Stock Exchange by ded

made by ded for LD30 (COMPO)

So, my first LD game and my second game ever...
OK, connected worlds ... game about stock market that will be fun... not really, I wanted to make the items connected, so if one goes down some other should go up. In fact they all are linked like that but it doesn't work as expected.

The gameplay is really badly balanced and the code is messy.
But I like the graphs...

Not sure on how the theme relates but it was pretty fun and hard

the connections with the theme is "the stocks connect the world", it should be like: if china goes down, usa goes up and these mechanics should be basics of the gameplay, but as I've written above, it doesn't work perfectly.

I've not been really good at these games where you deal with the stock market, ever. Yep, hard but still kinda cool.

Is the real life stock market this easy? Because damn I need to get me some stocks. :D
But seriously, its actually quite fun, I enjoyed it. :D

I liked this game, especially how you need to control several parameters at the same time.

interesting topic. Could add more twists to make it better.

Have to say that I wasn't any good at it, but the graphs are incredibly pretty. Neat interpretation of the theme too.

And now I'm reminded why I don't play the stock markets… That said, some more variety — even in visuals — would go a long way in making this more interesting, unless that's against the point.

interesting take on the theme but it could have been easier on the eyes with higher resolution and bigger buttons

I brilliant interpretation of the theme. love it!
There is also something hypnotic about pixel graphs... i cant stop staring at them.

My finger hurts and money no longer fits onto the screen, I consider that a win.

As with the other suggestions, being able to buy in bulk would have been nicer.

I love these games, and the graphics makes it complete! But yeah, you're right, it's not easy.

Simple and fun. But it lacks depth and challenge! The graphs were great :p Well done!

Very nice. Surprising how addictive it can be just to watch those curves :)

Not bad, I had fun but didn't see the drugs n hookers options like in Wolf of Wall Street.

Surprisingly interesting. I like the graphics very much. It's missing little something to make it a really good one.

Really fun and innovative concept.

Interesting and cool take on the theme. And yes, I like the graphs too. I like the graphics overall, but there's something special with watching your $1 purchases soar to $110 in red pixels. :)
