### 5/5 — 10 out of 10

*2020-03-27, version 4.3*

Would bite again

### 5/5 — Cool

*2017-08-20, version 3.4*

It's a good game if you survive the debts that it throws my recommendation is get 2,000$ and MMO research before getting the 2 studio

### 5/5 — Love

*2017-06-18, version 3.4*

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2017-06-06, version 3.4*

This was a great game there are only a couple of bugs I have experienced, myself. I think the mmo aspect is very cool and adds another layer of depth to this great game. I recommend this game to everyone, as it is a blast to play!

### 4/5 — Nice game bro

*2016-11-26, version 3.4*

Hey, nice game bro. It's fun because you can evolve and it's really satisfying because you can see the money bar go up and you can go like 'Yes I'm making progress!!!'

### 5/5 — So much fun

*2016-09-12, version 3.4*

I absolutely love this game. And the only thing that bugged me is that you start in the 70s. Why do I have a big screen tv and a top notch computer. Shouldn't I start with a computer back then and upgrade it. But I still love it. It's so addictive

### 5/5 — Amazing (And Idea) 💡👌🏻👍🏻

*2016-06-28, version 3.4*

This Game Was Amazing But I Noticed You Released Another One. Maybe do you think you can Make A Game That lets you Pick What You Want To Be e.x: Game developer, Restaurant Owner, Science Lab Owner, Etc The ideas of a game like that are endless. I would develop a game like that but sadly I don't Know how to code. 😞

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2016-06-18, version 3.4*

I really enjoy this game

### 3/5 — Fun but...

*2016-06-05, version 3.4*

It keeps crashing while I'm playing and every time it crashes I lose almost all my money

### 5/5 — Great game I recommend

*2016-05-29, version 3.4*

This game is epic it's fun being able to create games and consoles and game engines getting a whole company and becoming famous enough and win awards! Get it it's worth the money!
