I love the idea of the unregulated capitalist market as a weapon, this is something truly unique - I love seeing hot takes like this in LD entries, a really creative interpretation of the theme.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Sound effects were minimalist and appropriate. Graphics were great, but hit and miss - the stock cards and the fonts were very appropriate, as is the &quot;stock board&quot; sort of thing. But I didn't like the background spriting.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I kept getting slaughtered in the game which tells me I should stay out of stock trading.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Anyway this is probably the most I've written on a review so far but I just think this is a remarkable concept. You should seriously continue developing this and extrapolate the mechanics.

The ultimate goal is to bankrupt all other companies in the market. The player can manipulate the prices of individual companies through mass transactions.\r\n\r\n---===WHAT IS GOING ON? I DON'T UNDERSTAND...===---\r\nWALKTHROUGH VIDEO HERE!\r\nhttp:\/\/bit.ly\/1OfuFoG\r\nSeriously, go watch the walkthrough.\r\n\r\nStocks are like owning a tiny sliver of the company. You pay a price up front to acquire them. After that, it is up to the company. If the company does well, the price of the stock will go up, which means that when you sell the stock you will make a profit. If the company does badly then the price of the stock will drop and you will lose money. Even further, if the company fails or goes bankrupt your stock becomes worthless.\r\n\r\nIn the case of this game, once you own enough stock you begin to make a difference in the market for that company. If you buy mass amounts of stock the price will go up, allowing you to make a profit. If you sell that stock all at once the price will drop, and the company may even go into bankruptcy. You finish the game by bankrupting all companies on the board.\r\n---===|||===---\r\n\r\nAll controls are explained in-game, however they are also here for anyone who needs them:\r\n[Esc]\/[P] = Pause\/Unpause\r\n[H] = View control hints in-game\r\n[Space] = Toggle open the stock menu\r\nSounds can be muted through the pause menu.\r\n\r\nStuck? Below are some hints on sabotaging companies.\r\nGrow your balance in relation to the company.\r\n- Make sure you can afford 10+ stock before attempting bankruptcy.\r\nBuy stock gradually across all cards.\r\n- Try not to drive the price up too much.\r\nSell all at once.\r\n- Put all stock cards in the sell area simultaneously to maximize price drop.\r\n\r\nCorrugated Fidelity was made with my custom library, Ridhvl (https:\/\/github.com\/osreboot\/Ridhvl).\r\nOther tools for this game included: Lwjgl 2, Slick-Util, Bfxr, Gimp and Eclipse.\r\n\r\nThis jam was awesome, things worked out alright in the end. Much better than my last Ludum Dare. Here's to LD33!\r\n\r\nP.S. I do not have a machine running Linux, therefore I cannot test the link. If someone in the comments would be so kind as to verify that it functions. xD\r\nEdit: **Working on fixing that Linux download! D:","title":"Corrugated Fidelity"}
