Response from developer

Thanks for the support, Founder. We always jump on bugs right away so players do not lose their progress, and I am glad the pack was worth it for you. We just pushed version 3.0.5 with more stability improvements across the board. Good luck building your company.

Lagging in iphone 13

Please update and heating my phone

Response from developer

Thanks for reporting this, Founder. Back in version 2.3 the engine had a background loop that was overworking the processor and causing the phone to warm up. We completely rebuilt the core game loop in version 3.0 and 3.0.5 to fix the CPU load and heating on the iPhone 13. Please update to the latest build in the App Store and try it again. If you run into anything at all, email us directly at hey@foundersim.in .

I am amazed by the depth and realism

Truly amazed by the realistic metrics this game has and also the depth of it. Very addictive and challenging.. kudos!

Response from developer

Thanks, Founder. We put a lot of work into tuning runway, burn rates, and dilution so decisions actually carry weight instead of feeling like a simple clicker. Since version 2.3, we added full story campaigns, M&A takeovers, and public market trading in the 3.0 updates. Hope you enjoy the new systems.

Best Game , Few suggestions

The game is a fab! I personally enjoy it a lot as I belong to the commerce field. But there are few suggestions
1. The UI lags as the months pass by like around the 60th month the game starts to lag which makes the experience a little frustrating.

2. More Domains can be introduced as the limited number of domains like AI platform and Marketplaces, after some time it doesn’t excites much to play the same domain again.

3.There can more options to Boost employees skills, like watching ads to boost skills

4. After reaching a maturity point i felt only managing employees is the monotonous work in the game, there can be a automation to hire employees so that founder can focus on other areas

These are some suggestions I thought of, overall it is the best.

Response from developer

Great notes, Founder, especially coming from someone with a commerce background. You will be glad to know we tackled these in our 3.0 updates: 1. The month 60 lag was fixed by cleaning up how timeline history is kept in memory. 2. We expanded the game to 11 tech industries now, including FinTech, SaaS, and DevTools. 3. We added C-suite executives like the CTO and CMO who automate repetitive team management once your company matures so you can focus on macro strategy. Update to version 3.0.5 when you get a chance and check it out. Hope it earns that 5th star from you.
