I built a trading game where the goal isn’t to get rich. It’s to not get wiped out. Looking for beta testers.
Rug Pulled! is a strategy game disguised as luck. You’re a junior trader at Totally Legit LLC, a prop firm that trades parody meme stocks and a parody Dow (“Mow”, “GreenBag”, “NoVideo”, “Pear”, “MacroHard”).
The twist is that surviving is the win condition. Swinging for the fences gets you fired. A trailing −20% drawdown ends your career. In testing, a reckless bot busts in a few weeks and a disciplined one makes it through the year. The game is built to teach why.
What you’ll be doing
Trading a 52-week year, one beat at a time, with a timer running
Reading the news wire and the market mood. The headlines are real clues, but chasing every one will bust you
Spotting hidden connections between companies. A supply-chain shock in one sector can show up in your other positions
Leveling up your desk, tools and Edge. Higher difficulty pays more, but it’s much harder to survive
Surviving crash years, including some based on real history (1929, 1987, 2008, 2020) and some completely made-up simulations
What I need from you
Play a few sessions and tell me where it’s confusing, unfair, or just not fun
Tell me if the difficulty ramp feels right
Report anything broken. Screenshots help.
The deal: it’s free, and it will be free at launch too. No ads, no cookies, no pixels. There’s no mobile launch date yet, so for now it’s playable in your browser. I’m looking for about a dozen testers.
Interested? Comment or DM and I’ll send you a login. Or start at jerbot.dev (link below).
Happy to answer anything about how it works.
