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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

So, this game isn't *super* complex. It's not really a simulation, but it's just that right niche for those people who like to try and make numbers rise in a sort of "stock-market light", which is a niche i fall into myself. The game has a good few things that add some spice to it's formula, such as the random news messages that come in influencing the course of stocks.
I think one of the main things I'd like to see would be a save feature of sorts. As your progress resets whenever you quit the game. Maybe something akin to what those idle flash games used to do where your progress is auto-saved and you have the option to reset it? Just a thought.
I can safely recommend it for what it sets out to do.

gameplay is slow, achievements are way too "grindy" for how much content there is. i got bored really fast. the news feed also moves too fast to buy shares accordingly.

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.
