplay and the game mechanics fit the theme nicely. However it would be nice if the bitcoin price changes were a bit ( really "small" a bit) faster.

well done game, played it for quite a while :) Also I didn't exactly get how you used the theme because the money didn't feel bad.

Nice gameplay loop. Game felt polished. Fun little minigames.

Cool pixel art & nice narrative! Cool little game you've made here!

It's really well done, felt polished and all.

I played it for a while, but i didn't quite get how the theme fit in.

The original idea is that money isn't necessarily bad for the player, but it's bad for the economies that the player's trying to put the money into as it ultimately brings them to their downfall. I notice this is going over some players heads, but either way thanks for playing!

Haha this was hilarious, _kind_ of existential, and pleasant to play! Well done!

Incredibly fun despite how repetitive it was, the jeff was DEFINANTELY in the bin for this

Not a very complex game but I had so much fun, great job, I really liked how simple and good this game is, very good use of the theme and the art looks good, the souds are also pretty good, really impresive for a solo game, good game, congratulations =D

Keeping it simple but fun, this is how it should be. Nice job!!!

Was surprised to see how many different jobs there are. Sadly the game gets kind of dull after a while (but that is to be expected from ld game ^-^), otherwise it's a neat game. Also the music and the graphics are at points, very solid.

I wish i haven't sold all this bitcoins that early... :cold_sweat: well, i guess i've got to sweep some more floors than...

budgiem2 2017-12-08 13:03

That was really fun! I like how it changed from sweeping the floors to manipulating the increasing value of bitcoin. Great job!

Liked the minigames! I think eventually though it became faster to wait for the btc value to rise and it sort of becomes an idler game (at least for the first country). keep up the good work!

I did it! I crashed South Korea's economy! :moneybag: That should keep them out of eSports.

This was a nice and surprising experience. The whole game's motif is certainly a very ironic one given how sadist the character is that he's willing to be a masochist as well to go through all of those different jobs just to satisfy his economy-crashing lust. That being said, it was certainly humorous on that aspect. The BTC inclusion was also a nice nod to all the current cryptocurrency events going on, blowing in value all of a sudden, and crashing on the very next moment. :currency_exchange:

As expected, the mini-games are obviously the core focus of the game, and I have to say they had a very warioware-like vibe to them, especially with the tips where you have to perform the task under the time-limit. I found them enjoyable and fun to play, and even when I though I had played them all, I found myself playing new ones. As the game progressed, I would pretty much play a mini-game, go deposit some money and check on my BTC, and immediately go play another one.

Presentation-wise, the graphics and music were also pretty appealing for a Compo game! Nothing out-there but comfortable enough to complement the overall experience. My only minor issue with the game is really just how repetitive it can get after a while, especially if you're constantly playing it. Once I crashed South Korea, I didn't go forward and play through Australia for that very much reason, since I had already experienced everything there was to see.

[In behalf of our team](https://twitter.com/WhalesAndGames) and of a certain _Polite Whale_, thank you for this sadistic job-working experience. Cheers! :whale:
