BANKRUPTCY by Mooptychunk

[raw]
made by Mooptychunk for Ludum Dare 50 (JAM)

Banner.png Buy and sell properties for your inherited failing real estate business. You can't stop it from going under, but perhaps you can delay the inevitable long enough to make yourself some real money!

TIPS AND TRICKS:
-Listing prices will fluctuate depending on Trends. Buy uptrending properties early to maximize profit, and avoid buying downtrending properties unless you can immediately sell them.
-Properties in your inventory when the markets close will be sold for 80 percent of their Value automatically. This can be useful or detrimental!
-There are 4 Ranks: C, B, A, and S, each with their own ending card! Go for the S!

CHANGELOG:
- Added web playable version! (Requires Opera)

Love the concept and character design! She's so cute.
The bidder's word bubble does not show the building icon, so it wasn't easy to distinguish from each other.
Was that intentional?

Beautiful game, the music, the SFX, the sprites, everything makes you want to keep playing.

Love the character and the way her mood visibly changes based on your performance, haha. Music is fun and the gameplay kept me pulled in.

Even though the situation straight up stressed me it is so much fun, to play this game. Nice work guys!

This game is a ton of fun and I'll probably be returning to it after I've reviewed more of the other Jam entries. I love the twist of this on most management sims that your debt just keeps growing, really clever take.

Concept, artwork, music and humour are stand out factors in this game. It was surprisingly super fun and found myself playing it for longer than I expected once I got the hang of it. "S Rank! Bravo you and the money are long gone" :)

The debt is so high!
it took me a couple rounds to understand how this game works, how to buy and sell, everything just went so fast to capture, but feels very realistic of trading. Then I was able to make some profits, but still not able to pay all debt.
I like the vibe it shows, the trading experience and the character's facial expression works pretty well to the concept.
Good Job!

Finally got S rank! Took a few tries, the RNG is a bit punishing, but landing the big monument deals felt pretty great. The music is a jam, and the way the new entries are timed felt really good to me. The character's expressions were a nice touch, and the background matched the vibe well. Thanks for preventing actions right after new entries, I would've accidentally lost a lot of money a few times otherwise...

On the critical side:
- I do wish that my buildings could've been always on screen, so I didn't need to bring down a drop down that covers up the deals.
- The prices going up and down didn't feel impactful enough. It was a fun thing to manage, but it made barely any profit compared to the base profit of selling an unusually cheap property to an unusually wealthy client.
- The racy end screens felt a bit out of place.

Overall, the most fun I've had yet while reviewing LD50 games, nicely done.

First off, it may sound like a nitpick, but the download is a zip file inside a zip file, so I had to unzip the game before I could unzip the game.
However, I did have quite a bit of fun playing the game, I did think the music was a bit TOO loud, so I had to turn that down. Otherwise, the pace was fast enough to make it feel as though you really are just trying to delay the inevitable. Good entry!

Very polished graphics, music and animation. The gameplay was fun, but very hard to keep track of the values in your inventory. Would have been nice if it was either always visible or if you could see the value of the item you were holding.

This game was intense! It took me halfway through the market day to know how to sell Xd (On me BTW!) The art was good, the music was good, the actual gameplay left me very little time to analyze it because of how fast it was all moving! Something I have noticed over the course of this jam is that I like the games which do not go for the “Death is Inevitable” angle, but instead think of something more interesting, and I really like the number goes down. (totally not biased because I did something similar) Did I mention I liked the music? Good game!

New idea, here is a brand-new subject that you may learn more about and become acquainted with. One of the most well-known online games is the [slope game](https://slopegame.onl), which is created in a lovely imagined 3D environment. To win this leaderboard, you must control quickly.
