Poderiam diminuir o valor para liberar novos tópicos e gêneros, fica saturado muito rápido Também poderiam remover aquela feature que reclamam de que você está repetindo locações, no começo do jogo você é meio que obrigado a isso. ### 3/5 — Many bugs. *2025-08-09* Everyone is labeled he, the sliders don’t work and are luck based as sliders cannot be considered 0% so writing instructions and post/ pre production instructions are hard to mange, the stats aren’t explained and high state pros also make bad movies. ### 3/5 — Recht gut *2025-08-07* Ich finde das Spiel eigentlich echt gut. Es ist ein sehr echt wirkender Simulator auch die Schauspieler und Regisseure sind toll da sie immer eine echt detaillierte Personenbeschreibung enthalten. Allerdings sind einige Dinge mangelhaft. Es ist sehr schwer genug Umsatz zu machen. Ich finde die Produktionskosten sind zu hoch. Der Kalender läuft sehr schnell ab, das könnte man beheben. Sehr gut gefallen mir die Silvester. ### 3/5 — Some improvements or changes *2025-05-26* I have played the game and it is an awesome one but there can be some changes like 1. The days must pass even if the game is closed so that hype of movies can be created a bit early 2. There must be an update for announcement window where new projects can be announced to create more hype. 3. Movie posters must be customisable 4. There can be a collaboration mode where two or more studios can collaborate as one and produce a Movie ### 2/5 — Mi sono illusa *2025-05-20, version 1.11* Ho voluto scaricare la versione free, per poi buttarmi su quella a pagamento se il gioco avesse soddisfatto le mie aspettative, ma non è successo. Erroneamente, ho creduto che l’app fosse fortemente ispirato a un gioco che avevo sul Mac e che ho amato: The Movies Superstar. A parte il tema, non hanno nulla in comune. Non costruisci nulla, non crei nulla. Puoi solo scegliere quanto investire, la troupe, il genere cinematografico e poco altro. Non c’è creatività, né divertimento. ### 3/5 — I want to like this more *2025-05-12* Very fun game but also very frustrating, no matter what you do movies are very difficult to succeed and certain combinations that are perfect in real life are things the game considers bad. Historical and action for example go great together but the game doesn’t think so for some reason. ### 3/5 — In-app purchases *2024-08-30* I remember playing this game when it first came out and the game was much more causal and fun, i stopped playing for about a year now and seems there’s no way around having to buy in-app purchases in order to rank my studio up. Seems very money hungry imo, no matter what i do can’t seem to not go into the negative even getting the best people for my movie just ain’t no way around getting a bad ROI for my movies. very disappointing this game turned into what it is today. ### 4/5 — Mobile business (f2p) *2024-08-11* Très bon jeu seulement on tombe dans le négatif très vite haha ### 5/5 — Super jeux et petite question *2024-06-28* A quand une version sur play store afin que je puisse y jouer sur ma tablette ? **Developer response:** Merci pour ton retour. Pour l'instant, je n'ai pas prévu de version Android du jeu. Je suis l'unique développeur et je manque de temps pour travailler sur cet aspect. ### 3/5 — Fatto molto bene ma un po’ troppo difficile *2024-06-22, version 1.11* Il gioco è molto carino, proprio quello che cercavo. Peccato che dopo due film sei già in bancarotta. Servirebbe più budget iniziale o qualche aiuto in più. Sembra di combattere in dark souls 😂 ### 5/5 — Obsessed *2024-05-25* I’m absolutely obsessed with this game. Every time I play, I feel I’m learning something new and am finding the best ways to increase profit. I’m wondering how to boost the morale of the staff you hire though? **Developer response:** Thank you very much! The morale of the people you hire depends mainly on two things: your responses to their requests and the success of the films they've worked on. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Says a slur *2026-07-27* Was playing happily until a movie title was generated and it said a slur ### 1/5 — Horrivel *2026-07-25* 0 estrelas todo bugado ### 1/5 — Muito ruim *2024-12-27* horrível ### 1/5 — One of worst Game ever *2024-11-16, version 1.11* No tutorial, didnt understand Game mechanics ### 1/5 — Orribile *2024-07-09, version 1.11* Orribile dopo 2 film sei già in bancarotta mettete più soldi e diminuite i costi dei film ### 1/5 — Awful game *2024-06-22* Can you please make a better version of this game it’s quite frankly impossible to succeed in my studio because at always in debts can you make it like do something else to make extra money **Developer response:** At the beginning of your career, spend as little money as possible and improve your marketing center. By making the right choices, your first films will earn you some money and increase your reputation, enabling you to hire better actors, directors and screenwriters. ### 1/5 — It’s a scam game *2024-03-07* Was wondering why it’s so impossibly difficult and then I was told in a Discord group that the development made it incredibly difficult on purpose to get us to spend money on it or buy the other version. **Developer response:** At the beginning of your career, spend as little money as possible and improve your marketing center. By making the right choices, your first films will earn you some money and increase your reputation, enabling you to hire better actors, directors and screenwriters. ### 1/5 — Waiting for fix *2024-01-22* Add Russian language please **Developer response:** 1 star to request a translation? ### 1/5 — Idioma *2023-10-04, version 1.5* Aún que lo pongas en español aparece en francés , está muy mal echo el juego le falta poner textos ### 2/5 — Guide *2025-05-28* How to make profit, movies keep making loss can’t even start the studio funds of 5mil are over as every movie keep making loss, need a guide. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Bravo ! *2025-09-23* Tout d’abord, je tenais à féliciter le développeur qui, avec peu de moyens, mets une intelligence et un bon développement, il réalise des jeux, beaucoup mieux que certaines grandes boîtes où ils ont toute une équipe de développement et des moyens plus importants. Bravo, continue comme ça, je continuerai à parler autour de moi de ce jeu à mes amis et ma famille. Je vais certainement faire une petite contribution financière pour encourager ce genre de petits développeurs, qui ont tout compris sur ce que doit être un jeu mobile. encore merci beaucoup ### 5/5 — Muito bom *2025-08-27* Jogo tem potencial para ser um dos maiores da categoria cinema. ### 5/5 — Underrated *2025-01-23, version 1.11* If we support this game they must add a lot more, and it's pretty good already ### 5/5 — Very good *2025-01-11* Nice game for long drives ### 5/5 — I love it *2025-01-11, version 1.11* I want more moneyyyyy ### 5/5 — great *2025-01-07, version 1.11* deserves more recognition ### 5/5 — Great sim game! *2024-12-22* Great work! Very enjoyable and exactly what I was looking for. Is there any way to speed up time while waiting for your movie’s release? ### 5/5 — Gold :)) *2024-12-17* Absolutely loving this, I dont understand how so many people think its hard I’m on 2010 even though I started in 1957 and still making a profit ### 5/5 — C bien mais *2024-11-16, version 1.11* C trop dur d’avoir des séries c trop mgl ### 5/5 — Add this to improve the gameplay *2024-07-03* 1 - schedule the movie release date 2 - lower the research points of the items 3 - add dvd,tv channel,ott companies ( diff companies and diff contact so we can pick good one ) 4 - make more realistic....😉 **Developer response:** Thank you very much for your feedback and suggestions for improvement, I'll look into them. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
