Buy Low Sell High

BLSH is a stock trading and investment *game*. I call it a game because it isn't close, right now, to what one might consider a simulator where the expectation of market dynamics is satisfied. While I had to choose either "recommended" or "not recommended," I felt I couldn't do either but had to choose one.. There are some bugs with the UI where my account value and cash available were not reconciling. I had twice the cash available as my account value but I had almost 100% invested. There are certainly some user experience issues that can make things more comfortable such as an option of going all in, liquidating, clicking on a news item opens the chart.. The only option is to buy and sell, but you can't go short which is a real bummer. But I think, at this point, the largest issues are about how the market is operating. It seems the author made this for fun but might not really know how markets trade and work. For example, companies are frequently announcing bankruptcies while their stock is trading at a very healthy premium. If a company is trading at 95$ a share, then suddenly (horrifically) announces bankruptcy, the stock should literally gap down to 0$ almost instantaneously. In fact, the news items do not seem to correlate with any price movement leading up to the news or even after the news item is announced. Conversely, I've watched stocks nosedive over a multi-year timeframe, or go absolutely parabolic, with no news to trigger it. Another key takeaway is that no trader uses a line chart. Line charts that show only price is straight up gambling. Traders need to see the range in which a stock trades to be able to determine risk, so bars or candlesticks are used. Stocks in the real world do indeed move with some level of predictability based on common technical price patterns. These patterns are largely absent from the price simulation in BLSH, making the entire endeavor a literal guess which is, contrary to popular opinion, not how traders and investors behave. There is quite a bit of work to be done here, but there is potential. I've always thought trading would make for a great game when done right, and BLSH is building a good foundation for it. It's early yet, but with more time and research, it could be quite fun.

BLSH is a game about opportunism and luck- but that only brings you so far. There is much the game currently lacks, but the overall abundance of communication from the Developer(s) makes this simulation worth my time. As a small production they are persistent with update logs and communicate with the community whenever possible. So, what does this game offer? First off, besides the overall cleanly displayed graphic, the music was a definite strong point. It set the mood for the game and made the experience more relaxing. Sadly it is rather short, and the looping can be a bit disorienting. Besides this, it is quite easy to use and becomes fun when you actually attempt to make a decent profit. This teaches the basics of compound interest and even incorporates the news which affects a stock price. Well… not really. There are two problems. First off it tells you news rather than showing you, and secondly, it doesn't genuinely affect the price of anything (From my experience).  So far I have noticed that it would be pleasant to have a feature that would allow you to buy 'Quantity' just under your ‘Available Cash’, or increments of money which would make buying into a company faster and more intuitive. Otherwise, you spend time changing the number to round it close to what you have while the game continnues without you. Secondly, the option to slow down, or possibly pause the game might be beneficial. The game is easy to grasp, but spending time looking at trends without it constantly changing would allow you to make better decisions.Lastly, working on a script for a tutorial when the game comes out to people more into it would positively impact the game. In Conclusion - The game has a very clean aesthetic with minimal graphical issues. I had an issue with my balance overlapping with the 'Account Value’, but otherwise was kind upon the eyes. Keep in mind this is more of a simulation rather than a game when purchasing this product. Thank you again, developer(s), for continuing to reach out to the players, and doing your best to make the game even more enjoyable.

Pros -Teaches the basics of compound interest -Shows how news can affect the stock price of a company -Easy to use and fun to play Cons -Perhaps is a bit too basic to be considered a simulation. More of a game. -News feed is very fast. Maybe that could be slowed down a bit Overall, good foundation that can be used to build something even greater!

Game was abandoned. I had some small hopes it would become something great. Sadly it seems that nothing further will happen. It is enjoyable to a point but it does not function to it's best abilities.

Had $50.000 and decided to go all in on RedFoxStudios, the stock went down to $0... I'm broke now but atleast i got a milestone i guess lol. The game is pretty fun, ran into some UI bugs here and there but other than that everything runs well. I think that a buy max/ sell max option should be available, just so its easier to quickly get rid of all your stocks when you see price is taking a dive.

Milestones seem to be slightly broken. Was "caught" for a FBI bust, but 50% of my cash didn't disappear and it happened completely randomly. Also not sure how you would go about getting the launder money milestone. News doesn't seem to affect stocks in any way. I do enjoy the game though, but it does not reflect a real world trading environment. Would it also be possible to add a speed up function? Like "skip to next day"? Preferrably the option to use candlestick bars would really improve the game. Where's the option to short? Where is forex trading? Where's the instructions on how to play? I closed the game and nothing saved. Seemingly there's no option to save, and neither does anything save. The earnings list is completely messed up too. For example, I bought 10 "WHY" at $125. The price is now at $155 and increasing, however it shows I have a loss of $866 in the earnings screen. I then sold at $154 and rebought at $152, price then increased to $166 and now it shows I have a loss of $2400 on WHY. The charts do sometimes glitch out too. Sometimes they'll freeze and the price will keep moving. Only way to fix that is to open another chart, change timeframe and wait. I do want to re-iterate, I did love the game though. Just needs immense improving. As it stands now, I cannot recommend it as there are too many things that needs fixing. But in the future, I'm sure this can be an incredibly fun game to play for everyone.

OMG this gets my emotions running like real stocks -- but a lot more fun and laughter at my ridiculous decisions. Hahaha~~ (*≧▽≦)ﾉｼ)) I wish I could play the real stock market with this much oomph and just make great split second decisions. I doubled my money in the first 5-10 minutes to $10,000-$11,000 then lost 75% -- OMG this game...lool~! Great experience.

ok lil game but there is no save u can go back to so once u close it u start from the begining again

good practice for the real thing IMO

I made about 80k and then game crashed I lost it all, then I made some more, then I closed the game to come back later and find out there is no saving progress. there is no point really of this game, it's like a chess game against a bot. Sorry, No.
