Very strange management and drawing. I did not quite understand getting into the topic, but of course the topic was not easy. To correct management, but it is very difficult to walk. But overall still ahead. Not bad for a start

@max-torn, thank you very much for the feedback!
This game is my first experience with Godot engine, so lots of time was spend on reading documentation and learning How-to's. So unfortunately every bit was made in a hurry 😓
Will experiment with a "management" later, but anyway Forex candlestick charts will never be easy to walk by 😉

I like the humor and the music selection!

Movement is a little wonky and therefore I needed way to many tries in the first level.

But beating it was rewarding then.

I liked it

@jcklie, thanks for noticing! Have added WASD controls back -_-

I liked the animation and audio, the controls felt a bit slow, but maybe that's my personal preference.

Interessting plattformer concept with the moving platforms, there is definetly some skill required there already. Maybe polish the game feel a bit more.

Shout out to another Godot developer!

I adored this! Animation was nice, though I wish the controls felt more responsive. Overall a great entry :)

What I needed in my life was a platformer about stocks. The game is pretty funny(esp the scene with falling stocks) and the platforming aspect is alright. I think a separate key for jump is a way to go tho. Once I started playing AD+Arrow up things got easier. Also it would probably be better not to restart the music after each death, cos it happens pretty often.

The platforming part was a bit wanky, and the character to slow. The coin collect part was fine :)
I didn't really bother about the numbers at the top..
Overall a nice idea, making a jump'n' run on stocks.

Fun game! I noticed you use the same music as me in the platform section.
