LaChuChu Fever by Yellowscope

[raw]
made by Yellowscope for Ludum Dare 58 (EXTRA)

Note I'm not sure why the build isn't working on the Ludem Dare site, for now, you can play it on itch.io linked below.

School's out for summer, but the real education is happening online! Lachuchu Fever has completely taken over, and everyone is scrambling for a piece of these rare, train-shaped collectibles.

You start with a small gift from your mother and now it's time to hustle. The goal: turn your starter gift into a jaw-dropping collection before the summer ends and you return to school to impress your friends.

Each day, the market is hot, and your choices are few but crucial:

Buy that potential future gem. Sell your stock right at the peak of the hype. Call a friend for a vital appraisal to sniff out a market spike. Sleep to reset the clock and face tomorrow's challenge. Can you master the market, flip the rarest trains, and build the ultimate Lachuchu collection before school starts?

Nice job! With this mechanic, I feel like it didn’t need to be a 3D game, I spent more time trying to fight the 3D movement than actually thinking about whether I want to buy or sell a specific Lachuchu.

The train models where nice. I'm not sure if it was the goal but the whole premise is soul crushing, I just want to go out side. It is a good entry.

I really had to laugh when I read "Lachuchu" :D - nice little game.

Wow, great idea! Although in the current version the odds are a bit harsh, I can definitely see this being polished into a full blown collection trading sim with the mechanics expanded. Really cool!
