### 2/5 — Just pretty slow…

*2024-09-06, version 2.6.1*

Game goes by week. News items you can invest with happen annually. Returns are pretty consistently silly, while valuations are low. 500 employee company making 12.5K per week, 650k profits per year? Worth less than $1M.

Game basically drives you to some strange financial decisions and watching lots of videos early. The weekly cadence makes any allocation to safe assets terrible. You have no personal salary or anything like that to help you

### 3/5 — 3/5

*2025-02-06, version 2.6.4*

i play the game for awhile right, then i log off. but when i try to open the game again it crashes and won’t let me open my previous save. in this situation i even tried making a new save to continue playing, but it would freeze my screen every time i tried to hit play. i eventually had to delete the game and redownload just to start over and even after doing that it happened for a second time. 

would be 5 if this didn’t happen.
all i want is for the game to actually work. :(

### 3/5 — Good but needs major fixes

*2024-01-05, version 2.5.2*

The game is good to begin with. I love that the developer didn’t include ads unless you choose to watch them for rewards. 

Bad points:
- once you hit the highest tax bracket, there is a bug that causes you to be taxed 95% of your earnings (sometimes even above 100%) making it impossible to survive let alone progress
- the game crashes sometimes and won’t load the saved game, forcing you to start over
- charity donations claim to reduce your tax bill but don’t actually make any difference

### 3/5 — Crashing

*2022-11-15, version 1.2.1*

I enjoyed this game until it just started crashing and wouldn’t stop so I could no longer play

### 4/5 — .

*2024-10-21, version 2.6.2*

It's a good game just think you should be able to advance more then a week

### 4/5 — Great potential - weird tax glitch?

*2024-05-25, version 2.5.3*

Enjoying this game and think it has great potential, would like to see expanded depth in what you can invest in (eg more types of funds, bonds, more companies) and business development (more depth of features).

One big complaint is that my tax bill is based on my business income (revenue) and my business staff costs are not being deducted, so I’m paying tax on revenues, not profit, which makes it extremely hard to play as you get further as tax bills are ridiculously big. This seems like a pretty big bug.

### 4/5 — Awesome but lacking

*2024-02-01, version 2.5.2*

I like the concept but advancing the game a week at a time is too slow especially if you want to invest in bonds. I suggest you make it that you can simulate the weeks you want to pass.

### 4/5 — Good Game, Could be improved.

*2023-11-05, version 2.4.3*

Good game , simple easy to use.

Would like to see in the future where you can receive dividends from stocks .

Additionally it takes long for people to be willing to buy your company which slows the game .

Great game and very addictive.

### 4/5 — My Honest Opinion

*2023-06-07, version 2.4.1*

Very very fun game already addicted.

Just a few problems:

1. Some things don’t load correctly and are white like the high risk stocks etc

2. The tax rate is a little high but would be better if you could see exactly why your paying that much tax for each individual item

3. Make the animation a little faster for going forward 1 week

4. The crypto advisor never has done anything for me

5. Add the stocks to the main screen like the savings account

Apart from them the game is amazing :)

### 4/5 — Only issues

*2023-02-28, version 2.2.4*

Only issues I have is 1 donations do reduce taxes 2 when you restart you keep your staff then you have to uninstall then reinstall to play ether then that I like it

**Developer response:** Hi, thank you for the feedback.
Please could you explain a little more about the issues you have found.
I don't quite understand what you mean about having to uninstall then reinstall to play?

### 5/5 — Needs new updates

*2026-06-16, version 2.6.7*

Great game! But definitely time for some new updates

### 5/5 — Great game but would love to see these added in

*2025-08-08, version 2.6.6*

Would love to see these added to the game. The ability to pay out dividends after you float your company. Similarly, the stocks you can invest in paying dividends like in real life. Seeing the ownership percentage of the company you buy stock in. Buying enough stock in a company listed (becoming the majority shareholder) and getting the income they generate or the ability to merge your company with that company.

### 5/5 — Muito bom

*2025-04-25, version 2.6.6*

Gosto muito desse jogo seria muito bom se continuassem o aprimorando

### 5/5 — No Ads

*2025-01-13*

A lot of fun and the best part is there is no ads highly recommend

### 5/5 — I love the game!

*2024-04-28, version 2.5.3*

I enjoyed playing the game it’s one of my favorites however I do wish to see more done with it. It has potential and I’d like to see the game updated more to add more content for it.

### 5/5 — Best Investment And Business Game EVER!!!

*2024-03-09, version 2.5.2*

Please Add Diferent Crypto Currencies and also put employee wage at the company as tax deductible and Savings Accont should be 4%
And Also add new game modes one example: sandbox mode, you could change your starting cash, if you have a company or not, chosse stock prices at the start, how much % the savings account gives and how much tax % you have to play

### 5/5 — Good but

*2024-03-02, version 2.5.2*

Every time around year 5 or 6 it just start from 5000 5000 like I never played it happened three times now and I can’t seem to get back to my progress so I deleted it but had my fun

### 5/5 — Bug: Loss in company value after game reload

*2023-12-25*

$600 billion market cap at ~$90 share price. After loading the saved game, went down to $60 million market cap at same share price. Guess game doesn’t record post split change in shares or something funky happening when the percent return exceeds 9999%? Other than this issue, awesome game!!!

**Developer response:** Hi, thanks for the feedback.
We will look into this issue. Have you had a second stock split? If so did the same issue occur then as well?

### 5/5 — good

*2023-05-18, version 2.3.1*

good game just goes slow later on

### 5/5 — Enjoyable and fun game

*2023-01-16, version 2.2.2*

Really enjoyed playing this game especially now that the new update gives you more options to invest your money in different ways. Definitely makes it a lot more interesting. 
Looking forward to you adding more options for investments!
