Player Comments on Budget Boom

This could be a really great story/game. Unfortunately, while it is far too short and many choices instantly lead to death or a win, without any forethought. I'd suggest using variables to keep track of income, etc. and allowing the user to reach more interesting places by their own decisions, as the story suggests. This is still worthy of some attention.

Not the worst story game I've ever read, but far from the best. I expected a fun game with some different paths and branches, but it was very linear, and it was simply; 'If you don't do this, game over.' I also found very it very weird how winning the lottery was super easy and it immediately won you the game, even though there is often a bunch more financial problems later on that could have made the game more interesting. I was also expecting to actually make some mathematical decisions, but I guess I shouldn't have expected so much. 3/8

You're telling me I spent all my money on gambling and didn't get the good ending?? Unacceptable!!

Such a nice stowy! :3

This certainly isn't great, but it shows some potential.

First, I'd like to point out that the writing itself is actually decent. Few grammar errors and the spelling is good. My only problem with the writing is that the author sometimes uses all caps with multiple exclamation marks. It makes you look much less mature and just generally isn't a good thing to do in a story.

Now for the content. The plot was somewhat there, but the story takes place over such a short amount of time that nothing can be developed. All characters only interact with the player through dry narration and nothing really changes. There's no real character to any of the people in the story. Another thing I have a problem with is that the story is set up to allow the player to control things and advertised saying that the player's actions will impact the future, but most choices just lead to a game-over or win screen. There's no real substance to this and it's frustrating. Also, some of the events are a little farfetched. *SPOILERS* Like why would the owner of the expensive apartment rig a lottery for you? WHy wouldn't he just do it for himself? It doesn't really make sense.

I'll offer some advice to close. Variables and scripting could make this story so much better. There could be a money variable and even random things that occur in the story to make it replayable. Of course, that would take longer, but that's exactly what this needs. It needs more effort and time from the author, then it could be actually pretty good.

Good,little unconferbale

good game

Good short game! :)

Whoa, that was severely lacking. It was set up really well and I thought it was going to take me through each day, choosing how to budget and so on...but no, one day and it's already over. Make this longer and it'll be really good.

Nice little time waster. Could have been a bit longer, but all in all, it was still pretty fun. I actually quite liked the humorous bits aswell. 4/8

The diamond necklace dissolved my money. );

Not enough content but was amusing for 2 minutes

.....this game is short.....

Nice game. I like the way you made it.

LOL! Got the 25 million dollars\karma thing first try!

ridiculously short and simple....

Much finance managing

Didn't really seem to involve mu

It was fun and I won!

It's an ok game

Had potential

wow made only 2 choices and instantly won...

It's a bare-bones version of what could have been a fantastic game.

Seth says YES! Great game all around.

kinda funny, but gambling makes you win?

i won

Good. Should be longer. Better as a game. Necklaces aren't cursed.

pretty good

Love the idea, but I don't think you made it come together that well. And actually, if you make $450 a week and you spend $300 a month, your monthly income is not $150 a month. Assuming that there are 4 weeks a month, and leaving out food and other expenses, you're making $1,500 a month, just a little math fun fact for you.

Very good.

YAY! I WON! I GOT 27 MILL BABY! WOOO! IM SET FOR LIFE!!!

Good game and cencept.

A great concept for a game. The ending certainly was lacking something. I really did enjoy watching my budget, but I sometimes didn't understand the dramatic losing.

Not bad. A very cool concept, but the end was...unsatisfying. Very good for a first game, though!

Nice concept and pretty good game.

Very cool concept, but it ended way too randomly. Add more depth and a day-to-day system, and we could have a real winner here!

AWESOME

This game started as being very promising and just deteriorated into a really bad game. I was ACTUALLY enjoying budgeting my money and choosing my options wisely until then. oh well...

I got the lottery but went back to get another path. I then sold the stocks for a million. A good game, and I love the idea. Reminds me of 'The Sims'.

hey, I won the lottery- although I'm not sure it's really a "budget" themed game if buying a lottery ticket is the best way to go.

Cool game! Could be longer though. It would be great if there were variables like money and hunger displayed at the bottom though. Simple but would be a huge improvement!

RATED

short but good, played it a second time and won the lottery!

that was short

Good Game, WHY IS IT NOT FEATURED. 8.5/10. Could have been longer.

cool!

Won the lottery..hmppmm I wish

the lottery is lame

The second time I played it. I kinda took your idea.
Ha Ha

Wow, Awsome game. I got a promotion. You could make the game longer. It will help me 'cause I'm trying to implement a save feature and it would really be nice to have more than 5 games that need it.

25 mil!!!!!

thats betta... i ended with 2001025$

what! they cant use a credit card i have with my number! i`d just void the card, and tell them to find my card!

This game gets better every time I play it. Keep it up, maybe a sequel?

27 million bucks for me!

sweet game, it was really fun.

That was fun! I won! I can't think of much to critique on this game... sorry!

sweet, the highest level of winning. sounds good to me. well thought out and nice work with the multiple endings. altho some of them were kinda weak it was still very fun to play.

the game's COOL!!!!i love it

im 11 and i know how to keep my budget well!

Kind of pointless. I'm impressed that you bothered to make a game requiring you to keep track of numbers, however.

that was a really cool game! very real.... well kinda....

it was pretty good, but it could be better. I liked some of the endings, like the cursed diamond neclace one. ;^)

Pretty fun, neat twist on the CYOA game. Never thought about doing a budget one.

It's too short. It should be a better game, but it's still kind of good. Hey, maker of the game, please make games like this that are longer and consider more than a budget, kind of like The Sims.

kool

Ah humbug. A lousy 2 million. Just kidding! very fun game, interesting choices. Extremely entertaining.

I won :) I got my masters degree, and the highest promotion possible at work. This is a fun game :)

i won

This was cool how you could live a pretend life but still make choices like in real life.
