Hello! I found the NYU Game Design Jams for this semester and decided to try your game because stonks. This game is awesome.
Its surprisingly frantic and very high energy for a game about stocks. The music is a fantastic contrast and the 5 minute timer is perfect.
Its just enough time to get a bunch out of the game without feeling bored. The leaderboard is also a very cool addition that makes replaying the game actually matter and makes me want to play more.
This is an arcade game and is actually very very cool. My main criticism is that theres a bunch of empty space on the UI that I'm sure you can get rid of by just making the game window smaller and rearranging some stuff. Its also slightly confusing but once you understand it the UX is pretty good. I would recommend having some explanation of how to actually buy and sell stocks on the tutorial section.
Overall, great effort and I am excited to see what else is in the NYU game jam games. :)
