Good Job, its a simple concept and it fits quite well with the theme. The game works well, however can get boring after some time.

Nice job!
I dont think I ever expected to play a stock market card game but here we are. Would definitely be interested in seeing this developed a bit further. Shockingly effective matchup. Pity you cant play real stocks like that!
I like the use of the theme. But i don't understand so much of financial market. Good job!!
It is really interesting to let people feel how the journey of losing money in the stock market happened.
The cards and their descriptions really sell it, got a good laugh out of me, good job with the game
Nice concept and framework. Looking forward to a final version with card descriptions!
Was really inspired by your honest reflection in your description. Looks like you've learned a lot and I'm looking forward to your next one!
I really don't understand how this game works at all :(
I just hit buttons and lost money, which I guess is a lot like real day trading.
I love what you were going for here. The look is great and humorous, and it is apparent that you wanted a card-game aspect. Would love to see this fleshed out in the future.
I enjoyed reading the post mortem on the itch page, its nice to read the developers own thoughts on a game. I do agree that this is not the most fun game, but I enjoy it for what it is. Management games can be tough to pull off, nice job!
It took me 2 minutes to figure out that WSAD also does something in the interface :D I think you have a solid idea here, a turn-based card crypto/stock trading game is something that I'd definitely like to play. Sounds like you overscoped this time, but that for sure will bring you closer to success during next jams/compos.
If you have time to work on a post-compo version that would be great to see! Looks like you have all the mechanics in place, some balancing and an intro/tutorial sequence to explain all the elements and this game would be way more approachable!
Keep on keeping on, Sminem is with you
Oh, that's quite interesting! Do you think people can practice investing with this simulator? It could get quite popular if you'd decided to upload info from the real exchange there.
Hmm, that's true, it could've been a pretty good simulator for real investors. But there are many of them on the Internet, I have to say, and to be honest, it's not like you have to spend a lot of time on that if you're willing to profit. You can just start investing in something like dynasets, you can read more about it in the SingularityDAO blog, and the algorithm system will help you determine the possible rise and fall of the rate, so you don't even have to come up with a strategy and track everything yourself.
