Market Master is a game about playing the stock market. Work tirelessly to earn a few bucks here, and a few shares there. Don't like the shares you find along the way? No problem, dump them in the market and buy something else. But beware, some stocks are riskier than others and you could lose it all in no time. Will you try to pick a winner? Or learn the secrets of diversification the hard way?

Feel free to be very critical, I really enjoy hearing feedback and want to improve!

Development

This is my first time participating in Ludum Dare, as well as my first ever game jam! I am a programmer by trade, and really struggle with the art side of game development. That being said, this is by far the most complete game I have created to date, and I am quite pleased with how the pixel art came out. I had a great time coming up with the name parodies of real companies. You might be able to figure out which ones are a bit riskier by the names 😉

If you record any reviews/lets plays please link them in the comments. I would love to watch. Happy Jamming.

Thanks for Playing!
