## What is Struggling Man?

Once upon a time, in a humble town nestled between rolling hills, there lived a man named Jacob. He was a hardworking soul, dedicated to providing for his beloved family. The story of Jacob began with a cutscene—a pregnant woman, his wife, tenderly holding onto hope as they anticipated the arrival of their newest family member.

The game commenced with urgency as Jacob rushed to call the ambulance, nerves tense as he guided the emergency services to his wife. The first level was a whirlwind of emotions and tension, with the siren wailing through the night as Jacob's heart raced in anticipation.

In the second level, players assumed control of Jacob, steering the ambulance through winding streets towards the hospital. The roads were treacherous, but Jacob navigated them with determination, willing the vehicle to move faster, every second crucial for the safety of his wife and unborn child.

The third level unfolded with the joyous cry of a baby boy echoing through the hospital corridors. Jacob's heart swelled with overwhelming happiness and relief as he held his son for the first time. His family was complete, and they soon journeyed back home, their little bundle of joy nestled safely in their arms.

Time flew by, and five years later, the boy, now an energetic and curious child, approached Jacob with bright eyes and a fervent request—a bicycle. It was a simple desire, but Jacob knew the weight of its significance to his son. However, life had been unyielding, and financial constraints loomed heavily over their household.

Undeterred by adversity, Jacob took on extra shifts at work, sacrificing sleep and rest to save every penny. Each level thereafter depicted Jacob's unwavering commitment, his wearied but determined face illuminated by the streetlights as he toiled tirelessly, driven by his son's innocent wish.

Finally, after overcoming countless hurdles and sacrifices, Jacob stood proudly before his son, a shiny bicycle by his side. The sheer joy on his son's face was worth every struggle Jacob had faced. It was not just a bicycle; it was a testament to a father's unconditional love and unwavering dedication.

The game concluded with a heartwarming scene—a father and son cycling together, the wind carrying their laughter as they embarked on a journey filled with love, perseverance, and the unbreakable bond of family.

### 1/5 — Don’t download if you hate adds

*2024-06-17*

I thought this would be a great game. I said yay a father sim because all the mother sims are weird and I’m a dude. I only played a little till I got rid of it. I only played tree levels and there were already nine pop up adds! The graphics need lots of work. I can’t play with the stupid annoying voices they talk in. The people will just walk into walls randomly and only two rooms have furniture. This game makes up mad. I have to do weird stuff. I have to pick up a truck from my friend. On this level when I was in the phone all I heard was two people at once talking over each other. When I tried to read the words all I saw was the box. At the end the words popped up but made no sense! I hate this game! If there was a 1/100 star review that would fit this game. I had to watch so many adds! I would click on the mode I want and I would have to watch an add, after I chose the level and another add popped up, and after that the screen says continue and when I click on that… there is another add!!!!!!! Don’t get this game. You have to watch three adds just too start the game level and on top of that the levels only last two and a half minutes at the most! The people talk in sentences that don’t make sense! The kid James had to make weird pauses whenever there was a comma!!!! Bro you better fix these things. I am still going! I have to wait at least two minutes just before I can move on to the next level even with 💯 percent WiFi! I hate this! On top of that the games takes about one minute just to load. The adds are the long ones that don’t let you skip them till you have been watching it for at least a minute! You can click no on the pop up for no adds but it will come back right after you watch a add. I got annoyed by this because I don’t pay for games!!! The cars in this game all look the same and you can’t even get a good look at the person you are playing! I want to just wipe this game from the world!! I need to talk to someone but I could not get this out in my journal so I talked into this thing! I hate this game!!!! DONT GET IT! It gives you nothing but a bucket of rage 😤! I want to just punch the maker of this game in the face. The preview looks amazing and I thought it would be but I was so wrong! Only throw up would like this game! I hate it!!! I know I have said that a lot! Thanks for reading! P.S DONT GET THIS STUPID GAME!

### 3/5 — It’s ok

*2024-05-26*

I downloaded this game cause I like virtual family, sim , 3D role playing games like these .. But … why lock the modes and levels ? It’s disappointing that you only reach so many then it all stops unless purchasing the whole game .. Another thing , it’s frustrating and ruins game play and interest when you got to watch so so many adds every time you push a button .. just to change levels , next mode , after every story line and then game play which is very little .. 
it would be great if it was open world and could do a lot more things in the game as a actual family .. without purchasing anything or the whole game …  I would love to see the rest of the game , without having to purchase the rest of the levels or modes and without so many ads .. These days all games are based on ad play it seems . And like every 10secs or every time you want to do something in the game ..  I wish to see more , but I’m not into purchasing the whole game , especially when I have to watch ads every 10secs.. and I can’t see what the whole game is either unless I purchase the game .. so it’s false advertising also .. especially showing the full game .. but you don’t get to see the full game unless paying $30 for it .. may as well go EB games .

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your feedback. We are working on it and in next update we try to provide best experience. We reduced ads in next update and unlock all modes. We always try to best quality to our users. Once again thank you so much  for providing such helpfull feedback.
