### 3/5 — Good, but…

*2026-07-24, version 2.9.37*

I find it weird that we still need to pay for no ads even if we delete our saves. Odd.

### 2/5 — Idle advertising

*2026-01-07, version 2.9.37*

Typical game play now days more trouble than playing. Watch ads to help creators make money while you attempt to waste time doing whatever you could have been doing without this distraction

### 3/5 — Good time killer but ads

*2025-11-12, version 2.9.29*

Game is fun but there are so many ads like to do anything. I get them for certain bonuses but to publish a game or research is just dumb.

### 2/5 — Реклама

*2025-11-12*

Невероятно много рекламы, которая включается сама по себе. Очень мешает играть.

### 3/5 — Way too many ADs

*2025-11-08, version 2.9.29*

Game is as close to game dev tycoon as possible with all the topical mobile ADs tho 😫 I like it but I give up mid AD most days and just exit the game until I want to play again instead of watch my 10 AD in a hour

### 3/5 — Fun game, doesn’t open anymore

*2025-06-01, version 2.9.29*

Fun game, lots of ads. Most recent update caused the game to not open anymore.

### 4/5 — Perfection mode

*2025-03-03, version 2.9.27*

I’d like a mode where every game is a perfect game, just a suggestion.

### 4/5 — Игра топ ну есть минус

*2025-01-23*

Привет я хочу сказать спасибо за игру. Есть маленький минус в том что добавьте больше декора без доната а так поставил бы 5⭐️.

### 2/5 — Реклама

*2025-01-11*

Заставляют смотреть рекламу за абсолютно всё! Большой минус, играть не приятно из за этого

### 3/5 — Sympa

*2024-12-29, version 2.9.23*

Un jeu sympa et au graphisme rétro par contre les menus ne sont pas pas forcément hyper simple a comprendre

### 2/5 — Симулятор рекламы

*2024-11-26*

Симулятор рекламы. За один сеанс игры (30 минут) рекламу посмотрел раз десять. А когда смотришь рекламу за бонус - игра вылетает и бонус не выдает.

### 4/5 — I want to become a Game Dev !

*2024-10-05, version 2.9.18*

Great game! Achieving milestones is very rewarding and it's not just about random clicking on the screen. I would give it 5 out of 5 stars, but there are too many ads that pop up unexpectedly, even when navigating the menu. However, the idea of doubling rewards for watching ads is a good one. The choice of game type, theme, and console felt realistic to me. GG!

### 4/5 — Good game too many ads

*2024-09-12, version 2.9.18*

Great game! Really good job really love the mechanics and I will watch ads for extra stuff but to watch more ads on top of that every minute or two is crazy still gonna play it though.

### 3/5 — Addictive but…

*2024-08-29, version 2.9.18*

Way too many ads just for opening a menu

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Good game but so many ads

*2026-08-15, version 2.9.37*

This game is very fun, but there’s just so many ads it’s basically unplayable

### 1/5 — Games probably fine, but you advertisement sources are questionable at best.

*2026-07-09, version 2.9.37*

Most of the ads are essentially phishing attacks asking for personal information, routing you to likely malicious phone numbers etc. This app should be removed for bad ethics alone..

### 1/5 — Симулятор рекламы

*2026-02-01*

Сделай демку и без рекламы в каждый тык. И через каждый тык окошко - удвоим посмотри рекламу. Цена 100 р за отключение рекламы была бы оправдана. А лучше демку и полную версию за 200. Но без тонны рекламы.

### 1/5 — Extremely excessive ads

*2025-11-25, version 2.9.29*

This game is super hard to play coherently or enjoy when you literally get an ad every 2 minutes or less. In the time it took me to walk downstairs to the kitchen from my bedroom I had already been served three ads, it’s ridiculous.

### 1/5 — Симулятор просмотра рекламы

*2025-09-11*

Никогда я не видел такого количества рекламы! Она везде. Провалил мини игру? Смотри рекламу! Хочешь сделать рекламы игры? Смотри рекламу! И так далее! Везде

### 1/5 — Ok what?? (Game is worse somehow)

*2025-02-13, version 2.9.27*

I love the new update! It makes the game look much more refreshed! 
However
I lost the Game engine. All the things i had reaserched (WHY AM I SUDDENLY AT 1/1/30 AS THE DATE?!? HAVE I FALLEN ASLEEP AND WOKEN UP TO THIS?!) please fix my date, i was in 2014 (september 19th) and waiting for next phone.
Now i cant even find where to research things, i poured over 20H into this game, (i got almost all research and upgrades).

Now the game got ANOTHER goddamn revamp.
Why?

### 1/5 — Very poor design choices

*2025-02-07, version 2.9.23*

Such as poor color and contrast. Everything is busy and hard to read, no thanks to the color selection. 
  
News popups interrupt everything, that’s terrible! 
  
Surprise ads? Instant uninstall.

### 1/5 — To many adds

*2025-02-06, version 2.9.23*

The adds in this game are crazy I can’t go to clips with out seeing an ad

### 1/5 — Симулятор просмотра рекламы

*2024-10-10*

Слишком зашкаливающе много

### 1/5 — Интерфейс ужасен

*2024-08-28*

Я Вас умоляю, уважаемые разработчики, вытащите работников из-под кнопок интерфейса!!! Их не видно и нажать на них невозможно! Это дико бесит! Кто додумался так сделать?! Ужас!

### 5/5 — God

*2025-08-29, version 2.9.29*

Such a good game love it. I am so speechless right now.

### 5/5 — Покупки не восстанавливаются

*2025-02-16*

Взяли деньги, а покупки не восстанавливаются🤷 получается прикольно)

### 5/5 — Very fun

*2025-01-01, version 2.9.23*

Very fun game and has lots of potential!

### 5/5 — Имба жива!

*2024-12-20*

Эта имба спустя года всё ещё жива! Последнее обновление вышла 20 часов назад, и это удивительно что игра которая была создана относительно давно до сих пор жива, разработчики этой игры-лучшие пиплы!

### 5/5 — Great Game

*2024-11-28, version 2.9.20*

It’s a simulator and you make games you choose upgrades for them and they have a rating of your games and you can buy adds for your games for even MORE hype for your games and you can get a studio and people to work to make your games better and go faster I love this but its
Single player  i highly recommend to get it because it’s also FREE I really think you should get it HAVE lots of FUN!!

### 5/5 — Наш слон

*2024-11-14, version 2.9.20*

10/10, те кто шарят за игровую индустрию будут наслаждаться. Разрабы молодцы.
Всё.

### 5/5 — Très bon jeu

*2024-10-24, version 2.9.20*

Excellent

### 5/5 — итак такой маленький Suggestion

*2024-06-18*

я бы добавил что то на подобии возможности делать трейлеры на RusTube. также возможность смотреть желания фан базы.
игра замечательная, видно что разработчик(и) постарался(ись) ведь игра очень интересная и даже жизненная

### 5/5 — Знатно

*2024-04-05*

Насыщенно и разнообразно

### 5/5 — meilleur jeu (comment ne pas avoir d’annonces)

*2024-03-30, version 2.8.23*

c’est le meilleur jeu tycoon et aussi pour ne pas avoir d’annonces désactivez l’internet😄
