Good use of music to set the pace of the game. :)

I don't get it. I though it's an exchange simulator, that I have to earn lots of money by trading. But there's no bitcoin counter, so I don't know how many I have and I can get into -$. Sell/buy works weird - sometimes I "sell" and get -$, sometimes I get +$, same with "buy".
I just don't get it.

whiteknife16 Dec 2013, 20:11

Liked the music, but I was a bit (see what I did there?) unclear on exactly what to do. Still, a solid showing!

lincore16 Dec 2013, 20:11

After figuring out what to do this was a very fun game, although a bit on the easy side. The graphics are awesome.

KumoKairo16 Dec 2013, 20:13

OMAGAD This is the funnies game I've played so far!

hate-marinaauthor16 Dec 2013, 20:17

baton4ik, yep, perhaps it's not-so-obvious, lol. I've added a hint in description

Marcellus16 Dec 2013, 20:21

can't launch the game

Static_boy12316 Dec 2013, 20:56

As with others, once I figured out what to do...It was very very very fun. Most definitely my favorite game as of yet! I would advise however, that it be buying and selling for certain amounts, not just when the guy tells you to. Will play again when I am bored and/or in need of humor

MMoffatt16 Dec 2013, 21:04

Good humor + graphical style.

Kvisle16 Dec 2013, 21:13

I bought lots of machines, they made me rich. Didn't get the hang of buy/sell.

DustyStylus16 Dec 2013, 22:13

A nice concept but I wasn't 100% sure what I was doing?

Venks17 Dec 2013, 15:50

Haha. I don't really get all the talk about bit coins, but I can see this must be quite an issue for some developers. Cool to see a parody of the situation in game form.

Ekilibr17 Dec 2013, 16:34

Love the idea of "One Bitcoin" ! Well played ! ;)

milugames17 Dec 2013, 17:24

Interesting idea. But really confusing at first. The chart basically means nothing and does nothing. Just have to listen to the guy? That's how I understood it atleast. That combined with having the chart (and knowing what it would mean in reality) and no bitcoin counter was really confusing.

I enjoyed the graphics a lot though. But overall I would've liked the game to be a lot clearer.

ob616017 Dec 2013, 18:05

Love the bitcoin theme, music and graphics :D

Cash17 Dec 2013, 18:12

Good concept but it becomes boring fast or maybe there was something I didn't undestood

Katamori17 Dec 2013, 18:59

Kinda pointless but enjoyable. Also, nice music and graphics.

soy_yuma18 Dec 2013, 20:22

I can't load the link. Is it me or you? :-?

soy_yuma18 Dec 2013, 20:28

Sorry, looks like it was me! I could download it! :-)

soy_yuma18 Dec 2013, 20:37

Not bad! Although it's true that after a while you don't know what's the point of all of it. I focused on only buying, which worked pretty well...

lilinx19 Dec 2013, 21:14

I can't run it (windows 8).
It says a lot of things including the last line "unable to share contexts".
I wish I could play this.

tobbez20 Dec 2013, 16:50

Really like the music. The gameplay was a bit on the light side.

ChrisMingay20 Dec 2013, 17:30

Haha nice one :D The prices could do with highlighting before you attempt to buy things, but either way it was intriguing all the same!

nyytroh20 Dec 2013, 21:29

I earned a lot but I still don't get the hurtware thing. Maybe cause I've never been in the bitcoin stuff. The rest is very good: art style, music, the mood in general.

Jupiter_Hadley24 Dec 2013, 19:09

I dont think I really understood this game, but yeah... I included this game in part 8 of my Ludum Dare Compilation series, if you'd like to take a look :) http://youtu.be/JK9Dz3oR_Xs

DanielSnd24 Dec 2013, 19:31

I didnt understand the game.

Jod3 Jan 2014, 00:09

I sadly didn't 'get' it. But kudos for making something with humor in it that's not just for everyone. We need more of these!

Jeremias5 Jan 2014, 11:44

Was hard to figure out what to do, so a very small tutorial or more detailed descriptions would have made it better. Nice music you generated with the linked tool!
