Heh. Amusing. I wasn't real clear what was going on sometimes with the 'oof' sounds my guy was making on normal platforms. But it certainly is an interesting take on the theme.

I definitely like the concept here - of navigating selectively through an endless platformer where the different platforms I hit are controlling a second aspect of the game related to economics. And then the macro-economic conditions affect the physics in the platform -- it's a cool idea!

I struggled with the high-speed pace, though. There was a lot being thrown at me here, and I would have enjoyed a bit more breathing room at the start to observe and learn the rules before things got so difficult. That, or an instant restart button so I could spend more time learning. I spent almost all of my time just trying not to die, and never really clicked with the higher-level economic concepts. (Hrm... was that the game's hidden message?)

The platformer was really troublesome for me - I could never tell which platforms I could jump up through, which ones were going to fall away suddenly, and often was left with no possible place to jump to survive. I barely had any time to pay attention to the other stuff going on.

I thought the jumping sound was me getting hurt, which confused the heck out of me until I realized it was just me jumping. The music integrated really well, gave it a nice feel.

love the idea. sometimes the platforms failed, or they appear randomly on top of you, making the character unable to jump

This was interesting. It was quite hard and a bit stressful :-). But the audio was great and felt balanced with the game movements. Good job!
