As someone who has never traded and will never trade crypto, this is what I always imagined it was like.

This game is really hard, I didn't pass two days (maybe if I do nothing ?)
Btw, I would apreciate something to indicate when day is over

I liked the minimalistic graphics and overall gameplay, seems very addictive. The game is a bit too hard and sometimes unintuitive for my taste, but, in general, it was fun.

@loiclegrosfrere @lesinvisible I struggled a lot with making it feel balanced, at the beginning it was too easy so with some more tweaking and thought behind it it couldve worked out. I also wanted to make a timer for when the day was over but I kind of forgot about it and then it was pretty close to deadline haha. Thank you for playing though, I really appreciate it.

Probably one of the most interesting entries this year. Yeah, it's very hard and kinda random, but I feel like it actually works for the story and mood of the game. I thought the random problems were a bit annoying at first, but they actually help the game to feel more hectic and forces the player to go as fast as possible. I especially loved the crypto trading minigame.

Well, it's a fine game.

The graphics goes well with the WTF aspect. And also the random problems which happen too often for a normal computer, this person gets into crypto but doesn't manage to secure their computer, they're surely... unstable.

However, it's true it's unintuitive.
Maybe it would have been best to have the computer occupying most of our screen, with the numbers inside. It's so small it is both hard to read and occupies all our attention.
There's also nothing to incite why buying stocks (I'm not really aware I would get my share) or in the shop (which has not description).
The minigames. Mining coins seems to be more trouble that it worths, and the Invader game is meant to be simple but I have the wrong keyboard, ha.

So I was focused on managing crypto, taking the gambit "if I quickly buy and sell, I would end to have income".

Well, I'm not a really good player so I quickly lost.

A really fun game. I think it is almost impossible to not go bankrupt, although this might be more realistic :)

Neutral: N/A

Bad:
- No clear directions or instructions on what to do.
- Too high of difficulty / unbalanced gameplay.

Good:
- Graphics aren't the best, but they "work" for this game. And can tell with the level of creativity that it took a lot of effort.
- Audio is nice and not annoying.
- Webpage for game is nicely designed and aesthetic.
- Can play a PC game within a PC game.... Mind blown.
- Humor, I love the dating sticky notes and whatnot.

Overall: I love this game and the fact that it's a compo submission blows my mind. This developer knows their stuff and have made my favorite compo sub so far!

Well, actually quite interesting. But it seems to me there is little connection with reality. Trading is about something else. You can find brokers on the internet with a good reputation and a good reputation. For example , such as https://www.ironfx.com . If you are serious about your trading career, it is important that you have a reliable broker who will be there to help you throughout your journey.
