About the Game

Start with a $1,000 funded stake and 20 seconds on the clock. Read the candlestick chart, go long or short, and try to walk away with a profit. Whatever is left after repaying the stake goes into a skill tree full of upgrades — bigger funding, higher leverage, longer sessions, market manipulation tools, and technical indicators. Keep trading, keep upgrading, and scale from a nobody with a laptop into a trader moving billions with 100x leverage who can literally push the market around.

That is Frenzy Mode. Play it on Normal to learn the ropes or on Hard where one bad session ends the run.

When the intensity is too much, switch to Chill Mode (Coming Soon). No timer, no failure. Just a chart, music, and an optional contract to chase — like hitting a profit target or landing a streak of winning trades.

Climb Mode (Coming Soon) turns trading into a roguelike. Fight through a procedural map of trading challenges with different rules at every node. One loss and the run is over.

The background reacts to the music. Waves, particles, geometry, and light pulse with the beat behind every session, and the combination changes each time.
