  • gameplay
    55 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is characterized by a high-octane, addictive loop centered around buying and selling stocks, enhanced by humorous theming and engaging mechanics like shorting. However, many players find the mechanics to be somewhat limited and repetitive, with some features feeling underdeveloped or ineffective, leading to a lack of long-term replayability. While the core gameplay is enjoyable and visually appealing, the overall experience may not justify the current price, with suggestions for additional content and mechanics to enhance depth and engagement.

    • “Adding real-time gameplay and campaigns with characters and flavor text really succeeds in achieving the potential of the original.”
    • “But what it does have is an immediate and exciting core gameplay loop, built out of a handful of strong simple systems, backed up by hilarious theming and great game feel.”
    • “The mechanics of planets influencing general chart trends, with individual babies furthering the variance, lead to lots of replayability, while the consultants provide enough information to enable some real strategic gameplay.”
    • “Regardless if they add what I suggest, it is worth the buy. My criticisms are more because I wish it was a bit more engaging with the stock itself because, being honest, sometimes it does feel a bit more like a guess than gameplay.”
    • “I had fun for a while, but the limitations of the mechanics and the repetitiveness of the gameplay started to hit towards the end of the campaign.”
    • “But the gameplay is very nothing, sadly...”
  • humor
    24 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is widely praised for its clever and absurd themes, often drawing on elements of capitalism and stock trading to create hilarious situations and commentary. While many players find the humor engaging and entertaining, some critiques point to inconsistencies in the comedic writing, suggesting that certain attempts at humor can feel childish or overly theatrical. Overall, the game successfully combines fun gameplay with a humorous narrative, making it a standout experience for those who appreciate a satirical take on its subject matter.

    • “This game scratches the gambling itch without sprinkling in microtransactions, with a dash of ultra-late-stage-capitalistic dystopian humor.”
    • “If you want a game that is smart, deliberate, funny, and fun-- you found it.”
    • “Pretty fun game, trading is hectic and unpredictable, and it's funny to see the events unfold and react differently to your guy getting married to the love of their life depending on whether or not you shorted his stock.”
    • “The humor feels forced and often falls flat.”
    • “The jokes are repetitive and lack originality.”
    • “The attempts at humor are more cringeworthy than amusing.”
  • graphics
    15 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are generally praised for their great visuals and unique art style, which many find enjoyable and thematically fitting. However, some reviewers note that while the aesthetics are appealing, the overall execution feels shallow and lacks depth, with a few expressing a preference for simpler 2D designs over the 3D models used. Overall, the visuals are seen as a strong point, but there is a call for more refinement and creativity in the artwork and gameplay integration.

    • “The interface and graphics are extremely thematic.”
    • “Its visuals are great and I love the variety of events.”
    • “Just a wonderfully sick little number game with stellar music, visuals and writing.”
    • “The newscaster interstitials, as far as I can tell, are pointless and sort of disappointing from an artistic point of view; it's a single still with a random jitter in between literally every game screen.”
    • “It's not bad, and there's definitely potential there, especially if the creators spent more time on the artwork (which is definitely the strongest point) and tuning the basic gameplay parameters, but as it is currently, I would have priced it at $3-5.”
    • “The graphical style is competent, but not great.”
  • story
    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story features unique character arcs and humorous lore that enhance the trading experience, with players engaging in scripted events that reflect the cultures of various planets. While many find the storytelling engaging and cleverly integrated into gameplay, some criticize the overall narrative for lacking depth and coherence, relying heavily on superficial news segments rather than a cohesive plot. Overall, the game offers a mix of entertaining storytelling and quirky humor, though its brevity and occasional disjointedness may leave some players wanting more.

    • “If you love gambling, this game is great, and its story and world are funny too.”
    • “The lore is delivered in a digestible way in a show-don't-tell fashion - finding out what each planet's culture is like through the events that happen when you are trading during the day is great storytelling.”
    • “This is an action arcade game about buying and selling stocks, but it is jam-packed with story elements that are so compelling and interesting -- I needed money to finish my campaign so I picked a baby and went all in, dropping every cent I had on their speculative future, and then at the age of two they had a life event 'thrown out window' and I lost everything.”
    • “The characters each have their own storyline with scripted events on each day. This is fine in concept, being able to plan ahead on additional runs can be interesting, but in practice, most of them are just losing money on certain days, which you really can't do much about other than just make more money, which you're already trying to do.”
    • “It does not tell a life story; there isn't a lot of logic or consistency.”
    • “Almost nonexistent story; not only fails to add onto the world of the game, but it also undermines the worldbuilding.”
  • replayability
    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the game's replayability is seen as limited, primarily due to a lack of diverse modes and mechanics. While some players find enjoyment in pursuing different campaign endings and high scores, many express a desire for additional features like a roguelike mode or creative options to enhance replay value. The core gameplay is fun, but without significant updates or expansions, it may not sustain long-term engagement for all players.

    • “If they can add a creative mode or an escalating heat mode of sorts, that would make this game amazing and infinitely replayable.”
    • “Most replayability comes from going for the different individual campaign endings or chasing an insane high score, baby maxing, and all that.”
    • “This game is incredible; literally the only thing I want from it now is some way to see friends' scores for even more replayability.”
    • “It's a fun idea and the art and writing style really help flesh out the experience, but I think the core gameplay just isn't quite there for real replayability.”
    • “I beat it in 22 hours - with only campaigns and no randomizer, there isn't really any replay value for me.”
    • “Most replayability comes from going for the different individual campaign endings or chasing an insane high score, baby maxing and all that.”
  • music
    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game receives mixed reviews, with many praising it as top-tier and a standout feature that enhances the overall experience, while others feel it falls short compared to previous titles. Some users highlight the unique soundtracks for each planet, contributing to the game's charm, while a few express disappointment with the newer compositions. Overall, the music is seen as a significant asset, though opinions on its quality vary.

    • “Game has great visuals, music, and the gameplay is surprisingly enjoyable.”
    • “Honestly a gem, great artwork, great music, simple but fun gameplay.”
    • “Every planet has its own soundtrack, and the music is the best part of the experience.”
    • “And the music is much worse, too!”
  • emotional
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players report a profound emotional investment in the game, highlighting its ability to evoke a wide range of feelings, from joy to despair. The unique narrative, centered around an intergalactic baby economy, creates intense emotional highs and lows, making it stand out among single-player experiences. There is anticipation for future content that may further explore complex emotional themes, particularly related to personal struggles and challenges.

    • “This game made me feel every emotion.”
    • “Hard to think of another single player game that carries emotional highs and lows like this one.”
    • “I left emotionally invested in an intergalactic baby economy.”
  • character development
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Reviews indicate that character development is often perceived as frustrating, with players finding the level, campaign, and character design lacking in depth and engagement.

    • “The character development feels shallow and unengaging, making it hard to connect with the protagonists.”
    • “I was disappointed by the lack of meaningful choices that impact character growth throughout the game.”
    • “The characters seem one-dimensional, lacking the depth and complexity that would make their journeys compelling.”
  • grinding
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect challenging due to the gradual unlocking of tools, which can hinder progress. Additionally, some elements, like side bets, rely on luck, making the grinding experience feel less rewarding for those who prefer a more skill-based approach.

    • “The first one is tricky because not all tools are unlocked to you from the start, and the last one requires a little bit of luck with side bets that I don't feel like grinding for.”
    • “The grinding in this game feels endless and tedious, making it hard to stay engaged.”
    • “I find myself spending more time grinding for resources than actually enjoying the gameplay.”
  • monetization
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game effectively satisfies players' gambling desires without relying on microtransactions, incorporating a satirical take on ultra-late-stage capitalism.
