### 4/5 — More levels pleaaaaase

*2024-04-03*

Great Game, Quick few sessions but needs levels! I’m maxed now!

### 1/5 — The game is 4+ years old... Where are the updates?

*2024-03-19*

I completed the game in maybe 2 weeks. Once you unlock everything, the game can't even count past millions. Any billions are just multiples of millions on the display. If the game isn't even prepared for people to pass 1 million dollars, why release it?

**Developer response:** The "4+" refers to the age rating, indicating it's suitable for ages 4 and older, not the age of the game. Regarding your feedback, we appreciate your insights and are working on updates to enhance the game's capacity for higher scores and provide more content. Thank you for your patience and support!

### 5/5 — Love it

*2024-03-09*

Love it however I finished in a day. I’m hoping they come out with new towns/worlds soon. I’m about to delete and redownload just to start over.  I’m missing playing.

### 4/5 — Ok but

*2024-03-03*

Ok but needs more to do. I have finished it all

### 3/5 — Simple but not too bad overall

*2024-02-17*

The game is very simple and can be easily picked up and put down at any time. It’s a simple idle wealth accumulator style game although it is quite a bit slower than many others and takes a while to build up any sort of wealth. It takes even longer if you get multiple issues related to the games frequent inability to continue building wealth whilst you’re away from the app. It likes to pick and choose when this feature works. Sometimes it will continue to build and other times I will return to the game to find that it just picks up where I left it, even if over 24 hours has passed. This is very annoying. Other than that, not bad to fiddle around with for a while to stave off the boredom.

### 2/5 — Super slow

*2024-02-14*

The game advances at a snail pace, you get a few minutes of gameplay and then have to wait 24 hours to have enough money to do get another couple of minutes of gameplay. The art is cool, hopefully they improve and Ill change the rating

### 4/5 — Game Need More But Is A Decent Little Game

*2024-02-12*

This game is a nice little game the tutorial is a bit glitched and there really isn’t a lot to the game which I like but it does get boring after a while and upgrading of stuff slows down significantly

### 2/5 — Bare

*2024-02-10*

Blocky looking but pretty enough, the game works like the mine tycoon types. Open a stream of revenue, wait and upgrade it or add another one. 

The problem with this one is that it’s quite slow. It’s 20 seconds at least between payments, and they don’t scale up quickly. They don’t get faster either.  In the meantime there is nothing to do but watch the car slowly move across the screen. The houses and businesses don’t do anything and there’s nothing else but a flock of birds, no pedestrians or anything to interact with. 

As a first game you should feel proud of the achievement, most people would have no idea how to do this, but as a game at the moment it’s boring I’m afraid.

### 1/5 — Slow, boring, as driven rubbish…

*2024-02-10*

This is the epitome of mobile gaming now! Save yourself some time!

### 1/5 — Where game?
