Not very fun and hard to figure out.

Its just not fun its cool and all but just not fun.

Was quite fun and creative. Really enjoyed the mechanic of trading for things and that giving you new paths to the stock market. Understanding the value of different things was a bit unwieldy. Having a spreadsheet of the values for each part would have helped quite a bit.

I quite like the art, but the sound effects were pretty obnoxious.

Really fun but I was unable to trade in arms and bought into those since they went super low and legs were up really high. So I ended with 10 arms and 0.9 something everything else.

It's a pretty interesting idea but stock exchange games aren't really my thing, there's some disconnection inbetween some sound effects.

The idea has a lot of potential. With more game design experience and more work on this game. I could see it as something really cool

I like the concept. The stock market theme seems to be pretty common this dare, but I think you realized it best with the buy and sell of body parts. I think more visualization into the value and trends of the different parts might help make more interesting decisions

Interesting idea, a stock exchange with own body parts.

An interesting idea, but I had trouble really getting into it. I wasn't sure whether my goal was to get the most total dollar value, the most sets of complete pigs, or the most total items.

The route to the stock exchange was interesting the first time, but once I had enough pieces to take the optimal route, it was a bit cumbersome to click through.

Not a big deal, but the controls on the main menu were a bit hard to see.

As many already said the market trade and managing the hours and getting the best trade out definetely is realized well here, and I assume with more time you could make it even better.

But first of all round the numbers down to like 1 decimal place its very easy to get confused otherwise.

Also scene transitions would make the game way more attractive.

Apart that a very good try well done, I love economy involving games especially if realized well ;)

Some addictive shit you guys made here. I tried balancing out my stocks as much as possible and at one point the price of arms dropped so low that I was literally swimming in 'em. Could 'a just made a giant pole of arms and worked from home, pointing my giant arm through my piggy roof.

Thanks for participating!

There was some fun strategy in waiting for good trades, though I feel like there was also a big element of luck - ears were really expensive for me for basically the whole game and I ended up with very few. I still managed to make 10 pigs somehow even though I only have 4.7 ears.

Great job! I'm not huge on stock trading games, but I love how it utilized the theme! The sound design was a nice touch when traveling to work, and you have a nice ambient music track to vibe to while trading.
