Others in the review say beg until you reach a certain amount of money but I could never make it over 200$ begging even with bus pass and puppy. I wanted to get to the stocks and education but every time I attempted I died lol. Maybe I missed something? But I had to uninstall. ### 4/5 — Can't increase the number of items to sell bug *2026-07-28, version 1.0.58* Even after purchasing the upgrade, there isn't an option to increase the number of items you can sell at once. ### 2/5 — Good idea but not good game *2026-07-26, version 1.0.58* The whole purpose and idea of the game is good but its literally impossible to make it pass like $500 and unrealistic when it comes to making money ### 5/5 — Bien *2026-07-23* Bien ### 4/5 — Great concept! *2026-07-18, version 1.0.57* it’s addicting building yourself up from nothing ### 5/5 — tuff *2026-07-14, version 1.0.57* tuff game ### 4/5 — Pretty easy *2026-07-14, version 1.0.57* Its pretty easy but people are very dumb. First, you keep clicking beg till you get 500$, 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 ### 5/5 — To easy to make money *2026-07-12, version 1.0.57* 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 ### 5/5 — Great fun! *2026-07-09* Challenging but endless fun! ### 5/5 — Very fun *2026-07-03, version 1.0.55* It’s a very fun and cool game ### 4/5 — Hard game *2026-07-01, version 1.0.55* It’s improved over time ### 5/5 — Fun *2026-07-01, version 1.0.54* Fun but silly at times ### 5/5 — Fun *2026-06-26, version 1.0.54* Great game ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Have to pay the really do anything *2026-08-29, version 1.0.59* Waste of time ### 1/5 — Нет локализации *2026-08-11, version 1.0.59* Сделайте русскую локализацию, пожалуйста. ### 1/5 — Dark mode *2026-08-02, version 1.0.58* Bring back dark mode wtf ### 1/5 — Bad game *2026-07-23, version 1.0.57* I got so much in debt (quadrillions) that the game crashed and won’t open ANYMORE. SO PLEASE FIX YOUR GAME. ### 1/5 — Bug in the game with the stock market *2026-07-05, version 1.0.55* Can’t put quantity to sell only sell 1by1 ### 1/5 — Money grab, essentially unplayable due to a glitch preventing progression, overall just full of bugs *2026-07-03, version 1.0.55* 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. ### 1/5 — Money Grab *2026-06-26, version 1.0.54* Impossible to get anywhere without spending money. Lots of pop ups and annoying ads ### 1/5 — Haptics *2026-06-26, version 1.0.54* The setting to turn haptics off doesn’t work. lol. Just lol. ### 1/5 — awful game *2026-04-25, version 1.0.50* pay to win hard to understand ### 1/5 — Dumb game *2026-04-21* Title says it, nothing else to add about this trash ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Very tricky game *2026-08-25, version 1.0.59* You have to kind of figure out what’s important to you so actually every decision does matter ### 5/5 — Good *2026-08-17, version 1.0.59* Challenging game ### 5/5 — 🤘🏽 *2026-08-16, version 1.0.59* 🤘🏽 ### 5/5 — Yes *2026-08-16, version 1.0.59* Yes ### 5/5 — Yes *2026-08-15, version 1.0.59* Yes ### 5/5 — Not bad *2026-08-14, version 1.0.59* Not bad ### 5/5 — Cool *2026-08-13, version 1.0.59* Well made game so far ### 5/5 — GOOG *2026-08-12, version 1.0.59* Good ### 5/5 — Good *2026-08-09, version 1.0.58* Good ### 5/5 — Good *2026-08-06, version 1.0.58* Good --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
