In my experience there’s always a trick to them to make a lot of money quickly. This was the hardest one to crack but once I got it it became easy. Can make as much as u want without gems but if u wanna really expand weekly earnings in the end game you need gems to buy international businesses. Unfortunately once you get to that point and use all ur gems there’s nothing left to do but mindlessly tap end week to rise up the leader boards. Could just do with more scalable upgrades that don’t need gems for the late game to be enjoyable ### 2/5 — Kind of confusing *2025-06-22, version 1.0.10* I’m 10 years old and this game is pretty confusing. It’s definitely not a 4+ game. It doesn’t really give you much clues and ideas to what you are trying to do. ### 2/5 — Lacking updates *2024-12-30, version 1.0.10* good game idea lacking updates not achieving any of the rewards that I get from completing the challenges spending gems but not getting any return for what I’m achieving in game. Last updates four years ago. ### 3/5 — Good but ghosted! *2024-12-19, version 1.0.10* Has this game been ghosted? No info online except for a 4 year old Reddit post. Game could be good but needs a lot of work. A discord would be great! ### 3/5 — Help me *2024-11-23, version 1.0.10* I hear its good but I just cant figure it out, way too complicated and hard please fix. If ur gonna make a realistic candy game make it so that you get a tutorial on a easy version and then once you got 10k it throws you into the actual game a harder version of the first game kinda with no tutorial. This game has MASSIVE potential and there is no sound just plain, and devs please make it easier overall. I am young like elementary school young and that might be the reason its hard but please make it easier overall. ### 3/5 — hard, but has potential *2024-03-20, version 1.0.10* this game is insanely hard. it feels impossible to actually make money. i’ve restarted so many times, i can’t count. it definitely has potential but it’s frustrating how hard it is to make any money at all. ### 4/5 — The Impossible Yet Fun game *2023-10-08, version 1.0.10* The game is really fun but I haven’t had one week where I made positive profit. I have only had negative profit. Yet again though it is fun to try out different ways to maybe succeed in an impossible game. ### 4/5 — I’m dumb *2023-07-31, version 1.0.10* Really don’t understand how to get started. I follow the whole tutorial and do what it says. But I make 0 money at all. Just lose like $750 every week ### 3/5 — Hard *2023-07-31, version 1.0.10* Yo developer I clicked on the help page and I saw an entire 7 page essay. This way too much. The app says 4 years old and higher i’m 5 and this stuff crazy. I deleted app lol. ### 5/5 — Just what I was looking for *2023-04-25, version 1.0.10* Long story short, this game is like managing a lemonade stand on steroids. The sections of creating and managing a product are clear and user friendly. The strategy of this game requires the user to be certain of their next business move or else they will be forced to start over. Very exciting and is exactly what I was looking for to practice business skills on a not-so-boring platform. :) ### 5/5 — Game *2023-04-07, version 1.0.10* It ok I guess ### 3/5 — :( *2023-02-04, version 1.0.10* Told me i’d get a free 50k if I answered a question, said the app was good, never got the 50k :,) ### 5/5 — Fun Game *2023-01-13, version 1.0.10* I really enjoy playing this when I am bored. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Ok *2025-04-20, version 1.0.10* Its ok ### 1/5 — Broken accessibility *2024-06-24, version 1.0.10* This game has tremendous potential and seems like it could be an amazing simulation game. However, for those who are blind or visually impaired using the iPhone voiceover feature to access the game, there are buttons that are not accessible to press. Specifically, when you were trying to upgrade your location the button often does not do anything. In addition, in order to boost morale, various buttons such as ski trip and cash bonus do nothing. you end up in a death spiral where you can't get your morale back up and the game collapses. ### 1/5 — Bad Sim *2024-03-14, version 1.0.10* The information provided as help in game is fine and makes sense, but it doesnt teach you how to play this game - which is fine because this isn’t a game. It’s a funnel for your money disguised as a mediocre economic simulation. There’s a reason the meta compels you to need GEMS. Just make a full game and sell it for $5.00, it’ll be okay. You’ve ruined the mechanics by over leveraging the IAP’s, as usual. ### 1/5 — Extremely unhelpful tutorial. *2023-12-16, version 1.0.10* I’m sure this game is fun once you learn how to play it properly, but the issue is that the tutorial doesn’t teach you how to do anything other than how to switch from one tab to another. ### 1/5 — Confusing *2023-09-27, version 1.0.10* Spent half an hour on the game, it’s quite confusing and there’s not really a tutorial 🤷‍♂️ ### 1/5 — Tried for 45 mins with literally no success at all *2023-05-30, version 1.0.10* Tried to get this game down for 45 mins the game even resorted to giving me 50k which went extremely quickly, can’t seem to make any money at all and within 6 weeks will be leaking cash. Massive shame really wanted to enjoy this game!!! ### 1/5 — Extremely linear game with no options to deviate to win. *2023-03-22, version 1.0.10* This game is impossibly difficult to win if you just try to play it casually or the right way. You just won’t get anything done if you try. It’s pretty easy to ruin the gameplay for yourself as well because of how ridiculously easy it is to cheese this game for big bucks, half the features as well are extremely weak or completely useless to you for way too high an upkeep. ### 1/5 — Awful Graphics *2022-07-27, version 1.0.10* This game was literally unplayable for me. The text was so small it's impossible to read and the help section is small dark grey text on a black background. There are entire menus of options and settings that are literally the smallest point white text possible on a light peach background. ### 1/5 — D *2022-07-12, version 1.0.10* Dead ### 1/5 — Waste *2022-06-03* Will become loss ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Mm *2025-05-25* Thinks interesting ### 5/5 — it’s great *2025-04-19, version 1.0.10* the best game I’ve ever used! ### 5/5 — Idk *2025-04-14, version 1.0.10* It’s alrighty ### 5/5 — ama *2024-05-22, version 1.0.10* shah ### 5/5 — Dr *2023-12-07* Uu ### 5/5 — Candy CEO *2023-10-01, version 1.0.10* Love the game ### 5/5 — Gggvddvv *2023-09-02, version 1.0.10* Cvbbb ### 5/5 — Good *2023-08-19, version 1.0.10* But pays u to write ### 5/5 — Good *2023-07-01, version 1.0.10* Yes it is good I need me 50000 ### 5/5 — Very entrepreneurial *2023-04-29* Fun and creative --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
