Seems simple, but I need a few more instructions

the-jahn 2021-10-03 16:29

Sorry, I added some instructions to the page. :)

nick-barrash 2021-10-03 23:15

Wow awesome concept and great take on the theme!

indigowolf 2021-10-03 23:23

First game I've rated and I loved it.

delightfullymad 2021-10-04 05:45

Very fun to play, would be great as a one click app game! good job.

kewdev 2021-10-04 06:58

This would make a sick phone game to just whip out whenever you have free time. Amazing job!

pvp 2021-10-04 07:03

Totally accurate simulator of crypto exchange :p. To the moon! Great entry nice job.

zevsehg 2021-10-04 07:03

Very cool game, i'm excited!

pinkemma 2021-10-04 07:05

Put all my money into GMECoin, now broke, would do again, A+!

ludokultur 2021-10-04 07:24

One of my jam favorites so far! Definitely a take on a "stock market game" I haven't seen before! :D

fabernull 2021-10-04 13:02

Frighteningly realistic, really clever implementation of the theme. Well done :D

nethead 2021-10-04 13:56

alright you've convinced me to open a coinbase account, good marketing. very engaging and realistic simulation except my account keeps ending up green which is very unusual. I would complain that the slip penalties were a little punishing when you're just barely off the line, but the markets don't care about my feelings.

marc-grabow 2021-10-04 14:09

Haha, that made actually laugh, fantastic idea :D Good job!

theviraldragon 2021-10-04 15:37

A nice little one button game.

m11 2021-10-04 15:42

A great take on the theme :)

dekajoo 2021-10-04 19:10

The game idea is great and funny.

You should post that on https://www.reddit.com/r/ethtrader/ they will love it 😂

@Dekajoo You've gotta pump those numbers up. Thanks for playing! :smile_cat:

thegamerasd 2021-10-04 23:34

Nice game, I liked the mechanics :)

pressstartearly 2021-10-04 23:43

Okay now this is one of the most fun game's I've played so far. LOVE IT

smilewood 2021-10-05 00:11

Hilarious concept, great execution. I found this game a lot of fun to play, the sound effects do a lot for it. It certainly had moments where I got smacked by the penalty when I was sure I was on the line, usually when I cam down like a rock and bounced off a peak. I love that you get a boost when buying, it makes it a lot more dynamic then just following the track. Overall very fun I enjoyed this game a lot!

schuster 2021-10-05 00:16

💎🙌

salohcin894 2021-10-05 00:54

Super fun, buy low sell high. I really like the risk reward that's baked into the game. Like @smilewood said, the sound effects really sell the whole game!

the-jahn 2021-10-05 01:13

I'm glad you guys like the sound effects! I spent probably way too long trying to synthesize/layer a nice cha-ching sound in Renoise lol

I included the XRNS for any Renoise users curious on how I did it, just make sure you have Synth1 installed - I needed FM synth for the bell

kadecgos 2021-10-05 01:51

I went full 💎🙌 for like half the level, and that was the wrong choice, as it turns out

the-jahn 2021-10-05 02:21

@kadecgos It might work okay if you buy the dippiest dip. I haven't tried it tho.

maychant 2021-10-05 03:05

Best crypto trading game I've seen this jam. Congrats on getting frontpaged on newgrounds :)

zwodahs 2021-10-05 05:42

I can't believed that you wrap a endless runner in a crypto skin ....

Good job! Quite a interesting twist on the mechanic :D.

Might be just me, but the price always goes down eventually ... and I think that is quite close to reality so I guess that is intended.

dzejpi 2021-10-05 06:39

Yeah, this is exactly how trading crypto feels like. Very realistic. Joking asides - great job, very responsive controls and fun to play!

the-jahn 2021-10-05 07:05

@ZwodahS ideally the price would always go up, but unfortunately i haven't worked out that bug yet. sooner or later though...

to the moon!

evogengames 2021-10-05 09:38

Nice game, fitted the theme perfectly.

Well done!

henriquecanella 2021-10-05 12:24

Really nice idea hahaha. Think it would made a really nice mobile game =D

2021-10-05 13:29

Good and inovative game, good work. . Averagly fit into the theme.. Average fun game, but maybe next time you will polish the gameplay and it will be better. Art is not good, try harder next time.

One last note: I always write down honest review, because everybody need that, not just nice craps with some bullshit, but sometime I will aperceite very good games. So if this review insult you, but use it well :) Anyway every game is counting so :)

the-jahn 2021-10-05 14:37

@Anon, completely fair criticism. Art, UX, and variety of gameplay are all definitely lacking. Thank you for taking the time to play it anyway. I'll try harder next time. :)

senso 2021-10-05 17:10

This is instable. Realy cool idea ,well done !

kromeboy 2021-10-05 19:07

Simple yet funny game. A nice abstraction of the stock market

rumor 2021-10-05 20:45

A fun, accessible game that perfectly fits the theme of the jam. The idea isn't unique, but the perfect execution definitely is. An enviable effort and a really fun game!

lb01 2021-10-05 22:32

This feels like if Line Rider and r/WSB had a baby, and I mean that in the best possible way. This is one of the best interpretations of the theme I've seen so far, and its easy-to-pick-up-hard-to-master mechanics give it really good replay value. I don't really have any major points of critique. This was very well executed.

bakenshake 2021-10-05 23:50

This was an absolute joy to play and reminded me of what it feels like to actually play the stonks. Well done and great take on the theme.

saintheiser 2021-10-06 02:37

Very cool and simple game! Clever and awesome idea. Enjoyed a lot, thanks!

haise 2021-10-06 13:14

Fun concept and good implementation of the theme! Good work!

kernon 2021-10-06 13:18

Love this game! It's so much fun to play! Thanks for putting this together!

jose-bonilla 2021-10-06 13:38

Very simple but really fun game. Amazing work. Clever idea.

anstabo 2021-10-06 16:01

I am financially ruined!

nefylem 2021-10-06 22:50

I really like the idea, that was a lot of fun.

jamesmiller 2021-10-07 07:07

Simple but fun, and great use of the theme!

exilegl 2021-10-07 18:09

Solid difficulty level and a lot of fun :) Good take on the theme (and cool use of procedural generation too - I'm guessing its some sort of perlin noise type thing?) Would be nice to show your highest score on screen so you can try to beat it (since the game over screen just shows your score for that try I think). Good job :D

one of my tries:

Very fun to play, and hilarious too! Making money using crypto currency was never that easy! (Though game is pretty challenging!)

gimbalock 2021-10-09 07:18

Great game! I actually want to play this again and again. And it feels like real trading too. You can make short investments for low safe profit, or you can go for a long run, with the risk of going down. Very fun game indeed! Good job!

potkirland 2021-10-11 16:00

just made over 800k! that was a thrilling ride! it was all intuitive and it played really well. the push of buying is really gripping the player to their seat. good fun ride :thumbsup:

wendel-scardua 2021-10-11 16:14

Very creative take on both the theme and the runner genre. It like that you actually added a leaderboard to the post-jam version (got the #8 place there), and that the track is consistent (so it's a fair competition).

megalukes 2021-10-11 22:00

"CryptoCoaster is an absolutely 100% accurate crypto trading simulator." As a crypto enthusiast, I couldn't agree more. Congrats! That one was a lot of fun! Cheers from another Godot user! :D

This phenomenon, which has already entered our life, cannot just disappear, but the possibilities for its development will depend on many factors. In general, it seems to me that you need to study the information about a service https://tabtrader.com/articles/trading-indicators. Also, I think that in this aspect cryptocurrencies will become exclusively an investment tool, along with stocks and other assets.

2022-02-25 21:55

Hello. I don't fully understand - is this just a game, or is it possible to mine real cryptocurrency? Now I am interested in investing in cryptocurrency, and I am looking for simple ways to do this. After 5 years, I have to retire, and after reading about crypto in retirement https://financialfreedomcountdown.com/cryptocurrency-ira/, I realized that I still have time to secure a decent old age. I am very sorry that earlier investments were not widely known and accessible to all people. Young people now have every chance to live easily with the help of investments in cryptocurrencies.

2022-09-03 08:36

Cryptocurrencies have been around for a long time, and now they are in great demand because of the rise in exchange rates. For this purpose they even invented services, which help to [buy bitcoin with visa](https://j2tx.com/buy-bitcoin/with-visa) from home. I found a site with a good service. If you need it, I can share it with you

2022-11-16 07:13

Hello there. Actually I'm quite interested in the theme of cryptocurrency trading so can you recommend me some resources or books on this theme?

2022-11-16 09:17

I agree that cryptocurrency trading is a nice way of earning money nowadays but you need to be rather careful while choosing anything for it. For example, I work with this [Bitcoineer IO official](https://bitcoineer.io/) service and I'm completely satisfied with them, you can find something similar as well. Hope that you will be able to do it.
