### 3/5 — Argent qui disparaît

*2025-10-15, version 3.0.0100*

Bonjour voilà le jeu est bien mais j ai 8 millions qui on disparu comme sa sans raison sans acheter d entreprise ou de biens immobiliers ou d actions est-ce que c’est normal ou pas du tout merci de votre compréhension

### 4/5 — Solid Game

*2025-09-25*

After this update I can say it’s getting better. Of course there should be more content than what is on here right now. More stock like crypto, and buying luxury items. Also a section for the shop to see what other packages you have for sale (to buy with $$) I would recommend adding a permanent option for no ads at all.

**Developer response:** Thank you, KillerTheAnon, for your message.

I have some exciting news to share with you: our pipeline of updates is brimming with new content!

Stay tuned for more updates! :)

### 2/5 — Jeu cool mais frustrant

*2025-08-12, version 2.6.1*

En effet le jeu est frustrant puisque mis à part les entreprises qui fonctionnent bien, quand on met de l’argent dans la bourse elle chute et ne remonte jamais et de même quand on achète des maisons sur le marché financier.. a quoi sert donc c’est deux éléments si c’est pour ne pas être « réaliste »

### 4/5 — Kann nichts mehr machen

*2025-07-31, version 2.6.1*

Alle Karten sind geupgraded (Game Center akzeptiert das iwie nicht und sagt 92% nur), alle Immobilien gekauft, alle Geschäfte gekauft und alle merger.
Die Merged Businesses sind einfach langweilig und langsam und bringen wenig.
Financial Market ist zu klein für das viele Geld.
Bleibt nur noch Bank einmal am Tag und dann wieder Spiel weglegen. Bitte noch mehr Sachen zum ausgeben, mag das Spiel!

### 4/5 — Cool game, but sometimes confusing

*2025-07-10, version 2.5.11*

Very fun game but investments are confusing, i have unlocked “advanced technologies” and the more costly “factories” but investing in factories(which is more expensive) is 10x less productive..
AT investement for example is +1600 revenue for 65k. Factories which are harder to unlock are €529 revenue for 88k. Seems completely unlogical. Shouldn’t the more expensive options be more profitable?

### 4/5 — This game is great

*2025-06-14*

This game is a lot of fun got recommended to play by a friend it’s fun to see the business grow one thing that needs to be improved is the stocks if the stocks get fixed 5 ⭐️⭐️ stars. all around a great game recommend downloading.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback — we're really happy to hear you're enjoying the game and that a friend recommended it to you!

We agree that the stock trading system could be more satisfying, and we're currently exploring ways to improve it. Your input is valuable and helps us better understand what players are looking for.

Thanks again for playing!

### 4/5 — Investing is broken

*2025-06-08*

Was having fun with this game but I started getting into the market and as soon as you buy a stock the market bottoms out. Bought 5000 shares for 600 and now the price is stuck under 50 for the past month. As a result I’ve bought over 200,000 shares for practically nothing but the price never changes to get above 50/share. Once you sell all your stocks the price goes back as high as 1000/share but there’s no point since the game screw’s you for owning stock.

### 4/5 — Jeu bien mais

*2025-05-27, version 2.5.1*

Le jeu est bien et facile à prendre en main, mais on ne peut pas vendre une entreprise qu’on a acheté, j’ai fait l’erreur d’acheter une entreprise mais impossible de la vendre. Du coup je suis bloqué

### 3/5 — Been trying to get into it

*2025-05-20*

I feel like real-estate and stock market are just unusable. As soon as you invest money the prices drop for days. It’s to the point I would even use them as a way to build money. Businesses are the only thing that actually works.

### 3/5 — Ad issue

*2025-05-13*

The game has a lot of potential and it is fun. However, the ad rewards need to work upon completion of the ad. I would say over 50% of the time the ad completion reward does not actually take effect.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! We're really glad to hear you're enjoying the game and see its potential.

We completely understand how frustrating it can be when ad rewards don’t work as expected. A fix has been implemented and will be included in the next update to ensure ad rewards are granted properly after completion. We appreciate your patience and support as we continue to improve the experience.

If the issue persists after the update, feel free to reach out again—we're always here to help!

### 4/5 — Fix the ads

*2025-05-11*

More than half the ads after I watched them I get nothing

**Developer response:** Sorry about that! We know how frustrating it is to watch an ad and not get the reward. We've identified the issue and a fix is already in place for the next update. Thanks for your patience and for playing the game!

### 3/5 — Game is fun but no rewards for ads

*2025-05-08*

The game is pretty fun and has potential, but more than half the times I watch an ad for a reward I don’t get the reward. I saw another review saying this last month and the devs said they would fix next update, there has been about 3 updates but it still hasn’t been fixed.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your honest feedback, and we're really sorry for the ongoing frustration with the ad rewards.

You're absolutely right to expect this to be fixed by now. We did release updates addressing this issue, but it seems the problem wasn't fully resolved for all players or devices. We've since identified a more consistent fix, which is included in the upcoming update.

We truly appreciate your patience and hope you'll give it another try once the fix is live. Thanks again for playing and for helping us improve!

### 3/5 — Fun App With Issues

*2025-04-25, version 2.1.1*

It’s a fun app but has several issues which make it hard to keep going. 

1) Clicked ads don’t give rewards about half of the time. Being looked into. 
2) Need a way to see Market high or longer trends for the stock market. 
3) My biggest Issue - I just brought the second business that £1200 hourly upkeep however I can’t sell it and now can’t make any money at all. So can’t play. This needs to be fixed. Similar to how you can seek real estate

### 3/5 — Close to being Good

*2025-04-20*

This game is close to being very good but some basic things need work. For instance sometimes the ads don’t count and you have to watch the add again for the reward. Stock market only has one stock so it’s very simple. A few improvements could go a long way.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback!

 We are happy that you like the game overall. We have noted the problem of advertisements that sometimes do not count, and a fix will be included in the next update. 
Regarding the stock market, we are also working on improvements to diversify the shares and make the experience more interesting. 

Thank you for your suggestions, they help us improve the game!

### 4/5 — Très cool !

*2025-04-17, version 2.1.0*

Bon jeu, seul bémol, les pubs pour obtenir des bonus ne fonctionnent  qu’une fois sur 2, on ne reçoit pas toujours le bonus…

### 4/5 — J’adore le jeu mais

*2025-04-15, version 2.0.5*

Super jeu, j’aime bien l’idée et je suis à fond dedans ! 
Les petits points à améliorer : 
- Parfois je regarde des pubs et ça ne déverrouille pas ce pour quoi je regarde une pub, surtout pour débloquer les bâtiments, qu’il faut attendre 40min, je regarde une pub et après la pub finie, il reste 38min40 
- Poussé encore plus le côté « chef d’entreprise » etc, avoir un petit clic automatique au bout d’un moment ? Pas besoin de recevoir des milliards mais un peu, pendant un certains temps? Car toutes les heures, c’est long 

- un espace communautaire ?

### 3/5 — Not bad but not good either

*2025-04-07*

It’s a fun game but I do have some issues. When you tap, the hit-box to register to tap is as big as molecule, you can’t use more then one finger to tap and two barely work half the time. When I watch adds to skip the time for things it registers that I watched the add about 30% of the time. I like this game but just wish these issues would be resolved.

**Developer response:** Thanks a lot for the feedback — it really helps us improve. The tap detection and ad rewards definitely shouldn’t be that unreliable, and we’re working on fixes to make both way smoother. Glad you’re still enjoying the game despite that!

### 4/5 — Nickel mais…

*2025-04-06, version 2.0.5*

Concept super, j’adore le jeu mais il y a quelques petits default, j’ai un iPhone 8 et l’interface du jeu n’est pas adaptée par exemple le marché financier est coupé en deux par l’écran, rien de grave biensur. 
Et aussi la bourse baisse et ne remonte pas quand on met beaucoup d’argent dessus, apres c’est normal ça serait trop facile de faire de l’argent mais c’est quand même frustrant. Merci pour le jeu j’y joue tout les jours et j’attends avec impatience des nouvelles fonctionnalités.

### 1/5 — Newest update to bank

*2026-03-13*

So... the bank tab got a update... The slider doesn't work correctly, the first time I could move it to 1 specific spot 1/4 option only but after that it froze and wont move at all and is bugged ... now I cant use the bank at all... 

the other stuff that was changed was cool ig i didnt mind the other updates they all worked fine but the bank affected me hella since I afk a lot (i hadly play games i got 2 only)

**Developer response:** Hey, thank you for taking the time to write this, and I’m really sorry you ran into this issue.

We put a lot of care and energy into every update, so it honestly hurts to hear that something like the bank slider ended up breaking your experience, especially since it’s a feature you rely on with AFK play. That’s on us.

The good news is that the slider bug has been fixed in the latest update. You should now be able to use the bank normally again. We’re also taking this seriously internally and doubling down on catching these kinds of issues earlier so they don’t slip through again.

I really appreciate you mentioning that the rest of the update felt good. It means a lot, and we hope this fix helps rebuild your trust in us. If you run into anything else, please don’t hesitate to let us know.

### 1/5 — You can’t play

*2026-03-03*

You can’t play it every time you press anything an add pops up 5mins in 6 ads never seen anything like it it’s ridicules

**Developer response:** Hey Samt7,

Thank you for your feedback.
However, I wonder if you're not confusing this with another game?
We do not have any "interstitial" ads: ads are only shown at the user's request and are in no way compulsory.
We attach great importance to the user experience. 

Could you give us another chance?

### 1/5 — Remise à zéro injustifié

*2025-06-14, version 2.5.5*

Après plusieurs jours de jeu, mon compte s’est remis à zéro car apparemment j’aurais changé l’heure de mon téléphone,jeu complètement pourri qui gâche l’expérience ne vous aventurer pas, c’est juste une perte de temps

### 1/5 — skipping upgrade

*2025-05-03*

skipping upgrade just a money grab doesn’t even work and progress is centred around spending or ads

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback — we’re sorry to hear you feel that way.

We’re constantly trying to balance free progression with optional monetization. Skipping upgrades is meant to be just that: optional. You can absolutely progress without spending or watching ads, though it may take more time. That said, we’ve taken note of your concerns and will keep working to make the experience feel more rewarding and fair for all players.

We appreciate you giving the game a try and hope future updates improve your experience.

### 1/5 — Has random spam ads

*2025-04-19*

I don’t mind ads for rewards. But spamming ads when I didn’t request one and for no reward is unacceptable.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback!
We understand your frustration. 
A fix has been made to the problem of the rewards of the requested ads, and it will be included in the next update. 

Thank you for your patience and support!

### 1/5 — Ads

*2025-04-13, version 2.0.5*

Nothing more annoying that watching a 60 second add to get the upgraded clicker for 30 seconds and then not actually getting the upgrade so then you have to suffer through another ad… happens 60% of the time.

### 1/5 — Ads ads ads

*2025-04-03*

Can’t go literally 10 seconds without an ad popping up. No tutorial. Bleh

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback — we hear you. The frequency of ads is something we’re reviewing, and adding a proper tutorial is definitely on our roadmap. Appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts.

### 1/5 — Parts don’t work

*2025-02-25, version 1.7.3*

Clicker doesnt work

### 1/5 — Aucun intérêt

*2025-01-18, version 1.5.2*

Un jeu qui fonctionne pas ! 
On clique trop vite ça comptabilise pas donc pas d’argent gagner ensuite faut regarder des pubs pour améliorer les entreprises et même quand on la regarde ça marche pas 

Si vous voulez perdre votre temps c’est fait pour vous

### 1/5 — Un jeu ?

*2024-12-22, version 1.5.1*

Je cherche toujours l’utilité du jeu. Cliquer et regarder des pubs rien de plus interessant dans ce « jeu »

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Super jeu

*2025-10-12, version 3.0.0100*

Je joue au jeu et je l’es même fini à 90%

Super jeu facile a prendre en main mais il serais encore mieux avec des achat encore plus chère pour donner une suite au jeu de nouvelle entreprise par exemple un nouveau niveau de propriété encore plus chère.

Il y’a aussi un petit bug personnel avec mon entreprise fusionner elle ne produit plus alors que le temps es a 0 je ne comprend pas.

Mais sinon super jeu peut de bug des mis à jour de temps en temps un plaisir a jouer

Aussi crée un compte X ou un serveur discord communautaire pour discuter entre communauté et un salon pour tous nos bug pour que vous aurra un retour plus rapide de la communauté.

### 5/5 — Bug

*2025-06-12, version 2.5.4*

Ma tech factory a 17000/8000xp et est toujours niveau 1, c’est bien de changer l’icône du jeu toute les semaines mais faut corriger les vrai bugs merci.

Courage pour la suite.

### 5/5 — Follow up review

*2025-05-16*

I left a review only a few days ago. The developer responded to the review quickly, and got the problem fixed and an update pushed through in just a few days. I appreciated this as Build Empire has been my recent favorite game.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! We're really glad to hear you're enjoying the game and see its potential.

We completely understand how frustrating it can be when ad rewards don’t work as expected. A fix has been implemented and will be included in the next update to ensure ad rewards are granted properly after completion.

### 5/5 — Super jeu

*2025-05-11, version 2.3.2*

Jeu super sympa et addictif, seul petit bémol la limitation a seulement deux bien immobilier, ce serait sympa de pouvoir en posséder plus afin de donner un côté magnat de l’immobilier car on peu posséder toutes les entreprises c’est le seul point noir du jeu à mon goût car l’aspect immobilier est très intéressant

### 5/5 — Jeu bien mais …

*2025-04-17, version 2.1.0*

Le jeu est vraiment bien et pas compliqué, les pubs sont optionnels ajoute simplement des bonus non nécessaire au bon déroulement du jeu. Cependant, j’ai acheter une entreprise qui nécessite des frais d’entretien que je ne pas payer et me voilà endetté de plusieurs millions. Il n’y as malheureusement aucun moyen ( a ma connaissance) de vendre ou de fermé sont entreprise et je me retrouve donc bloqué et je ne peux plus jouer. J’espère que ce problème sera réglé dans une prochaine mise à jour.

### 5/5 — My new obsession

*2025-04-10*

I’ve had this game for maybe 2-3 weeks. It’s simple and yet complex. While I didn’t love the setbacks of the 2.0 update(at credit 6, going from 400,000 needed to a million), it added more challenge to gameplay I was already in love with. I do wish a tutorial was available, most dealing with real estates and the market as I’ve lost over 100K with 300K invested. Call it poor timing, but I’m unsure how to improve profitability. Still a game im in love with and love to see improved further. 10/10

**Developer response:** Wow, thanks for the 10/10! We know the 2.0 update hit hard (that million credit jump 👀), but it's awesome to hear you're still into the challenge. You're right about needing better help with real estate and the market — we’re working on ways to make those parts more understandable and less punishing. Thanks for sticking with us!

### 5/5 — Zu Nice⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

*2025-03-09, version 1.7.8*

Mega cooles Tycoon Game!!! Irgendwie nicht so bekannt aber wirklich sehr cool mit den einzelnen Stufen!👍⭐️

### 5/5 — Validé

*2025-03-01, version 1.7.6*

Je trouve que le jeu est nickel mais il y a quelques points à améliorer je pense !

- débloquer la carte légendaire c’est un peu trop facile donc ça serait bien qu’il y en ait d’autres 
- j’ai débloqué toutes les cartes mais l’achievement Game Center ne c’est pas terminé 
- ça c’est à vous de voir mais peut être créer un compte X pour pouvoir échanger facilement avec la commu/agrandir la commu

Et aussi petite question :
La bourse est bien faite mais je voudrait savoir si elle fonctionne avec le même système que la réelle bourse ou si c’est une simulation ?

Merci d’avoir lu tout ça !

### 5/5 — Stocks

*2025-02-22, version 1.7.2*

Actions are called stocks

### 5/5 — Best Game !!

*2024-09-30, version 1.0.1*

Super jeu ! On y prend vite goût :) on a envie d’y revenir chaque jour ! Merci
