Surprisingly complicated game! Really enjoyed playing it though once I worked out how to balance it. First time I played I started selling everything and fell off the board haha. Liked the music also, fit the mood really well. Id love to see another version with more resources maybe!
Now I can lose money in a video game too! :D Very fun and pretty challenging. I like all the small details like the color coding of the type of stock in the news.
good concept .. but felt it like bit challenging..
Definitely like it! Unusual idea, magnificent realization :raised_hands: Got pretty nervous before making a million :)
Very fun game, quite challenging! Perhaps a slightly more comprehensive tutorial would be a good addition so it's a bit easier to understand :)
My favourite so far! Good job :)
Great concept! I loved that you had to run around to buy the different assets. Made it more hectic when I saw oil skyrocketing and had to sprint over there :)
PS: I saw on Itch it said that you used music. Should you opt out of the audio category?
Very fun game. Neat way to work with the theme. The music fits perfectly with the game. The best game in this jam I have this far played. Good job!
I love how you can fall off the map
I liked the pure chaos of it. It was fun trying to keep track of the stocks, figuring out where the right kiosk was, and dealing with the map rotating. I wish falling off the map didn't mean an immediate game over. I think a better mechanic would've been that you're stuck for a few seconds and can't sell any stocks while you're getting back on the platform. But this was a really novel idea.
this game was really fun to play! it was hilarious watching the little character run around as i frantically try to buy gold and sell oil. well done!
I Love the little 'Wii' looking characters, fun game :) very unstable :D
Great idea! It is very satisfying to multiply your money, but unfortunately you have to pay taxes :( Perfectly fits the theme, well done!
Really unique idea! I love the take on the theme - definitely an unstable game. :) I found myself really getting into it and saying "Buy buy buy" out loud lol. Overall the graphic design really fits the mood of the game. I like that it's challenging but also doesn't take itself too seriously. Great job!
Its surprisingly satisfying looking at graphs move up and down and the panic of running around to sell your stocks at the right moment while also trying to buy others
Hahaha :laughing: the market is very unstable !
Very original and funny to play. Controls are easy to learn. Character animation is nice, and it's funny to move around to buy stuff. It's not obvious when you have to pay taxe, maybe improve effect to make it more clear. You can improve FX when the player earn money, the game will be more juicy. Music fit well with the gameplay.
Great job :thumbsup:
Super funny interpretation of the theme, it was fun trying to figure out when to buy and sell. Nice entry!
This is very entertaining. The volatility of the stock market is a great interpretation of the unstable theme. Also it's hard to stay on when the platform tilts, which made me laugh.
You can see my testing/review of the game in this video: https://youtu.be/AZmpys4Jzow
Your game has proven to me that I'd totally not survive on the sto(n)x market :) Nice but frustrating, when the board shook me off :)
This is a pretty interesting and addicting game. However, it has some issues that ruin the game experience. For example, the cam is very annoying because when I try to buy some goods, it can suddenly change or rotate. Moreover, sometimes the playing platform rotates or tilts to the side too much and I fall without being able to stay on it. Even so, it's fun for me to play it ))
Really cool take on the theme - it's the first one I've played this jam taking on the idea of an unstable marked. I felt the core gameplay was nice and challenging, with a clear core mechanic. My one piece of feedback is that I think the collision detection could be fine-tuned: I found the character getting stuck in the stores a couple of times. Overall, this was a lot of fun :)
This game was actually really great to play! I rated it a lot higher then I thought I would! Good job, I really enjoyed getting to play this! :D
Interesting concept! Quite funny though, I did not expect to be able to fall off the map playing for the first time haha. Actually quite challenging, but it was fun to play. I also really like the soundtrack. Overall, great job!
Crazy and fun game! I loved going around to sell just when I think the price is right, only for it shoot even farther up right after. Only thing I didn't understand was the camera moving around a lot, but it didn't take much away from the experience. Great job on the game!
Quite a silly game. Very fun and quite humorous. At first I was like "why that gameplay, why not make this a menu?" but oh boy was I wrong. Good job!
Funny game concept, made me laugh. I did get stuck inside the booths a few times, and died once because of it :sweat_smile:
@qwantumline @essarrgee Thanks for review! I guess we failed to make it more obvious, but idea was: we have a different random events, few affects charts, and other - environment. Sometimes platform rotates, grow or become unstable
@timur-bahadir Yeah, sorry for that, we saw this bug but didn't have time to fix :) Thanks for play our game!
What a unique idea! This is the only stock related game I saw so far. The sound design is nice, with all those background noises. Art style looks good. I had fun playing it. Good job.
Very cool concept and a great and original take on the theme. I accidentally bought too much stuff a couple times and lost because of not paying taxes and all. Maybe adding some sort of indicator when you're low on money would make it more obvious, but it might also take away from the intended challenge of having to pay attention and keep an eye on everything at the same time. I must say I especially enjoyed the unstable platform event, and it came as quite a surprise the first time. Nice work overall!
xD I really liked this unstable process, good conception!
"You're out of the market!" :joy: Very cool gameidea. I thought it was going to be a boring stock exchange game. :smile:
good game, i like it, only a little hard, good work!
STONKS
Really, really fun game. Love the idea and the gameplay is very addictive. I like the idea of the floor shifting too. Only suggestion is that it is a little hard (It took me 15 mins to get 700k and then I fell off the edge lol). This was a standout entry, great job!
