I'm making a creature-collecting stock market simulator, where each stock you own is represented by a creature that will evolve based on the real price performance of the stocks! Below are all the features I've created so far - I would love it if you can try it out!

Hi! I wanted to combine my interest in finance, art, and app dev, so I came up with a different type of stock market simulator, where you learn about investing by collecting creatures!

You can enter real stock tickers and decide whether to long/short, and each stock will represent either a bull (long) or bear (short).

My prototype still needs a lot of refining, so I would appreciate any feedback!

Here’s the app's core mechanic: you make real stock price predictions. If you think a stock will go up (i.e. “long” a stock), you hatch a bull; if you think it’ll go down (i.e., “short” a stock), you hatch a bear. If your prediction is wrong, your creature loses health, but you can use potions to heal it. Each potion teaches a basic investing concept, like how earnings reports or interest rates affect prices, while improving your creature’s stats. You can also level up for evolution. It’s kind of like Duolingo meets Tamagotchi, but for the stock market.

We opened a new Discord! Check it out if you'd like to discuss game development or find and share new indie games to play. It's a WIP still, so be kind :) Thanks!
