### 4/5 — Potential Success (Edit-3)

*2025-10-12, version 2.4.2*

This has a great foundation in becoming a huge success. I have tried over 30 games and none have come close this level of tycoon. It's great a great base and desighns, but needs some structure build up. Those who really love the game have problems with certain things others just pay for. It's hard to reach levels the more you progress, an not in a good way. On of the major problems is the wait time. I understand research take some time, but development should not take soo long a it does. Production time seems reasonable and I see the reason behind it. I feel like the factories should not be unlocked through levels, but through money. I think that the headquarters should be more broader a well. Have a main headquarters in a certain country and then have other areas in other countries rather than regions or continents. This would allow for a whole lot more variety of sales ideas and sales income. When it comes to the vehicles, I love the different desighns, but there can always be more. I think more sport cars, hypercars, motorcycles, and different sized truck desighns should be added as well a other car parts that link with them. I think there should be a lot more engine customization- we can pick piston count from (3,4,6,8,10,12,18), piston alignment (Inline, V, W, H), and the fuel type (Diesel, Regular Unleaded, Premium).  I feel the game would be more engaging if we could have more company customization and wish there were larger rewards for leveling up. Other than these things the games foundation is strong. I see a 5 star coming soon. (I see that the last update was 5 years ago. This is not a sight of player care. If you wish to keep people engage in the game then you will need to b more attentive a to what people like an enjoy. Just a heads up that would help this grow.) 
(The more I play, the more ideas come to my head. I really would wish that some progress would be made a I could see this game becoming a huge success. I think more options should be available for those who don't wish to waste money, but if you do then go for it. I feel like there is too much grinding in the game and that the wait time add up to a lot of time that doe not need to be waste in waiting but in action.)

### 2/5 — I want to like this game.

*2025-06-12, version 2.4.2*

As the title suggests, I really want to like this game. The concept sounds and looks good. But I can’t seem to research any car bodies. I tapped all the dots, selected the things that I wanted but still couldn’t advance the game. There was nothing else to select on that “flashing dot”. SUV, yes, AWD drive train, yes, and selected the only engine option. Still no “Research Button”. 
Such as shame as it looks it could potentially be my new fave game. 😒

### 4/5 — Ottimo gioco

*2025-04-29, version 2.4.2*

Un bellissimo gioco, molto piacevole da giocare e pieno di dettagli, unica pecca è la difficile gestione economica e non si capisce bene quanto si guadagna da ogni vettura.

### 3/5 — Ok?

*2025-03-31, version 2.4.2*

When I enter this game it’s just black and it’s playing some music and for a regular basis I’ve been going back in to it but it’s just black, But the reviews seem to be good so I guess it’s a good game

### 3/5 — Decent… could use work

*2025-03-23, version 2.4.2*

I’m gonna start gentle. This is a fun game don’t get me wrong. The level system is easy to grasp and the blueprint system is easy to work with… I have some issues. The first is the market system. There is no refresh time nor are there demand percent numbers. “Very important, important, and less important” are a good start to this but those are only categories to it. Now I know I said the blueprint system is easy to use but, That’s before the market opens at lv 7. Once at 7 you can open the market and look at it, but to build a blueprint off the market trend you have to memorize the market then build off what you can remember. This is very difficult for people like me who have memory and focus problems. There is also no way to see the numbers on the car while you’re selecting the equipment so you have to keep bouncing back and forth to see what your numbers are before you finalize the car. Not so much a problem but makes it considerably more tedious. Now for the wait times… I understand that it takes time to build a car and the more intricate the car the more time and material is required but… if your going to place wait times into a game there should be more to do in the game to keep people engaged in the game. This will encourage more people to spend their money on the game because they are having more fun. Rather than waiting 20+ minutes on the manufacturing process. The warehouse… does it really only cap at 200,000 for materials? I sell every car I make… at the expense of 2 hours or more because I don’t have enough warehouse space to build more than 1,000 low end cars at a time. 675 if higher end. 

This game platform has so much potential to grow and become a major hit that may even be able to get released on a platform like Xbox or PlayStation but the work will need to be done to improve before it can make it that far. Make these adjustments and you will see your ratings explode… or keep the game how it is and watch it stay where it is. This is all your decision as a game dev and I hope you take your time to read this and make the improvements I have listed

### 2/5 — An unpolished app.

*2025-03-01, version 2.4.2*

Feels like they didn’t even take any feedback. How are the problems below still existing after so many updates?

And these are just from less than 1 hour in game. 

1. Please stop the app interfering with my audio, the music is not that good to stop me from listening to YouTube. 

2. I hate that I can’t swipe to go back and have to reach for the top corner every time. 

3. I hate that checking more info on a part is so annoying. It takes you to the top of the part list every time. Makes it so hard to compare parts. 

Additional -1 star, because I lost all progress and purchases while on my android phone.

### 4/5 — Add Superchargers

*2025-02-13, version 2.4.2*

If There Is A New Update.Add Superchargers.

### 2/5 — Not Bad

*2025-01-22, version 2.4.2*

A weird game, didn’t really get the concept and I wish there was some 3D elements to it. Some parts felt clunky but good business development concept, could be easier to play.

### 4/5 — Ist gut

*2024-12-31, version 2.4.2*

### 4/5 — Please respond

*2024-10-26, version 2.4.2*

### 3/5 — Need help

*2024-07-10, version 2.4.2*

Good game but on the start I don’t know what to do. Whenever I try to sell a car it says “needs more headquarters space” and I need help I don’t know what to do

### 2/5 — bom

### 3/5 — Update please

*2024-04-10, version 2.4.2*

When is the new update coming, its getting boring

### 4/5 — I just don’t get it

*2024-03-29, version 2.4.2*

I am over the regional expectations for the region I am releasing the car in and I price the car at what the estimated cost is and my peputation goes down, I am at the bottom of the leader board and I just don’t understand what I’m doing wrong. Also, add a comparing system and the motor creation don’t give you any overall stats.

Edit: I have figured it out. I have to price it under the recommended price per unit.
