Its bad. Bit misleading, all it is, is numbers will go and down and its flip of coin if goes up and down simliar to the markets but at least in the markets you have some idea what you trading in profile, charts etc.... The layout is bad as well, the news report is difficult to read with all information cramed in one spot. Serious updating is needed.

[h1]TL;DR[/h1] 0/10: Proof that sometimes buying trading cards, emoticons, and/or profile backgrounds on the Steam market is more fun then some of the games the player is liable to buy. [h1]Overview:[/h1] StockUp is a shovelware gambling "game" masquerading as a stock market game. You buy stocks, and the prices may go up or down. Contrary to what is said on the store page, this game is neither "fun" nor a "simulation." [h1]Graphics and Sound:[/h1] I knew what I was getting when I got this bundle. (Which I only got for the sake of buying Make That Money.) So what if it's 2017 and the game is text driven? There's quite a few text-based games that date back to the Reagan administration that are good fun. Obviously a stock market game doesn't need graphics to make it interesting or fun, but I expect the text to be clear and concise! http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1220592827 The sound on the other hand, is actually far more positive. The soundtrack may be...

Hum...Boring,Goals are really impossible,the use of keyboard to buy... The Idea ain't so Bad but it's too expensive for what it is. Waste of Time

Deffinatly only worth 50 cents this game does not follow the market and their is no news feeds.

just some numbers nothing more. And the loading screens are ... ... .... For 0.50$ its ok but nothing more. Shit i paid 3.99€ -.-

!!! WARNING !!! I was just going through my old reviews and noticed this developer has removed their affiliation to this title (along with many others). "EcoGames" developer page on steam currently lists 5 games. 4 with no developer or publisher, and one game developed and published by "FireFly", whom is not "EcoGames". The store page for this game currently has a link above the "about game" in the description for another game called "Little Kingdoms" that is developed and published by... "LittleKingdoms" I don't consider myself particularly smart, but something is very off here... ORIGINAL REVIEW BELOW: 1. You may have noticed that all of EcoGames games, are about easily making money with little effort. It seems as though this is exactly what they expect from their games. Easy money, no effort. 2. I have removed all other complaints, as if you cared about your game, they wouldn't exist. Thus my first complaint, says it all. If you don't like your game, why should we?

Not a true market simulation in the sense that all price fluctuations are completely random and there aren't any real trends to follow. What seems to be the winning strategy is to pick a few low-value stocks in the beginning and hope the game decides to arbitrarily 'boost' one of them, which doesn't take any skill or pattern recognition/business acumen at all, just blind luck.

Review: I bought this game with a 90% off coupon (80c) i got when crafting a badge. The name and description of the "game" is misleading and incorrect. Although it might look like a fun or strategic simulation the game has no "meaning" whats so ever. All you do is try and gamble your money on different stocks that might go up or down, there is no strategy whats so ever. If you do get this game for a very little amount of money it may be worth it. I DO NOT recommend buying this game for what it may seem it is.

StockUp is a very poorly made text based spreadsheet simulator where you're supposed to play the stock market, however, while you can buy and sell stocks, the market itself does not behave like a stock market. Stocks just tick up and down randomly... and the purpose of a simulator is to simulate! The developer didn't bother. This really is quite trash and does deserve the rather large number of negative reviews it has (in fact I was surprised how many people bought and played the game, the screenshots alone should be enough to deter gamers). There is, however, something very special about this game. Ludicrously, and I'm not making this up, it was made with the crapfest that is GameGuru. Yeah, you know, the drag and drop construction kit for making FPS games. Except this isn't an FPS game at all... some weird contortionism took place here to twist GameGuru into presenting a spreadsheet game. Does that mean the outcome is a good one? Of course not, here's why. From a technica...

I play Steam games in alphabetical order and you can watch my review here (Game 2 of 3 featured): https://youtu.be/Ch68PXSf1Ug A stock market simulator where the chance of a stock increasing or decreasing is 50/50, meaning that there are no viable tactics, just luck. Should you decide to play this game, the best method of winning is to immediately pause the game, buy 1 stock and then wait for 10-15 minutes while the bonus system increases your stock to the maximum value. Sell, then repeat 10 times to beat the game. That said, I don't know why you would do this rather than spending your money on a game that is actually good.
