tuff game

Pretty easy

Its pretty easy but people are very dumb. First, you keep clicking beg till you get 500$, then, study for you ged till you get 60% pass rate, then become a courier, then, you buy a buss pass and phone, then you get your ged, then you start flipping burgers. Skip real estate realtor, and get your bachelors immediately for sales rep, then immediately after, your masters for business rep, and then phd for researcher, then you just buy and flip businesses. And then you get to like a few dozen millions and then you quit. Takes about an hour to beat the game

To easy to make money

Love the game but way to easy to make millions
And I don’t like the fact when you die all your money is gone
And there isn’t a feature to have a kid to carry on playing with your money

Bug in the game with the stock market

Can’t put quantity to sell only sell 1by1

Money grab, essentially unplayable due to a glitch preventing progression, overall just full of bugs

I can’t get a job as any time I apply for fast food the game glitches and instead of letting me get the job or saying I got rejected, it says I lost 7 days of life expectancy. Even if I try 50 times, I just end up dying because it continues to do that. Among other annoyances, it also gives you endless pop-ups. The “don’t show again” is completely fake. Overall just another good idea ruined by greed.
