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!

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.

Best startup sim game

I have played many startup sims but this one is the best ngl. It really gives you that experience of running a startup.

Too good as a startup game

This game is really good. Realistic modes, real startup metrics and situations. Have been enjoying playing it.

I tried…

I’ve played tycoon and management games before and this one just had a very poor initial experience for me. I’m on an iPad and yet the banner ad at the bottom covers up the buttons on the quick help (and maybe other things?) Also, I don’t have the best eyesight in the world but it’s not the worst either and felt the font text was too small regardless of lighting setting , and it’s distracting to try reading with a ticker tape ad going along the bottom. I can’t tell if the icons actually have labels or not because of the ad banner. I tried clicking on the Sam guy to try to figure out what to do next and got two long ads and then the leaderboard… one of the ads was one of those zombie ads where people shame and physically assault a bad player “because it’s supposed to be funny”? Meanwhile I’m still trying to figure out how to play the game but I can’t tell what I can and can’t see, it’s hard to read what I can see and I’m not sure what icons I touch might send me on to another ad. I have no problem paying to remove ads but they shouldn’t interfere with me trying to understand the game. I might check back a few months down the road but as of right now, it’s a bounce for me.

Response from developer

Hey Founder! First of all, thank you so much for the detailed and honest feedback. You were absolutely right about the iPad experience - it wasn't up to standard. We're excited to tell you that in our brand-new v2.2 update, we completely rebuilt the tablet layout! The banner ad overlap bug is fixed, fonts and UI elements now dynamically scale to be much larger and readable on iPads, and we've introduced a new "Fairytale Mode" (Easy Mode) to make learning the ropes much less punishing. We'd love for you to give the new update a try whenever you're ready, but either way, we really appreciate you helping us spot these issues!

In love with the complexity

While many players might find the game very intimidating n complex i found it very addictive tbh. Because running a startup is complex.. duhh.

Good Game Potential

Reactive developers replied when I reported bugs to them on Socials.

Game has great potential and is incredibly difficult. With a few hours play I’m yet to achieve sustainable profit!

Closest to actually running a startup

I am fond of such games but app store lacked a real startup game. This gets closest to running a real startup virtually

Best business strategy game you will find on os

The game is one of a kind find for os yes you have a-lot of business games out there but if you are looking for something in-depth and allows you to play at your own pace this is it. The developer is amazing always urging for feedback and is just releasing his first update to the game where he asked for any feedback which could be given to improve the game. The new update brings a whole new wealth of depth into the true running of a start up and i for one am very excited to play this new update.
