The world's not looking good these days. Economically, as much as anything else. Across the board, stocks are in freefall thanks to Covid-19 keeping potential customers and workers indoors in self-isolation. If there's a silver lining, it's that all those jagged downward trends look a little bit like ski slopes if you squint hard enough. Enter Stock Jump - a free little browser game about using real-time economic decline to score a Winter Olympic world record.

Coming from McPixel and Mosh Pit Simulator developer and pop-up firetruck DJ Sos Sosowksi, Stock Jump is a quick little dance on the free market's deathbed.

To celebrate the fall of capitalism I made a new game! Stock Jump! How far you can jump from plunging stocks? Made using real stock market data! https://t.co/XP1YA5XQNz pic.twitter.com/pWml7CsAly

An intimidating front-end lets you pick from a staggering list of real-life stock exchanges, and any company publically listed therein. Each one is tracked and transferred to Sosowski's slopes in real-time, letting you watch an economic collapse as it happens.

Sure, it's no Steep - Sosowski's game is more notable for its novel use of financial data than its ski-jump complexity. But when was the last time a sports game let you high-jump off the current market value of Gregg's, eh? Activision Blizzard's one is particularly nasty, with a last-minute peak tempting some risky, well-timed leaps.

If you ever feel like tearing powder at the expense of Electronic Arts' stockholders, you can play Stock Jump for free here.
