Amazing Depth

Excellent game with great depth when it comes to startups and tycoon mechanics. I keep finding new menus and features and things to invest in, and I love how many different routes you can pursue. There are a few bugs such as employee names not populating after a while (around 20-30) or not being able to fully manage the org chart which perhaps needs to be more automated or fully manual, but I’m loving this so far. Looking forward to seeing this game grow!

Notable bugs: employee names not being filled in. Not being able to fully organize the org chart with managers after a few employees. Losing cash when metrics say you’re making a profit. Not clear enough if this is due to a lawsuit or something else.

Response from developer

Thanks for the depth note and for naming the three bugs. Names after the first twenty hires, the manager picker dropping people, and Home saying keep while the bank paid tax or a settlement are fixed in the latest (OTA) update. Org stays fully manual. Over six reports is allowed and slower.
