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!

A truly great game

The love that’s been poured into this game is apparent.

Plus, with no microtransactions, you’re not left feeling like a pay pig for the developer.

This game is genuinely good, deep, and shows a ton of potential. As it stands right now I’d give it an easy 9 out of 10, and I can see it becoming a perfect game if the dev keeps adding QoL changes, depth, and maybe even DLC one day.

To the dev: THANK YOU!

We need more game devs like you. I will also be gladly purchasing this game on steam when it comes out. I played the demo on PC and I feel like it definitely needs a lot of work compared to the mobile version, but after all; it is just a demo (on PC anyways)

All in all, tremendous job done here and this game should stand as a reminder that devs should prioritize creating a legitimately GOOD game over some lame cash grab riddled with features locked behind pay walls.

Thanks again!

Sucked in from the first second.

If you’re interested in the music industry like I am this game is just amazing. I am a little obsessed, it’s just so… real. Best new game in years, imo.
