It's neat. You can throw again, mid air! Is there an endgame?

@conker327 yes if you play for 7 days there is an ending!
Super fun, just the right amount of simplicity!! Made 24 bucks the first week and then lost like 300 something next week lol too real. Great Job! :)
SUPER FUN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Things I liked: - simple physics - color scheme - easy to play - replayability
Improvements: - white-noise static when switching to the analysis screen to match the display static - some simple sounds to give player feedback of their actions - pulling the elastic outside the screen continues to add thrust to the ball; my guess is that makes the experience different on mobile than on desktop/browser - lots of room to all the usual cryptocurrency memes (e.g. "to the moon!")
Bugs: - Didn't find any
@bw-devel thank you for your great feedback! I will be adding sound to the game today!
@bw-devel I've added music/sound and even stole your "to the moon" idea! thanks!
I didn't understand what to do at first, invested some money and ended up 1k in debt. Just like the real stock market. 10/10.
Ok, to be serious, this game is awesome. The controls are so satisfying, landing trickshots feels amazing. The graphics are simple but lovely and the music keeps the action going perfectly. Also I somehow got really happy about gaining and losing money equally. I basically grinned the entire time I played this. Thanks for making this :D
Loved the theme. GME to the moon!!
Only thing I had trouble with initially was that the ball can be dragged off screen. Without dragging it off screen there isn't enough momentum generated to shoot it over. Great idea!
@initialposition thank you so much for the glowing review! Really glad you picked up what I was trying to convey. Thanks for playing!
@pookipoot Glad you enjoyed it! You can actually click and drag anywhere on the screen to shoot the ball. Your cursor doesn't have to be on the ball to shoot. This isn't entirely clear though perhaps I will add a bit more explanation. Thanks!
@420blazeit Ah! That makes sense. I think this would make a pretty good IOS game as well. Good job man!
@pookipoot it actually works on mobile! its just a little small...still new to mobile dev. Also I added a tip at the beginning about not having to drag on the ball. Thanks again for your feedback!
Very fun! I'm liking the GameBoy palette, nice! I always ended up in the negative, but it was fun to play just the same haha. Thanks for making this!
I like the idea. It's a unique take on the theme. I was kind of confused about what I was supposed to be doing? Making as much money as I can or as little?
Also I don't know if this is a bug or not but you can still click the shop after the button disappears!
@cole-hutson I was trying to be satirical so you're supposed to lose money. Thank you for the bug report!
Simplistic and enjoyable every second on the way to a lifelong financial crisis. Thank you for bringing this game to life!
@peter-jonsson thanks for the kind words and for taking the time to play!
When I was young, I wanted to be trader, but the careers advisor said this will not be possible with my physical education grades. He was right : I wasn't able to throw a ball correctly.
The take on the theme is very fun, the audio is well done and is a good match with the game mood ! I think there is some enhancement to do on the mechanics of ball throwing (I found that you can still control the ball after the first throw, I think you can elaborate that, before founding that, I had a ball stuck between the wall and the goal).
Congratulations for your entry !
@sebbernery thank you for sharing this troubling memory...I hope this game helped you overcome that dark spot in your past.
I did mention in the tutorial that you can change the trajectory of the ball mid-air! But, it is easy to miss.
Thanks for playing!
Artwork and sound design is solid, nice job!.
Had a nice time loosing money xD. I really liked you logo, the audio and doing trick shots !
@mak6 Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for playing!
This is a very well made and very original take on the topic. I loved graphics, sounds and the exact illustration of investing into crypto. Can confirm that this is exactly how it is.
@dzejpi unfortunately I also can confirm haha thanks for playing!
