Stonks: The Video Game by Flokami

[raw]
made by Flokami for Ludum Dare 52 (JAM)

Have you ever wanted to be the richest person in the world ?

How will you react between every dilemma ?

Win a lot of Money, but be careful, Karma always strikes back.

In STONKS you need to make the more money you can in 60 days.

Invest between multiple holdings, make decisions, and be careful to not become an asshole.

How to play ?

You will be given one prompt with two possible answers at each day. Some of the these prompts makes you buy "Actions" that are stock actions. Be sure to check if you have enough money to buy them, or it will be the end for you. When you have one action in one "holding" you will unlock special prompts that are tied to this holding. The goal is to make the holding value higher and to sell them after.

A mid-game dialogue said that all action would be sold at the end of the game, but we unfortunately didn't have time to complete this part. Screenshot<em>1.png Screenshot</em>2.png

Unfortunately, the click and hover feedback on the buttons was missing so I found myself double clicking a lot. The prompts got repetitive pretty quickly and the consequences of your actions were often very opaque.

It's a shame because it seemed completely random, if there had been some logic puzzle gameplay it could have been really fun.

Cool d'avoir un jeu en français pour une fois, bon par contre ca ne m'as pas du tout aidé a comprendre tout ce que je faisais... ^^ mais j'ai trouvé ca très drôle ! ;)
La seule façon que j'ai trouvé pour arriver à la fin c'est de répondre non à toute les questions mais j'ai pas finis très riche :/

As others mentioned before there is no clear relation between the actions and the results but that does somehow fit the setting very well :D

I got the same pineapple question 3 times in the first 7 days, it gets repetetive really fast - maybe you could show each promt only once or reference the first choice in some way. Also the X button rarely worked for me.
Other than that, quite a funny game!

Pretty cool , the humour was great, I didn't get how I could buy the stocks other than Grunker and the Pharma. I guess I was treating to seriously . It could be cool if you threw in a stock ticker / charts / news cycle, a portfolio where you could do more with your corporate actions, your stock splits, your dividends, warrants etc.

The best strategy I was able to figure out was to go full pharma bro, lol. Fun game, and good job

Fun little core of a game. Feels like it's mostly about memorizing what the options do and then just making sure your karma stay > 0.

I laughed the moment I saw the thumbnail, genius 😆 and was pretty simple, but fun game. Great work!
