## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Very basic and missing features

*2025-08-09*

Very basic mechanics and most of the old game features missing like weapons and stash size

### 1/5 — Lose too easily

*2025-07-11*

I love a good simulation game but you seem to lose far too easily for it to be enjoyable

### 3/5 — Needs improvements

*2025-12-28*

It really good layout and play through but u should be able to defend yourself with something maybe add a shop for bigger pockets, small weapons and or a hospital to heal and maybe longer days? otherwise the game has some great potential keep up the great work

### 3/5 — World Prices!!!

*2025-09-17*

has lots of potential 
Would love a system to check if what you buying is worth is kinda like drug lord 2, get the estimated prices and a stock type chart

### 3/5 — Scratches the Itch

*2025-06-19*

A good clone of a classic. Events happen to frequently and usually take everything you have stalling out the game. Wouldn’t mind it every now and again but had 3 events back to back that took everything in a game. That is a bit much.

### 5/5 — Need to score a fix OR looking for high times?

*2026-05-29*

Play this game and quickly you will learn street economics. 

You might have flunked out of junior high, but that doesn’t mean life’s over. 

This game will teach you how to survive.

Get smarter as you play.

This is one of the simpler drug wars, Dopewars style games, but it’s actually more addicting than the others cause it’s it’s simple clean, fast and you can get a game just minutes.

### 5/5 — Really fun

*2025-12-27*

The developer’s artwork is amazing too!

### 5/5 — Big Rick the loan shark is outta his mind!!

*2025-07-17*

How is it that you can pay the loan shark but if you were to get a second loan he comes for the money the next day instead of 10 ????

### 5/5 — Very addicting!

*2025-06-27*

I didn’t think I was going to like this game but I was completely wrong!  It’s very challenging in a unique way and fun too!

### 5/5 — Cool idea, a lot of potential

*2025-06-25*

I play a lot of idle, simulator-like games such as this one and can say that this particular game is fun despite its super simple mechanics. It definitely has a lot of potential to grow into a more complex game assuming that is what the creator intended. Something I can say though is I wish there was a mechanic or indicator for chance of death when making certain deals: buying/selling instead of doing an action like fighting back and just dying; restating your progress. More locations and products would be immersive in my opinion, adding more to gameplay experience. All in all, 5/5 regardless of its early launch. Can’t wait to see more in the future.

### 5/5 — Love this Game

*2025-06-07*

Very fun & cheeky game that doesn’t harvest your data or have annoying ads. Great to play while on the bus/train/plane or in a waiting room. Love that all of the images were hand-drawn by the developer too. Currently trying to beat my high score every day.
