### 4/5 — A little short….

*2024-02-08, version 2.23*

Fun and addicting but everything passed by too quickly…and I was on Normal mode

### 4/5 — Good game

*2023-04-01, version 2.22*

This game was the best $1 I’ve spent on a game! However , I completed it within about a week of playing. Please add more content

### 3/5 — Needs a new update

*2021-04-28, version 2.08*

So yeah, I built my mall fairly well, but I keep losing money despite combos. Items cost too much to build and I don’t understand how to run a fair. No where in the instructions does it tell you how to do it. Every time I try to place it over sections of stores, it won’t take it saying no boxes available. I’m assuming they mean the boxes hanging off the stores but I guess not it doesn’t work.

### 2/5 — This game is not worth 5 pounds

*2019-11-02, version 2.08*

If this game was a quid or two it would be good, but it is not worth 5 at all, I loved playing build a mall games as a kid on the computer and I was hoping it would be like that! But it wasn’t at all. It might have been because I only played it for half an hour but there didn’t seem to be much content at all...

### 4/5 — Fun and simple

*2019-02-24, version 2.08*

It’s a great game, but only problem is when I build a hallway. The build menu says hallway cost 1000 but when I build it takes 10000 out of my money. Which is correct?

### 5/5 — 진짜 재밌습니다

*2019-01-17*

몇개월 전에 1회차 하고 지금 2회차중인데 더 더 재밌어요ㅠㅠ 근데 계속 에러가 떠서 게임 진행 못하고맀습니다ㅠ ㅠ ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

### 5/5 — Pretty Good! Worth the money!!!

*2018-12-29, version 2.08*

This is the BEST of the builder type games I’ve played. The throwback pixel graphics brings the innocence back to video games!

If you don’t over spend into too deep of debt- you really don’t have to wait long to build stuff. Unlike some “Tycoon” games where you need to spend real money and wait overnight for game credits- you pay one fee upfront WITH NO IN APP PURCHASES😁 and there’s no prolonged waiting.

You get a real sense of accomplishment with so many things to do you won’t get bored.

It’s really addicting and I highly recommended it!

### 5/5 — Wonderful.

*2018-12-06, version 2.08*

Wonderful example of Kairosoft's expertise in tycoon games. I loved playing this game and want more, though I understand this game might not receive updates any time soon, and that's fine. It was a great use of time, and I highly recommend it.

### 5/5 — Best Kairosoft Game

*2018-10-07, version 2.07*

This is my all time favorite. The videogame one is a close second followed by cruise ship story. Great time killer

### 5/5 — Favorite game

*2018-07-11, version 2.05*

Best company when it comes to pixel games.After they say the games over you can still play and unlock more stores and items. You can play this for hours. 100% Best Game and App

### 5/5 — Very good favourite game 👌🏼👍🏼

*2018-06-30, version 2.05*

I believe this game is the apex of this genre of story based gaming, I have already played through this game twice and, after years, have come back to my two, half finished saves and, honestly, have had the time of my life. The game is paced impeccably well (especially since the bug fixes) and is a joy to play. I think the 2D aspect gives it superiority over the other games by the developers. The game has clear objective requirements that gives the player a feeling of fulfilment every rank they ascend to. Some things in the game I find a bit *ahem* interesting,, such a the purchasing of combos' gotta be honest, it's a little annoying. But that being said, I still think the game is amazing and I particularly love the fact that it is an upfront purchase with no in app purchases (no 'pay to win' bull) that way it feels much less scammy.
Overall a great game and wow ( to tired to try and make proper sentences I've been writing this for so long aahhscbjms).

### 5/5 — The best

*2018-02-19, version 2.05*

This and Game Dev Story are far and away the best games Kairosoft have ever produced. None of the others even hold a candle to these two masterpieces.

### 5/5 — Addictive and outright delicious

*2018-01-28, version 2.01*

I've skipped school to play this masterpiece of a game. 11/10 recommend.

### 3/5 — 처음으로 앱결제를 해봤어요

*2017-12-18*

게임이 너무 재미있어 보여서 진짜 처음으로 앱스토어에서 결제를 해봤어요 처음에는 생각했던 게임이 아니라 좀 당황했지만 하다보니 이상하게 재미있더라구요 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 다만 내가 뭘어떻게 할수있는게 그렇게 많지가 않은거같고 가게들을 내가 운영하는데 어떤식으로 운영해야하는건지 잘 모르겠네요 아직은. 전문코너 연결하거나 잘안되는 가게같은건 문을 닫아주거나 하는등 이런걸 쉽게 하기가 힘들어요 ㅠㅠㅠ 더 하다보면 배울게 많을거같아 할수록 기대되는 게임입니당

### 3/5 — 1.09달러로 세일한다해서 샀는데 7천원이 결제됐네요 ...

*2017-12-08*

1.09달러로 세일한다해서 샀는데 7천원이 결제됐네요 ... 카이로 게임을 다 좋아하고, 이번 게임도 재밌는데 결제내역은 좀 어떻게 해주셨으면 좋겠습니다 ㅠㅡㅠ

### 5/5 — 시간 잘가는 게임임

*2017-12-05*

첨엔 정말 시간 가는 줄 모르고 게임함. 이게임에 전문코너라는 시스템이 있는데, 여러 점포를 조합해서 시너지를 내는 방식이라 점포 위치 정하고 배치하는 맛이 있음. 전문코너 종류도 엄청 많아서 그거 발견하는 재미도 쏠쏠ㅋ 그리고 이런 류 겜은 보통 2회차는 질릴 수 있는데 이 겜은 1회차 하면서 알게 된 노하우+전문코너 목록을 기반으로 2회차에선 더 좋은 백화점을 구상 할 수 있음. 그래서 2회차도 재미짐

### 5/5 — 요새 한글화러쉬 끊겼네요 ㅠ

*2017-12-04*

제가 진짜 왠만하면 카이로게임들 다합니다.
그래서인지 한글화를 잘 안해주는것 같아요..
그래도 좋습니다 ㅎ

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Move feature bugged

*2020-10-07, version 2.08*

Move Feature bugged. Stuck in place.

### 1/5 — Mysterious

*2019-08-19, version 2.08*

This game got boring after a while so I recommend you don’t get it

### 1/5 — Overrated

*2018-07-06, version 2.05*

I have no idea why people like this game. It pales in comparison to the only good game Kairosoft has ever made, Game Dev Story. I want a refund.

### 1/5 — Prices

*2016-12-09, version 2.00*

The prices are bad of stuff is way to high. Also it says build a hallway for 1000$ but you pay 11000$. Try to fix this

### 1/5 — Required space...

*2016-06-16, version 1.2.2*

Space went from like 14 Mb to 140Mb... Only description was minor fixes... How minor is an extra 126 Mb of space..?

### 1/5 — Ok

*2016-01-31, version 1.2.2*

It is a good game but... It could be better if there wasn't a time limit. (Only 15 years!)

### 1/5 — Won't even work!

*2014-12-23, version 1.0.0*

If I could rate it 0 stars I would because i can't even get past the main menu! Not even worth any money I can't even play it.

### 1/5 — iPhone 5

*2013-10-16, version 1.0.0*

Not working at all on iPhone 5 main screen loads but won't allow to click on any options poor.

### 1/5 — Needs considerable improvement

*2012-05-02, version 1.0.0*

I have completed the 15 years the "story" runs for, and quite frankly I'm disappointed. Would be good if you could build it up to 20 or 30 floors and three or four times as long. 15 years for a mall story is just ridiculous - 40 or 50 would make it much more challenging. What would also make it more challenging is being able to level up your businesses past level 10 which I think is very lame. I was going to rate it 3 stars, but come to think of it it doesn't even deserve that. I'm giving it 1 star as for now it's a waste of money.

### 1/5 — Meg store

*2011-12-11, version 1.0.0*

When you end the game you cant reststart it :(

### 5/5 — Ty kairosoft for all the cool games

*2023-01-23, version 2.22*

I’ve been playing you’re games for ages and would love to see a kairosoft game about a fashion or a boutique. I feel like that would be a blast to play. I don’t know where to send suggestions so I’m writing a review ^^;
