Ball Street Journal is an arcade-style game where you take the role as a newly enlisted company. Roam the stock market to find smaller companies to invest in and increase your capital.

The game is a nice take on the fish in the sea game, graphics are great but appear to be kinda half-done? (lots of white)
Music & Audio were great!
Movement felt fun but collision detection was a bit weird.
Definitely works in this context!
Kept trying but couldn't break half a million. On my last attempt, I got eaten by a company with the diameter of more than half the screen that just appeared on top of me. :)
Gameplay is hard to control though and knowing which is possible to acquire is difficult
+1 humor star for the name :)
City was beautifully modelled.
That said, I love the idea of hovering over the city like that and the graphics are gorgeous, lacking a bit of color but that's it. The audio is very well done as well.
Good job
