Also add a pay off loan button, try smooth out the lag cos I’m playing in iPhone 15pro and it’s lagging… and also add button that scrolls to the nearest business yoy haven’t max upgraded yet because the business list is very big ### 2/5 — Glitchy *2026-08-23* Game is very glitchy but could be a good game ### 3/5 — fix performance and progression *2026-08-17* progression needs to be less obstructed with ads. also performs badly even on new iphones. **Developer response:** Thanks for the honest feedback. I understand ads should not obstruct progression, and poor performance on newer iPhones is not acceptable. Please contact b2b-support@infinitygames.io with your device details so we can investigate. Miguel ### 3/5 — A great game but… *2026-08-16* This is a great game, it’s unique. The only reason I can give it even a 4 star is because for a game rated ages 4+ the lack of tutorial is a big one. Also the game is very laggy when trying to use the mining refinery. Which kind of makes the beginning of the game feel extremely slow. Over all it’s a good game I just hope the problems can give fixed so I can be more invested **Developer response:** Thank you for the thoughtful feedback. I understand how a clearer tutorial and smoother refinery performance would make the early game much more enjoyable. I’m sorry for the lag. Please contact b2b-support@infinitygames.io with your device details so I can investigate. Miguel ### 3/5 — Lagging *2026-08-16* The concept of the game is really good, I enjoy it. But it really needs a good update to remove the lag because it makes it nearly unplayable **Developer response:** Thanks for enjoying the concept. I’m sorry the lag is making it hard to play. Please contact b2b-support@infinitygames.io with your device details so we can investigate it properly. Miguel ### 2/5 — Potential *2026-08-16* Im on a IPHONE 17 PRO MAX. After 6 hours of gameplay it was addicting until the discrepancies appeared. The entire game is extremely laggy, i can’t even buy multiple stocks without the game force closing. The bad news pops up very often with scenarios that make absolutely zero sense. For example, i was forced to buy “baby supplies” for 4 million dollars and that is outrageous. I can’t even buy business upgrades without the game crashing or severely lagging. But overall the game has potential. **Developer response:** Thanks for the detailed feedback. I’m sorry the lag and crashes are affecting your experience on iPhone 17 Pro Max, and I understand those event costs can feel unreasonable. Please contact b2b-support@infinitygames.io so I can investigate. Miguel ### 2/5 — So many ads for literally nothing *2026-08-09* The game sucked, no clear direction and just didn’t make sense and was no fun at all **Developer response:** I’m sorry the experience felt confusing and unrewarding. I’ll keep working to make the goals clearer and the gameplay more enjoyable, while reviewing the ad balance. Thanks for the honest feedback, Miguel ### 2/5 — Poor optimization *2026-08-07* Very poor app optimization. Phone overheats and animations not smooth at all ### 3/5 — A few issues but potential *2026-07-30* First off is the lagging and bugs in game from the mining to the crisis. Crisis ur asked for 3 options “says pick an option” still spending 17,000 on meds eather saying yes to pay fully spend some or saying no. Cleaning up the debt is one thing but not knowing how much cash u have to make upgrades to business or at least when doing manual labor to see how much cash u have from that. The force ads is just annoying cant spend 5 mins knowing the game with out an ad and having to pay 10 the to take the ads off. How is it this was released without anyone testing it to see if things made sense. Things that are rushed to market without testing aren’t going well when ppl start try it out get fed up with it and uninstall. On a positive note game has potential to be good but until these week one fixes are stable and not be forced or confusing. If game works in a few days or weeks i’ll see to it again till then uninstall. **Developer response:** Thanks for the honest feedback. I’m sorry the lag, crisis choices, cash visibility and forced ads made the game confusing. The 17,000 meds situation should be clearer. Please send any details or screenshots to b2b-support@infinitygames.io so I can investigate. Miguel ### 2/5 — How do I get refund? *2026-07-29* Paid for the boss back which was supposed to eliminate forced ads but they are still occurring mid game for no reward **Developer response:** Hi ShanePrusinski, I’m sorry the Boss Pack isn’t removing the mid-game ads as expected. Please contact b2b-support@infinitygames.io with your purchase receipt so we can investigate and help with the refund request. Miguel ### 1/5 — Game Performance is terrible *2026-07-28* The Performance on my iPhone 16 Pro os so Bad **Developer response:** Sorry the performance is so poor on your iPhone 16 Pro. Please contact b2b-support@infinitygames.io with your device details and game version so I can investigate this properly. Miguel ### 3/5 — Cool game bad functionality *2026-07-28* The game is pretty fun to play. The design is cool but the lag is sooo bad it becomes miserable to play. And there are so many ads. Every time I begin to progress I either get an add or one of the crisis pop ups. **Developer response:** Thanks for the honest feedback. I’m glad you enjoy the design and gameplay, but I understand how lag, frequent ads, and crisis pop-ups can interrupt progress. I’m reviewing the balance and performance so the experience feels smoother. Miguel ### 2/5 — Needs work *2026-07-27* The disaster incoming tab happens way too often and costs way too much it shouldn’t cost 4 million to pay for a school trip or help family out and it’s sets your progress back way too far. If you haven’t watched an ad in a few minutes one is just forced onto you which is incredibly annoying and will eventually effect game retention with people downloading it getting an ad forced on them and then deleting it, ads should be a voluntary watch like if they want to top their money up slightly proportional to their daily earnings. Instead the creator should play around with tax where you pay it yourself and it’s not forced onto you instead it should be you should pay your tax or your income stops or watch an ad to avoid paying it. There’s lots of ways to improve this game this review is just a couple big hints if this stuff doesn’t change soon I will be uninstalling it. **Developer response:** Thanks for the detailed feedback. I understand how disaster costs and forced ads can make progress feel unfair. I’m reviewing the balance around events, income, and ad frequency carefully. Your tax idea is helpful too. Miguel ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2026-08-25* Ads every minute of gameplay and runs super slow. Heats up my 17 pro. Shame because the actual game could be enjoyable ### 1/5 — AI Slop *2026-08-23* Clearly vibe coded app where each little snarky description can be easily detected to be generated with ai. The first game loop with the oil refinery slows the game down a lot due to the many objects, i would atleast occlude them when the player scrolls down **Developer response:** Hi Matis, thanks for the candid feedback. I understand the refinery can feel sluggish with so many objects on screen. Your suggestion to occlude objects while scrolling is useful, and I’ll review the performance and presentation there. Miguel ### 1/5 — Add and glitches *2026-08-11* Tapping core glitches and you loose all your peak. Then there’s a advert or a crisis every 2 minutes **Developer response:** Sorry the tapping core glitch is making you lose progress. Please contact b2b-support@infinitygames.io with details of what happens so I can investigate it. I also hear you on the frequent ads and crises. Miguel ### 1/5 — In debt forever *2026-08-10* You never come out of debt have to get loans to make more money but then never out of debt because the buy back takes so long…. ### 1/5 — 1/5 *2026-08-08* Remove ads doesn’t work, no explanation on how to complete any of the missions/contracts. Unable to progress further in the game due to no explanation for “unlock streets”. Game could have potential but the ads is what kills it for me, especially with the in-game purchase of no ads not working… **Developer response:** I’m sorry the Remove Ads purchase isn’t working and that progression feels unclear. Unlocking streets requires completing the relevant contracts, but the guidance should be clearer. Please contact b2b-support@infinitygames.io so I can help with your purchase. Miguel 🙁 ### 1/5 — Laggy ad Game *2026-08-06* This Game is veryy laggy and you have to watch an ad every 2 minutes to play it properly **Developer response:** Hi timstergram, sorry the game feels laggy and that ads interrupt your play so often. I’m looking into performance and ad frequency to make the experience smoother. Please contact b2b-support@infinitygames.io with your device details so I can help. Miguel ### 1/5 — Poorly optimized *2026-08-05* Cool idea but the optimization is horrid ### 1/5 — AI slop cash grab *2026-08-05* It’s pretty evident the game was developed with AI. Laggy, unused mechanism, terrible UI and game logic. Forced ads for progression. Please don’t waste your time or money with this. ### 1/5 — Pay to win *2026-07-29* From the moment you start you have 2 options; watch ads continuously or pay money. NEXT **Developer response:** I’m sorry it felt that way. Ads are optional and meant to speed up progress, but I understand they can feel too frequent. I’m reviewing the balance so the core game remains enjoyable without spending. Miguel ### 1/5 — Ad Riddled *2026-07-29* Completely unplayable, everything requires an ad just to progress and being in a location where ads aren’t permitted makes this no fun at all. **Developer response:** I’m sorry the ad requirements made the game unplayable where you are. I understand how frustrating it is when ads aren’t available but progression depends on them. I appreciate you sharing this feedback. Miguel ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Excellent opportunity *2026-08-15* I came here to give you a bad review. I decided to delete the application because of forced ads. The interface is disorganized. I would challenge to say the only person that can find anything is you, the developer. You should watch new people with no context try to figure the app out. You have a winning app here.. but not in its current state. The ad was so fun. Just let me play the game that was in the ad. I’m giving you five stars because I want you to succeed. I’d love to help you make this a success. **Developer response:** Thank you for the thoughtful feedback and the five stars. I understand how forced ads and a confusing interface can ruin the first impression. I’m taking your notes on onboarding, navigation, and the ad experience seriously. Miguel ### 5/5 — Good game needs a fee things *2026-08-13* The concept of the game is great along with the execution. The game is just very laggy and not a lot of the features and things like strategy lanes are explained very well. Ive been trying to upgrade honest work all day and havent made a lick of progress. Maybe its further down the line? Maybe Im not doing the right things? I may never know. But overall live the game and cant wait to see what more it can bring in the future. **Developer response:** Thanks for the thoughtful feedback! I’m glad you enjoy the concept. I hear you on lag and clearer explanations for Strategy Lanes and Honest Work progression. Honest Work unlocks its progress through specific upgrades and milestones, but I’ll keep clarity in mind. Miguel ### 4/5 — Enjoyable game, ads horrible. *2026-08-21* Have rated 4 stars because it is very enjoyable, however It is very heavy on ads which definitely affects retention without a doubt. There is more than enough options for people to watch ads via the various menus. $9.99 isn’t a bad price to upgrade for such a well made game in all fairness but I just think people should be able to enjoy the game without forced ads every 60 seconds. **Developer response:** Thanks for enjoying the game and for the thoughtful feedback. I understand how forced ads can interrupt the experience, especially with optional ad rewards already available. I’ll keep this in mind as I work on balancing gameplay and ads better. Miguel ### 4/5 — Very fun, but sluggish UI. *2026-08-21* The game is fun and helps to pass time, but when clicking to profit, I have noticed a slight bit of lag. I’m playing on an iPhone 16 with plenty of available space on it. **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback, I’m glad you’re enjoying the game. Lag on an iPhone 16 definitely isn’t expected. Please contact b2b-support@infinitygames.io with your device details and game version so I can investigate. Miguel ### 4/5 — Fun game. No support. Purchased Manager non functional. *2026-08-12* I love the game and all of the idle aspects of it. I purchased the boss pack and it worked perfectly as advertised. However the Manager upon purchase is not running manual businesses or covering the ops cost as advertised. I thought it might work if I reset my progress but it has not at all. There is no option in the game to submit a ticket and the app support button in the store does not give any way to request assistance at all. If the manager purchase worked as intended it would be 4 stars only due to lag in the manual mining mini game. **Developer response:** Thanks for the detailed report. I’m sorry the Manager isn’t running manual businesses or covering ops costs as expected, and for the mining lag. Please contact me at b2b-support@infinitygames.io so I can investigate your purchase and game setup. Miguel ### 4/5 — Opportunity Cards *2026-08-11* Decent game but not everything is explained the opportunity cards are confusing I’m at the point of making 100 mil/day but still don’t see how to stabilize them. **Developer response:** Thanks for playing and for the feedback. Opportunity Cards can be confusing at first. Their stability depends on keeping the required conditions active and upgrading the related businesses. I’ll work on making this clearer in-game. Miguel ### 4/5 — Please FIX *2026-07-28* Love the layout of the game and the idea of it. BUT IT IS SUPER BUGGY AND WAY TO MANY ADS **Developer response:** Thanks for loving the layout and concept. I’m sorry the bugs and frequent ads are hurting the experience. Please send any bug details to b2b-support@infinitygames.io so I can investigate them. Miguel 🙁 ### 4/5 — Performance Update please! *2026-07-25* Please make a performance update. It gets pretty laggy and crashes when buying/updating fast. And also please add to buy the option to buy more than one stock at a time. And also please hide already bought assets to not show on top of lists. Thanks **Developer response:** Thanks for the detailed feedback. I understand the lag and crashes during rapid buying or upgrades are frustrating. I’ll keep your bulk stock purchase and purchased asset list suggestions in mind. For crash help, please contact b2b-support@infinitygames.io. Miguel ### 4/5 — Cool game. Bad tech *2026-07-25* Cool game. The game has too many glitches. For me no ads. Also have issues with the days…… how the hell do I know a day is done or not?! **Developer response:** Thanks for the honest feedback. I’m sorry about the glitches and the confusion around day completion. The day status should be clearer, and reports about missing ads help us investigate. Please contact b2b-support@infinitygames.io with details so I can look into it. Miguel ### 4/5 — Lag *2026-07-23* I love the game but it is very laggy **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback. I’m glad you’re enjoying the game, and I’m sorry about the lag. Please contact b2b-support@infinitygames.io with your device details so I can investigate this properly.
