Space Warlord Baby Trading Simulator

Review from someone who successfully used to trade equities full time before retiring (working a "normal" job now) due to a lack of human interaction behind a screen. The entire premise of the game is fun. Good concepts with poor execution.. I thought people were just bad at the game and didn't know how to trade. I was indeed wrong. Would actually be fun if not for: 1. Some events cause random fluctuations in speed, while there is no way to "Sell all" and "Buy maximum" like in real life, which would counteract this. It could still shake things up, but you're locked behind a click delay, not how fast you personally can click. You buy whole shares one at a time. 2. Shorting in this game is locked behind a MASSIVE timer. Selling quickly is prevented, but holding too long is also. It has this extremely awkward window of time it allows you to short. It's more difficult than options trading. If the mechanic was more like options, it'd be fun. Yes, a timer to buy back the shares and a timer to short again after closing. Why? This exclusively causes frustration. It's not a difficulty spike; it causes us to either A. not use it at all or B. be forced to use it during extra-challenging campaigns that intentionally take away your tools.. which railroads us into gambling rather than investing. Not very fun loop of resetting until you "don't" get boned by luck. The whole concept of investing is minimizing risk, and this game sometimes forces it (specifically randomness... i.e. luck) upon the player. Can't stress enough how dumb and anti-fun this is. 3. If your baby goes bankrupt (dies) while you have an outstanding short on it, your short closes worthless, rather than being maximum profit like in the real world. Developers, if you want to prevent people from cheesing the shorts, give us less information about the max length of life. It would feel so satisfying to correctly predict the death. You can even nerf the % reward from doing so if you need to. 3. *Spoilers* some Research Analysts are always the best (price average and life expectancy), while the others are genuinely useless. It's the difference between an associate and a senior analyst with 30+ years of exp. Many times you get free information anyway of rough age and price ceiling from the "side bets" window, which takes away from the risk/reward of using the analysts. 4. You can buy into a session without actually having enough money to purchase a share. And no, they don't allow fractional shares. If a share is $12,126 you sure as heck better not have only $12,125. You have to do math... in your head. I say that because there is an entry price. Entry price is usually 112% of a single share in the baby. Why is there an entry price? It honestly does add to the high stakes feeling of the game, but it unsuccessfully calculating your ability to buy a single share in the baby is diabolical. Happened multiple times where I just sat there and watched the price soar from default, unable to actually do anything until the end where there's an obvious short.... aaaaaaaaaaaaaand your shorts close worthless in this game. So you spend the massive entry fee for nothing. Imagine spending a quarter million dollar entrance fee for the chance to trade a baby at 250x margin, just for you to not be able to trade... It's so close to being fun! Please add sell-all/buy-max, fractional shares, cut the shorting timer in half and double the shorting-hold duration, make the other analysts have a purpose, and prevent us from being able to cheese a trading session by leaving before the baby dies if we don't get results we like. I'll update my review if that happens :D Great job on the game otherwise!

Never before Have I said "You ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ why didnt this baby kill itself im $100,000 in debt" before playing this game

There was a pretty big learning curve for me, but after a few hours, I got the hang of the game. After 60 hours, I've managed to 100% the game and feel pretty good about myself... Even after all my briefs moments of manic insanity throughout my time playing. Definitely recommend!

The game is cool conceptually. I just thought it was a little too repetitive and that I'd beat it too quickly, so I refunded it. But I don't think its bad and I would recommend it to people who like gambling games.

it do be what it say it do be.

Stupid baby died before I could sell
