Very fun with one little note
This is honestly a pretty fun game for a mobile. I’ve already completed two 20 year runs and will likely do it a third time because there’s still opportunity to do even better the next time with what I learned the last two times through. I also appreciate that the aesthetic changes you buy with bananas carry over (even if you have to wait until you make it to a bigger office for some of them).
Speaking of the bananas, however, I have had some trouble with getting the quests to actually go through. More than once now I’ve done what the quest says (release a game of a specific type) and it hasn’t delivered the bananas. I’ve tried it both in developing and releasing a new game and a sequel. A couple of times it’s acknowledged it maybe the next time I loaded in and said that it had delays (accidents, traffic jams, etc.). I wish there was some sort of acknowledgment to say that you completed it and they’re on their way, but whether it recognizes you’ve completed it or not, the “confirm quest” button just reiterates what the quest is asking for. Even when I have completed the quest and later get bananas delivered, it doesn’t acknowledge the quest as complete.
This is really just a minor side detail and doesn’t impact gameplay which is why I’m still giving this game 5⭐️ because the game itself is a pretty fun one and you can experiment with different combinations and directions.Show lessCheesyg
Whole lotta yap
Very solid game, nothing crazy just a simple simulator game it’s addicting I play it at home, work really anywhere I can. Only thing is I wish after the 20 year mark your high scores would keep updating I just have a hard time not having my high scores tracked idk probably just a me thing. It would be cool if like instead of the end game being 20 it’d be like 30-40 maybe but like I said probably just a me thing. I love this game is one of my favorites plz add some updates or something to the game or try and make a third because I don’t want to grow tired of this game I have most of the achievements done and I really don’t want to get bored of the game. But keep up the great work I look forward to more games in the future or updates!Show lessHardKnocks.
Good but needs work
Lol this game is awesome just won the grand prize finally now going to try and figure out creating my own system. I’m not sure how big my staff can be yet but if the max is only 8 then that needs to improve. Also I wish I could see more than 32 previous games maybe favorite one or something to revisit the idea on another system or different timing. The previous games I would also like to be able to click on and see what my combination was. There’s a lot of combinations which is awesome and it will tell you at the bottom if it’s a good combo although that doesn’t matter so much if you have a big enough company because basically anything you put out will be a hit just can’t continue to make bad games. The sequel functionality is pretty awesome as well.Show lessMeatHeadTurnt
Important Info
This game is pretty good, I got the “grand prize” pretty quickly which is when it asked me to give a review. The game is fun and is 100% worth checking out to see if your interested in it. One big flaw though is that it doesn’t tell you how to get the jobs like producer, director, hardware engineer, and hacker. Which if you don’t know how to get them the game is pretty limited because I was never ever able to find a hardware engineer for higher. The game also doesn’t tell you that if you higher someone who had prior work experience as a hardware engineer then they still can’t make a console because it’s not there current job, and they don’t normally have the requirements to become a hardware engineer. So if your going to play this game which is 100% recommend for you to do, just make sure you search up a few things like how to create the “hidden” careers. Because I would have never known that you need to level the employees up because I felt it gave small boosts to do so.Show lessAngelsfan5
Best Sim Game On iPhone. Period.
Simply put, this game is an incredible addition to Apple Arcade, and helping bolster what was seemingly a very soft lineup/catalog of games.
Everything about this game is great: the pacing, the mechanics, the nods to popular video games, hardware, developers, and manufacturers; the level of content and combinations to discover is seeming endless, the amount of achievements gives the player something to work toward, and you can save your game pretty much at any given point to be able to pause and pick it up later, which you most definitely will.
Give this game a shot. If you love sim games, it may end up being your new favorite mobile game.Show lessSupaFlyTy101
Issue with auto save and too complex…
To be honest, it’s been months since I’ve started this game, but it’s been so hard to make a good game. My reviews are never above 6 (per judge). Anyways, no genre match works. Ever. Maybe I haven’t leveled up my employees enough, or some other things, but I’ve never made a game with over 20 points overall. Also, there is a bug with auto save that says “Y10 M1 W4” (year 10 month 1 week 4) but takes me back to year 9, where I just finished game 15. It was a golf marathon. Not my best choice, but it was cheap. And I was on a low budget. I really wish you guys could fix that bug. thanks!Show lessPikachu_kid22
Fun Game
this game is cute & fun. keeps you busy & time passes pretty fast so you’re always doing something. the only complaints i have is 1. the directions are a little confusing sometimes because of how it’s worded, & i think the game is a little broken/glitchy. and then 2. it’s a little repetitive. after playing the game for a while, i found myself just doing the same thing over & over again so i’m unfortunately getting kind of bored of this game. i’ve only been playing for like 3 days & im already losing interest, which is unfortunate because it truly does have potential & is very very cute.Show lesskaylinbbbblolbbb
Who knew Game Development could be so fun!
I've been playing this for about a year now. I have to say, I really enjoy how your own little digital gaming company can start from honest beginnings being contracted for other things, untill it's finally able to create it's first game. Then from licensing games from console to console untill your finally able to create your company's own home console. It really gives a different perspective for the gaming industry (even though this game originally came out in the late 90's). I'd definitely recommend.Show lessLittle Miss Halo
Really recommend
Okay i’m not gonna lie I usually don’t leave any reviews on games this is actually my first but this game is actually really cool and addicting i’m not sure if they added Ps3 consoles and up but i think they should really do so adding new consoles and they should make it where other business can make there own consoles that are not made in real life for more competition and maybe add in more features to the game but back to my review this game is highly
addictive it is really fun and has a lot to do for a simple game i really enjoy playing this to pass the time and just to play for the fun of it i highly recommend to everyone to download even if it doesn’t look appealing at first i promise it is worth it!Show lessspanish boyyyh
Simple but fun
A sim game done well. Fairly simple/ easy to understand mechanics, and well paced. My only criticism is that all of the “secret” employees are male or non-human. It also seems like everyone is white or looks white? I found myself with a team of mostly white men, which as a real life tech worker felt a little too realistic in a bad way. The other thing is that the genres and types are a bit arbitrary and strange…combos that would work in real life don’t do well, and games that wouldn’t do well in real life are “amazing”. But that’s a minor complaint, especially because it adds some (more) oddball humor.Show lessshockingnew
