### 4/5 — Lỗi loading

*2021-07-26, version 2.1.1*

Chơi đến 80000000 triệu tiền mặt thoát ra vào không được. Cứ hiện loading mãi, what the hell, bro!!!

### 3/5 — В целом неплохая, но

*2021-02-14, version 2.1.1*

Игра сложная лишь на старте, дальше всё идёт как по маслу. Печалит факт, что обновлений не было уже сколько лет, ничего нового не добавляют и не будут... У проекта неплохой потенциал ведь..

### 4/5 — Great game

*2020-09-26, version 2.1.1*

Love this game. Can’t wait to see what’s in store for it.

### 2/5 — One day clear

*2020-09-22, version 2.1.1*

Waste of time
Go to the desk and make somthing.
That is better than play this

### 4/5 — Глюк, ошибка, недоработка

*2020-07-12, version 2.1.1*

При покупке Алхимической машины не выполняются условия (не появляется обещанное золото). Это неприятно, потому что делать донат не очень хочется за линейную, хоть и приятную, игру.

### 5/5 — Good

*2020-07-11, version 2.1.1*

Great

### 3/5 — Good, not great

*2020-06-19, version 2.1.1*

I liked this game at first, but at a certain point it lost its ability to be engaging. It’s good for people who like slow games, but for people like me who want a challenge and constantly want a changing game, this isn’t the one for you. At a certain point, I had everything I needed and just waited for the game to be released, made a new one, and repeat. Every time I changed offices it changed for a little and I got to do stuff, but ultimately, I got bored after two days of playing it, it is however one of the better tycoon games on the iPhone.

### 5/5 — Office story

*2020-05-04, version 2.1.1*

This is a very interesting game

### 3/5 — I found a game breaking bug

*2020-05-01, version 2.1.1*

The game is pretty fun. I’ve gotten really far. But there’s a bug that prevents me for playing. Which is sad because all my progress is lost. 
When I press start it goes to the loading screen. But, the loading screen will keep covering the game forever. There’s only a spot on the left where I can see the office.

### 5/5 — Super fun but why does New York cost only 100k?

*2020-03-22, version 2.1.1*

It’s a fun game I was able to get lots of money, gold from the alchemy machines, but why was New York 100k? New York was the same price as Montreal. I feel like that’s a glitch. So maybe make New York 2 Million. And maybe you could add a machine that boost everyone’s happiness even though some people don’t want it. I really recommend this app.

### 5/5 — Molto interessante

*2020-02-20, version 2.1.1*

Idea che sa di deja vu MA app praticamente gratuita! Bella ed originale direzione artistica, belle le tracce di sottofondo anche se il loop non risulta piacevole. Per quello che offre al prezzo che ha è ottima! Il walkthrough è molto lineare ma interessante. Non richiede multitasking mindset ed anzi, il concept sembra quasi invogliarti ad un approccio sano nei confronti dell’app: giocarci poco ma ogni giorno. Non sentirete l’esigenza di comprare valuta in game per andare avanti anzi stimola quasi il voler comprare valuta solo a scopo di donazione ai dev.
C’è un confine labile tra casual e non, questo gioco si piazza più sul casual MA sarebbe interessante vedere maggiore profondità! Grazie per questa app! Ad Maiora!

### 5/5 — Отлично

*2020-02-14, version 2.1.1*

Доволен и приятно удивлен игрой, отсутствие рекламы позволяет наслаждаться процессами внутри. Надеюсь в будущем будет больше баланс, который нужен будет при подборе команды, появится разница между длинными проектами и короткими, где как раз подбор команды будет проявляться наиболее эффективно. Вообще был бы рад помочь с развитием игровой механики. 
Если была бы однаразовая рекламная интеграция при запуске, особо впечатление не изменилось бы.

### 5/5 — :)

*2019-12-26, version 2.1.1*

### 5/5 — Love this game

*2019-12-24, version 2.1.1*

I have played this game over the years and I still love it!

### 3/5 — На один раз пойдёт.

*2019-12-24, version 2.1.1*

После продажи компании всю работу начал искусственный интеллект и самый дешевый менеджер. Клепают казуальные игры на популярных платформах и стабильно входят в топ5. Скучно и не интересно. Пожалуй не будет места для этого приложения на телефоне

### 2/5 — Алхимическая машина

*2019-10-31, version 2.1*

Алхимическая машина 2 выдаёт всего 5 золота, хотя в описании стоит 15. Почему ?

### 5/5 — Great

*2019-10-31, version 2.1*

Great

### 5/5 — Office story

### 1/5 — Blatant ripoff

*2020-02-10, version 2.1.1*

Keep deleting my review and I’ll just keep writing it! 

The game used to be fun. It used to be fun to set up an office and progress using strategy with which tables to buy and which training for your workers to purchase. Part of that strategy involved buying gold making machines. Because obviously like most games everything that’s good costs gold. The machines used to make 15 gold per day. Now? Since the last update? Since the games gotten old and the developer is looking to make a few dollars before abandoning it? 4! It makes 4! Makes the game totally useless and impossible. The developer was hoping users would purchase gold from the store, looking to make money off of a game that’s been on the store for years and stopped turning a profit long ago. If your game is a burden on your bottom line, abandon it. Let us play it for as long as apples iOS updates will allow us. But don’t rework the game to make it a money trap and then put it up on the store for free to sucker users. That’s dishonest and wrong. I played your game for almost 2 years. I loved it, I really did. I’d play for hours on end. But you ruined it, and I haven’t played one second since then. You used to be a gem on the App Store, but you got greedy and showed your true colors. Don’t be a coward and delete my review again because I will only leave another and another and another. Let users learn about what you did. Let them learn that this used to be an incredibly fun game, and can still be a fun game if they are willing to pay money. If they’re not, then forget it, they won’t be able to survive the games “levels”. Let them decide for themselves. But don’t be a coward.

### 1/5 — I want my money back

*2020-01-07, version 2.1.1*

I did not buy this game but someone got into my account and bought this game so I change my password and everything I want my money back now.

### 1/5 — BORING

*2019-05-12, version 2.0.5*

AND SLOW

### 1/5 — Списали деньги!!!

*2018-11-14, version 2.0.2*

Игра былы бесплатная по акции, списали 149р. ТРЕБУЮ ВЕРНУТЬ Деньги!!!!

### 1/5 — Well, you asked…

*2018-10-07, version 2.0.2*

The game asked to be a rate, so I am writing.

The game doesn’t make a whole lot of sense, and there doesn’t seem to be a lot to do… You hit cryptic buttons, hire people, and slowly lose in-game money. I guess after you lose all your in-game money, you’re supposed to buy more money with an in app purchase, but I can’t imagine why I would want to do that. Nothing seems to make any sense, and I can’t tell if or why this is supposed to be fun.

### 1/5 — 🇪🇸 Spanish

*2018-10-06, version 2.0.2*

### 1/5 — Cadê o update pro iOS 11?

### 1/5 — Glitches that ruin the game

*2017-06-28, version 1.5.1*

There aren't many occasions I find myself saying "I should leave a review for this game!" But unfortunately, today I feel the need to share. The glitches in the game have ruined and completely interrupted game play. I'll list them in the order I encountered them.

1. My game crashed and I lost everything, despite constant saving.
2. After paying 350 gold bars and 100000 dollars (in game currency) to train an employee, resources taken but training didn't occur. Stats did not increase. Not once, but TWICE. 
3. On the final frontier (New York) it confused the location as Montreal, even though Montreal was no longer an option. It only charged me 100000 dollars though I feel like it should have been closer to 10000000.
4. (Not as much of a glitch as a SERIOUS annoyance) there are no commas in the numbers making it excruciating to count every zero to figure out pricing. See numbers above for reference.
5. When building the statue, the entire screen was miserably messed up and I could only see random "blocks" of the statue and despite building the entire thing it never changed. I could never see the statue I built and it cost a fortune to build. 
6. Last but very seriously not least, after building the statue, I should have the option to "free fly" or something similar. But, alas, just blocky half statue images covering the screen. Hmmm... so game over?? I reloaded to recoup the 10,000,000 I spent on the fifth building piece. Now, there's no further progress to attain and I've only been playing for a few hours.  This has been a mix of great and awful. At the beginning it was highly addictive but at the end I feel like all the time and energy spent on the game was for nothing, no satisfaction or completion what so ever.

As a time killer, it has potential. But, and I quote ;) "there is no place for this app on my phone." "It's ok but it could be better" "this app is awful" haha. Thanks for reading.

### 1/5 — Map not opening

*2017-05-21, version 1.5.1*

### 5/5 — Great Constructive Passtime

*2022-02-26, version 2.1.1*

### 5/5 — Good game

*2021-12-26, version 2.1.1*

I love it!

### 5/5 — Нормально

*2021-12-12, version 2.1.1*

Адская машина по описанию должна приносить 15 золота в день, а приносит 5. Усложните игру.

### 5/5 — Круто

*2021-11-20, version 2.1.1*

С прохождением всей игры хочу сказать: добавьте более обширную настройку игры, когда стоит быстрая перемотка времени персонажи бывало застревают по 2 человека в разных городах.

### 5/5 — Отвал «БАШКИ»

*2021-02-13, version 2.1.1*

Хорошая реализация, выбор между донатом и тратой игровой валюты, нет надоедливой рекламы с каждым действием. Батарейку не просаживает, залип в первый раз на 3-4 часа.

### 5/5 — Отличная игра

*2021-02-11, version 2.1.1*

### 5/5 — Игра мне зашла ;)

*2020-07-21, version 2.1.1*

Игра прекрасна, только завалил игру на половине прогресса из-за бага с появлением символов на середине экрана. Советую нанять продюсера.
