Just started but…

I already LOVE it! It’s so unique with its concept among all other apps I’ve played on iOS, yet very interesting as well as realistic with the investments you get to decide to make, board member decisions, and executive challenges to your growing companies, for instance. I will definitely continue to play and recommend to friends. It’s hard to find truly good apps that hold my interest - nearly all are some kind of match 3 game, decorating, or mix of the two. I like simulation games where you feel like you’re truly making important decisions that matter. I haven’t come across any pay to play features - yet. I only just reached level three. I’m hoping it stays this way, although it’s understandable the developers need to make money and I wouldn’t mind paying for a subscription or something with additional features (just nothing that features a million different “exclusive sales!” at once and begins to micro charge you constantly just to play and get through things!).

I’m not crazy about are merging in order to meet production demands. I’ve never liked merging games, but that’s really the only element of the game I don’t enjoy. My only recommendation to the developers would be to not ALWAYS have your decision win out in the board voting. I understand that it wants you to make the choice to be responsible for the outcome, positive or negative. But it makes it much less interesting and unrealistic for your decision to always win. Maybe if you vote too often against the other two board members (when the ideas they choose increase the company’s worth) you could end up being penalized in some very minor sense (like losing a very small portion of your stake in the company, as just one example).

But those are only suggestions for improvement what I already feel is a five star game! Keep up the great work!

Bring back the beta feature to grow company by running weekly basis

That was a cool feature !

Asset List

I think being able to see what assets you still need to get would be extremely helpful, also production line gets really crowded when you have multiple business types, I also have extra “cross production items” that I have not been able to use at all, not sure why options to use those don’t come up, doesn’t make much sense. Otherwise, intriguing game.

Lots of fun but items for launch company are missing

Can we get the marketplace filled more so we can actually launch companies?

Nice

Not to bad

This is is Great it would be better if you made money faster, not just having to wait hours. But game is better then I thought, Good Job Devs

Good game!

Good game! Fun! Probably the best investment app game I’ve found so far! Takes a bit but not too bad and there’s almost no ads! Fun little match game but the board meetings and being in charge of company’s is the best! Wish there was a little more diversity with the companies and more to choose from but other than that no notes!

Fair and balanced

First off, you’ll only see an ad if you choose to, and they’re never necessary to advance in the game.

You only get to do a handful of actions every 4-5 hours, which I’m fine with. As you expand into managing several businesses, you’ll appreciate that part of the game more and more. At least it doesn’t feel like a full on virtual job like other games do.

I haven’t gotten to see all there is to the game yet, and I have made mistakes that costed me a day of collecting cash instead of progressing, but I think it has great potential as long as the developer(s) continue to ad new features to it and won’t consider turning it into a pay to win advertisement spammer

Questions

Love the game and excited for how it will grow. BUT I am currently trying to figure it out mechanics wise, are we limited to four businesses of the same industry? Like I would like to make more than 4 eco businesses but it seems none of investment opportunities seem to be eco anymore.

What a game

Is is such a good game and the best part is this doesn’t have any ads m addictive to this

Fun but please fix production part

Honestly keeps my interest and like it’s just a couple min and can walk away for a couple hours. The production part needs to be fixed though … agree with other reviews, maybe a mini game where you’d hire a manager to do those parts. Concept of this game is great with exception of production line

Waiting game

I rally like the concept of the game, and i will keep playing it, but it seems like “playing” the game is doing a few actions and then waiting about two or three hours to open it back up do two or three more actions and then close it again. I think it would be more fun if it had a faster pace; at least early on. the progression is slow and drawn out. That being said, the progression concept is what draws me to the game. The idea of managing and owning businesses.

Great Game!

I love this game but can we get rid of the production line and swap it with something more realistic like the board meeting and exec challenge! I get why it’s there and it helps intrigue paying for Diamonds and energy but I would be more inclined to pay for things if the game still kept the simulation feel to it.

Love It

No ads.. fun aspects.. challenging but not impossible. Good game!!

Production Line

This looks like a lot of fun- but the production line makes me want to delete the app immediately. So so until they get rid of this part.

Remove the Production Line and You’ll Have a Perfect Game

I love this game. It’s fun, well thought out, and engaging. But the production line really bogs the overall product down. I end up wanting to just neglect that aspect of the game. Otherwise, this has the potential to be THE business simulation game. I still want to give it 5 stars to get other players in the door.

Great Game, But the Production Line Feature Drags It Down

I really enjoy this game, it’s fun and addictive. But having to manually operate the production line gets repetitive and exhausting over time. I wish there were an option to hire employees or remove that feature entirely. It would make the experience smoother and more enjoyable.
