I luv the game

I luv the design of the game and the process

Response from developer

Thank you for feedback. And thank you playing my game

A

The game is decent I guess but it is very hard to scroll on literally every part of the game. It thinks I’m trying to click on stuff and won’t let me scroll either to the bottom of the page or to pick a genre. Also when the game of the year pops up there is no way to close out of it forcing me to swipe out of the app

Hello I fixed this issues with 1.2.0. If you have any question please send mail. infoakworldgames@gmail.com

Feeling lost

Hi! I love your game, been playing it almost non stop for the last 4 days or so. I’ve started over a few times and have gotten to about 20-30 years. But I am getting confused and frustrated at times. When my games perform poorly is it just RNG or is there an actual algorithm? Some pair ups seem to perform really well, then when I try them again after a while, they do terrible. I get reviews like this “poor execution” or “missed opportunity” or “needs
more polish” but my employees are maxed out and I don’t see any other avenue for me to control any part of the process.

It might also be helpful to add short descriptions to the Genres, personally I had no idea what isometric was and the pictures aren’t always super clear. Also when you spin the wheel to get a new theme or genre, it always puts the balance of your credits before spinning as the “cost” once your result is shown, maybe a bug?

Is there an avenue to train your marketing & development employee specific skills? I see I can upgrade the standard development skills, do these help during development process?

Sorry to ramble on, I’m enjoying your game and interested in continuing to advance and improve. As a budding developer myself this is a lot of fun.

Hi, your feedback is great. I left a very brief tip in the guidelines, but I didn't go into detail, sorry. It's like this: if you create a game category, you should create 5 or 6 different games with different themes and genres. There's actually an algorithm in the game; it's not random. I'll add this information somewhere. Thank you for feedback thanks to playing my game

Interesting but long winded.

I have only been playing for a few days but the progression is just really slow.

Response from developer

I left the game open-ended so people could figure it out for themselves. You might progress more slowly on your first attempts. As you understand and solve it, you'll see that you make faster progress. Thank you for your feedback.

Could of been better

This is a great game but you are just repeating the same thing over and over and over again. Also when you create a game it always gets like a 38/100. It is just not fair if you don’t have money you just survive like 3 years then you go bankrupt.

Response from developer

I designed the game to be very difficult, but since everyone found it challenging, I added an easy mode to the game starting with version 1.1.0. You can download and try it.
