Insanely Good - Absolutely Worth It

For anyone complaining about difficulty: You don’t have to use the default world state.

This game is beyond awesome. There is so much more than just following one band’s career. You can create your own genres of music and plot their popularity thru the decades.

Dev is always working on new ideas, taking feedback from players, polishing QoL.

I found this game while searching for the 90s DOS game Rockstar! And i am so glad i did.

Not bad

Once I purchased it, I haven’t put my phone down

Good game

I enjoy the game but it seems I have accidentally purchased the game a few days after it has been ported over to pc and released with more features. I’ve accidentally purchased the original version here on my phone which is apparently the lesser product, thus making me feel short changed. There’s a big list greeting you after you purchase this app that proudly displays all the features that you won’t be able to experience? Great. My entire playthrough I felt bummed out that I was playing a lesser version of a game, the B-product

Extremely addictive

Honestly one of the best game I played on mobile. The gameplay is simple but addictive because you to make more and more stats/money.
Maybe it’s to répétitive, but overall a great game.

Great Game!

Honestly have put far too much time into this game since I bought it! It’s entertaining challenging and honestly so fun! Worth every penny and looking forward to playing the PC version soon!
