Unstable Market
UNSTABLE MARKET is a high-stakes market simulation game where every decision could save or doom your child's life.
You are a desperate parent. Your child is dying from a rare illness. The hospital has a treatment, but it costs $50,000. You only have $7,000 in savings. You don't have time to save slowly. You have to gamble everything in the most unstable market on earth.
The market is chaos. Prices swing wildly. Signals lie. Events crash or boom without warning. Every day, you must decide: buy, hold, sell, or risk it all.
Your Goal: Earn $50,000 for your child.
How to Play
Step 1: Choose Your Lifestyle. Start by choosing how you want to live while trying to save your child:
Frugal ($400/day) - Bare survival, low pressure.
Comfortable ($900/day) - Balanced, manageable risk
Luxurious ($1,600/day) - High living costs, high stress
Every day, your lifestyle cost is deducted from your cash. The more comfortable you live, the more pressure you face.
Step 2: Study the Market. You have 4 assets to invest in:
AtriumCoin, NexTech, MoonByte, MemeFrog this assets each have different riskiness.
Each asset shows: Current Price - What it costs to buy 1 share; Signal - Green BULLISH, Yellow UNCERTAIN, or Red BEARISH

I was honestly a little sad when I reached the target amount of money and couldn’t keep playing XD. The UI could use a bit more clarity, and some kind of current profit/loss display would be nice. The slider doesn’t seem to work properly either.
I saw some potential in this game and actually got hooked!
Thanks for the feedback. I am still working on the game, and I will look into the things you said.
This is a very nice game
Thanks
