Fun little game, took me a while to dominate the MARKET, the sell/buy mechanic is pretty fast paced.

Nice one, Wojciech! This was a pretty inventive genre mashup. One of the more unique LD44 entries that I've had the chance to play so far, and that's definitely a good thing!

Simple and effective game, the bitcoin sprite was better recreating it in illustrator because now when it's very zoomed you can see that has some errors in the border, the mechanic is intresting altough certain times you just crash and even if you spam buy you cannot avoid it, congrats!

Very unique game, and fun to figure out. After a certain point I was just able to mash the up and down arrows to get infinite height. The graph was nice.

Only suggestion I would have is a sound that gets higher as you fly higher.

Well done!

Thanks to all of you for feedback!
I really underestimate how good you can be in this game.
So once you worked out the algorithm sky is the limit (or maximum size of c# data type.. read below)

@geertsen
You got so much money that it exceed the maximum size of data type I was using to store the score. The market was not ready for such millionaire. Congratulations!
