Reviews for "Stonks"

After showing the four tabs, it gets stuck on what looks like it would be the main root gameplay scene with a never-ending Loading indicator. If I go to my browser's Developer Tools under Console it shows this error in red

FormatException: Input string was not in a correct format.
at System.Number.ParseSingle (System.String value, System.Globalization.NumberStyles options, System.Globalization.NumberFormatInfo numfmt) [0x00000] in <00000000000000000000000000000000>:0

It looks like it would be a kinda neat game, but is currently completely unplayable at least for me.

Edit: Yep, game works now!

While the concept is great, there seems to be at least one playability issue. The list of stocks that shows up in the stocks screen doesn't seem to be fixed even if I mouse to scroll through the whole thing. I bought four different stocks and then didn't have any elegant way of going back to the stocks screen and selling them all off (2-3 would show up but not all four). In principle maybe I could make a separate list of which stocks I bought so I can go back and search for them later, but in practice people aren't likely to do that playing a video game.

The other issue might just be because of my schedule, but it's tough to get engaged when I can only play when markets are closed and I would have to just buy stuff and check on it again the next day, and keep doing that for the entire course of the game. Maybe it would be better if I were free during daytime and could simulate day trading.

Ey! Sorry about that. It should be fixed now. We had an issue with the api. Let me know if you encounter any other problems. Thank you for reporting this :)

I never thought someone could condense the economy into game form.
But here we are.

MonoFlauta responds:

:D Thank you for the review and thank you for playing!

wow! i like how it gets real data and lets you actually play stock exchange. kewl!

MonoFlauta responds:

Thank you for the review and for playing!

Great game! My only issue is that scrolling down or up is really slow. It could be sped up a little bit.

MonoFlauta responds:

Thank you for the review :D We will definitely need to tweak that setting. Just in case you keep playing, for now you can click and drag instead of using the mouse wheel. It was originally made as a mobile game but we definitely need to fix that :)
Thank you once again for playing and for the review!
