Lost money, no response

I quickly spent $100 of my money thinking I can play multiple rounds of the game, considering there was a "tentative" ending to the game, and then the game prompting you to restart the game and play different scenarios.. Welp, once you restart, ALL of your PAID money disappears as well. I lost $95 worth of coins in less than an hour, and there has been zero response from the developer to either refund, or reinstate it back into my account.

This is on the verge of being fraudlent, and luring people to pay for things, only to be deleted when the game loops back to the start.

Money Sponge Tycoon

Every 3 clicks you will need to make a choice that will demand you cash-in by purchasing virtual cash.
Absolutely 0 gameplay and 100 money siphon app.

We're sorry to hear the game feels more like a money siphon than fun. It's definitely not our intention to interrupt gameplay with constant purchases. We're aiming for a balance where everyone can enjoy the game, with or without spending. We'll take your feedback into account as we continue to adjust and improve. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

Sorry to hear you're frustrated with the ads and payment options. We're aiming for a fun experience that can be enjoyed without mandatory payments. Removing ads is an option for smoother gameplay. Your feedback is important for our improvements. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Don’t download this app

This app could be fun by you can only go so far before having to buy cash with your own money. It doesn’t matter which route you go, you’ll get stuck and have to put your own money in to get past the first part. I don’t want to buy in because it doesn’t give you an amount you need.

All they want is you to pay to play. Not of any value at all.

Nope.

No matter what scenario you choose, even the cheapest ones, you will be forced to pay real money after several ads. Lame.

TERRIBLE GAME

I highly recommend you don’t waste your time,
Ads every 2 seconds and a terrible boring game, no simulation just click to go through a “story” really not a good game, ignore the other fake 5 star reviews.

Steals your money.

The game forces you to spend money on each story line, then you end up losing shortly after (no matter what you choose), losing the money you spent.

We'll take your feedback seriously to improve story outcomes and ensure a more satisfying experience. Your input is invaluable as we strive to make the game enjoyable for all.

Scam!

This game is literally a scam to make you spend real money. You cannot progress without spending real money so it renders the game utterly pointless!

We're genuinely sorry to hear you feel this way. Our goal is not to create a pay-to-win scenario, but to offer a fun experience for all players, with optional purchases. We're constantly looking for ways to balance the game better and will take your feedback into account for future updates. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us.

Not a Tycoon Game!

Quick and simple everyone, this is not a tycoon game, not an economy manager or simulator. This is a soap-opera “did you spend your money wisely” simulator. Don’t pick the exact choose your own adventure path? Start over, or pay to get past your wrong choices. Please, my simulator nerd friends, don’t fall for it!

Thanks for sharing your perspective. We're sorry to hear the game didn't match your expectations of a tycoon or economy simulator. Our intention is to provide a diverse gameplay experience, including strategic decision-making. We appreciate your feedback on the game's mechanics and will consider it as we aim to improve the game for all players. Your insights are invaluable to us.

Waste of time. Less than 1 star.

Absolutely horrible. Choose story lines, each of which cost you money, and you will not make it to any sort of game play without buying in app currency. Pay to play, of the absolute worst kind. In previous responses they say “we try to balance game play versus optional purchases”, it’s an absolute lie. You cannot advance without buying money or gems, but the best part is they don’t even tell you how much you need to purchase. If you run out of money at a story line choice you either buy more or start over and watch a pile of ads every couple of dialogue segments.

Do not waste your time downloading this game. The pretty graphics are a total trap.

We're really sorry to hear you're frustrated. Our intention is to create an enjoyable experience, not to make anyone feel forced to purchase. The balance between free gameplay and in-app purchases is something we continuously work on. We appreciate your feedback on transparency regarding currency needs and will look into making this clearer. Your points on story progression and ad frequency are noted for improvement. Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts.
