Silver Price
The world’s not looking excellent these days. Economically, as much as anything else. Throughout the board, stocks are in freefall thanks to Covid-19 keeping prospective clients and employees indoors in self-isolation. If there’s a silver lining, it’s that all those rugged down patterns look a little bit like ski slopes if you squint hard enough. Go Into Stock Jump— a complimentary little browser game about using real-time economic decline to score a Winter Olympic world record.
Originating From McPixel and Mosh Pit Simulator designer and pop-up firetruck DJ Sos Sosowksi, Stock Jump is a fast little dance on the free enterprise’s deathbed.
To celebrate the fall of commercialism I made a brand-new game! Stock Jump! How far you can leap from plunging stocks? Used genuine stock exchange data! https://t.co/XP1YA5XQNz pic.twitter.com/pWml7CsAly

An intimidating front-end lets you select from a shocking list of real-life stock exchanges, and any business publically listed therein. Each one is tracked and transferred to Sosowski’s slopes in real-time, letting you enjoy an economic collapse as it happens.
Sure, it’s no Steep— Sosowski’s video game is more noteworthy for its unique use of financial information than its ski-jump intricacy. But when was the last time a sports game let you high-jump off the existing market price of Gregg’s, eh? Activision Blizzard’s one is particularly nasty, with a last-minute peak tempting some risky, well-timed leaps.
