  • Great game

    Good for rode trips I’ve played this game for like 4 hours it’s amazing I just wish that you could rename your engines or games it’s really annoying when ur name doesn’t have a name or ur engine doesn’t have a name I’ve just given up and made a whole new project just for the name so please let us rename our projects but other than that great game.

  • Needs improvement

    I like the sound, the art style and the concept of this game, but it is so hard to level up cuz I keep getting bankrupt. Like the monthly costs:sales ratio are way too much. Plus I don’t understand the contract jobs cuz there’s no option for me to improve my speed to avoid penalties. I only started this game last night but I’m already giving up on this

  • Very charming.

    It feels like running a actual business. With company treating you so badly you go to sleep crying, Weird encrypted messages, Bankruptcy, All that good little charm.

    Please add some sort of search feature that'll tell you what works with what genre and console or something like that.

  • Good Idea. Bad UI

    I love management games, so I was excited to try one for iPad. I’ve already run out of scenarios in Outlanders, which was my go-to management game for iPad, but I have thousands of hours combined in CIV 5, Cities Skylines and the Planet Zoo series.

    The idea of this game is great. I’ve gotten to the point of having a few employees, but the UI and hints and patterns for this game make it frustrating to play as a casual game.

    A couple things that don’t make sense to me, as someone who is not in the video game design world, but a frequent flier for management games:

    We need explications on what each type of game is. “Hospital” is so vague. “Music” is so vague. “Prison” — what? I should be able to put research points into each type of game after I unlock it to see which style suits it best, instead of having to create an entire game in each style. So far my most popular game is a handheld fashion RPG. It sold millions. Uhhh, EXCUSE ME? Does type of game even matter? I honestly cannot even tell because the UI is way too vague.

    I like the idea of researching to unlock each type, and I really like that each new game has random types of games to start out.

    The internal reviews you do after a game is released should be available forever. The game says there are ++ and - - tips that show up after you unlock info, but it seems buggy as heck and the sliders don’t make much sense anyhow. What does it mean by artificial intelligence? Where are my instant access tool tips for casual gaming!

    Also, why am I having to pay to research the processes and pay in time and money to create an entire game engine… only to have to pay to use the engine during development. Wack!

    I don’t know why games go off market at all unless a system goes off market. Maybe you can unlock this further into the game, after sequels, but I don’t know.

    I wish I had the option to hire a freelancer to do research instead of paying for a whole office.

    I’d love to have a line graph for spending, broken down by where/how/when I’m spending my money.

    Overall I am going to keep coming back to this game. I think the developers have something really cool. The UI is lacking but I enjoy it.

  • Difficult

    Kinda frustrating when you don’t fully understand why your game keeps doing bad when you think you’re doing everything right.. goes bankrupt too quickly and easily
