### 3/5 — Баги с наградой

*2026-05-18*

Если заходишь в игру и смотришь рекламу ради умножителя, но реклама не загрузилась или экран потух и пришлось перезайти - ты не получишь ВСЮ офлайн награду 
Если ты смотришь несколько реклам, чтобы продлить действие механики с привлечением клиента - то все продления слетят

### 1/5 — Actualicen su juego 😡

*2026-04-22, version 1.100*

Bueno juego pero no está actualizado actualicen su juego si no sáquenlo de la App Store 😡eso enoja ya

### 1/5 — 4 yrs since an update. I like it but where’s the rest?

*2026-04-01, version 1.100*

I love this game! I’ve spent the better part of 2 months with this game and I’m currently maxed out on reputation, items and story line. Please! Where’s the rest?!?! The bathroom doesn’t even have the rest of what it needs either! Would love it if the main character was also customizable with features. Could be the same name and story/gender but maybe skin tone could be chosen? That’d be cool. Thank you!

### 3/5 — Fun but….

*2026-02-04, version 1.100*

This game is fun but it is so slow.. and takes a long time to get to the next level . I’m ready to delete it. Should be more interactive in my opinion …

### 4/5 — barber

*2026-01-24, version 1.100*

### 4/5 — Fun

*2026-01-14, version 1.100*

### 3/5 — Bug

*2025-12-07, version 1.100*

Nach laden der 700 wo mir gesagt wir dass ich die innen Einrichtung ändern kann hängt dass Spiel in einer dauerschleife und ich kann nichts drücken

### 5/5 — Eccezionale

*2025-11-23, version 1.100*

Gioco fantastico diverso dagli, puoi progredire senza acquistare in app e con episodi da sbloccare, unica pecca..  finito in poco tempo! Aspetto con ansia un aggiornamento!!! 😍

### 4/5 — Great Game, But...

*2025-11-17, version 1.100*

This game is great its super fun and I hope it gets more updates and content however, my game has glitched and says I've maxed out my reputation level and can no longer progress in the story but there is still a ton of stuff I should be able to do like finish the bathroom, finish building the chairs in the coffee side of the shop, and more characters I have yet to unlock. If this could be looked into and fixed it would be 5 stars!

### 5/5 — Actualizar

*2025-11-16, version 1.100*

Hace 3 años que lo jugué y todavía no lo actualizan
