Very unique idea for a game. Cool minecraft-like 3d pixel graphics. I wish there was a win condition/levels to encourage me to keep playing longer

@bluemaus I thought of adding a Luck be a Landlord style rent you had to pay each 2-3 minutes or so to add an objective to promote more risky gameplay too. I was just a bit too late to think about it and didn't have the time to implement it.
cool idea :) I played it longer than I thought I would. 1-2 more elements might have made it even more interesting
Played it on mobile; device: Pixel XL.
It's very visually interesting, but kind of boring. I can't see the graphs very well in the distance, and it's not clear that those are buttons you can click.
There is no win state or lose state. I purposefully let my crops all die so I only had $5 dollars left. I never saw anything go down to $5 in price, lowest I saw was 45. I don't know how you're doing the graphs, but I would recommend some kind of minimum = 1$ type situation, so that there's always a chance, unless the player has 0$, which should be a lose state. Between that and the lack of win state, there is no reason to play.
I like the sound effects, but I wish there was music. I also wish the money display was anchored to the bottom of the screen rather than top left, as on smaller devices like phones and some laptops, it's hard to see the graphs on the left: Screenshot_20211005-112539.png
Overall, pretty okay. Stock markets are unstable, so pretty on-theme. I was impressed by the use of 2D assets in 3D; I've yet to try out Godot 3D properly myself.
I really like the minecraft-y style of the game. I played for a couple of minutes and I found myself lost while following the market, it was too fast for me, but very good for the "unstable" theme.
Anyway, I liked the idea and the fact that the game was made in godot. I'd like to see more games from you :)
soooooo addictive. one of the most addicitve games ive played in ldjam... xP
I agree with @papabirb, background music would be nice. I did see the buy price drop to 0$ though, and that really was a nice feeling :D
