Rug Pull: Crypto Tycoon

You start in a basement with five hundred dollars and three coins on one monitor. You trade your way out of it. Then you launch a coin of your own, watch people put their trust into it, and decide what kind of person you are going to be about that.

A day is twenty seconds of prices moving and your finger on the button. Between days you buy the room around you, read what the holders are saying, and pick the weekly moves that keep your project alive. At the end of it there is one decision: build the thing you promised, or take the money and disappear.

Either way you keep playing, because the cash and the toys carry into the next cycle. So does your name, and that is the part you cannot buy back.

What's in it

• Trade a live market in twenty-second days, with a bail-out button and a tilt meter that punishes chasing
• Launch your own coin: pick the name, the supply, the promises you will be held to
• Holders who buy in, ask questions, and notice what you do next
• A weekly project board where every action costs something you would rather keep
• Build it for real, or rug it and run for the airport
• Investigators, rivals and a reputation that follows you into the next cycle
• A satire. No real coin, exchange, company or person appears in the game, and nothing in it is financial advice.

The itch.io version

• No ads. No in-app purchases. The full game, once.
• Mouse and keyboard. Esc closes the About screen.
• A portrait window (540x960) that you can resize.
