Note: You can Press the ESC key to change between fullscreen and... not fullscreen. The window is also resizable for your convinience. In the top left corner there is a button which can turn off the music, which is useful if you're playing the game while doing something else. Don't know why you'd turn it off as it's pretty groovy, but still.
Feedback
Summary
Praise Be the Line is an engaging idle game with a unique stock price mechanic that adds strategic depth. Players appreciated the music and the tone of the game, which conveys a sense of dread as it progresses. Some users were initially confused about the win state but enjoyed the gameplay once familiar. Minor suggestions include adding number prefixes for large values and more soundtrack variety.

PatronThat was an exprience. Solid idle game (I love idle games!). Was quite the ride! Everything was super solid, and it felt like a whole exprience.
My main feedback would be number prefixes (for millions, billions, trillions) but really that's a minute detail. Perhaps more soudntracks would have been nice. The music was great, which only made me want more!
Super well done you two! :D

I think this is very cleverly done, though I did get a little confused at first but once I got to grips with it, I was enjoying the stonks! Great job!

This game really starts to convey the tone of dread when it gets going. If you're going to play this game, push past the initial hump and play it out through to the winstate. You will be surprised.

A nice take on the overdone genre of idle game; the stock prize thing made it have a tactic too it and made it far more interesting than most other games of this type. I enjoyed it.

Cool idea! The economy and the stock price also occurred to me at once :D

Is there a win state? I wasn't entirely sure what to do, but I did enjoy messing around and trying to get the stock price to go up. There is kind of a way to cheese it in the beginning if you just mash sell + buy.
I liked the music. Overall good submission.
