Terrible

The game is so bad so many adds once you get to a point you can’t even play because it makes you buy things it is so annoying. Should have listened to the reviews. Never playing any of your games again.

Complete money grab

In addition to having to wait just to play the game, if you run out of money just setting up the company like I did, you either have to hope that you can get enough credit to cover it but if not, you have to spend real money to progress. Like everyone said, the game had great potential but the devs did a really terrible job of executing it. If you didn’t come into this game expecting to spend money then don’t even bother downloading it.

The Ads are ridiculous

The game is extremely predatory with the ads and ridiculous fees. Complete cash grab! With that being said it has potential but it is unplayable if you don’t plan on spending money

Wow

I would’ve gave this a 0.1 star if I could because I see what type of people we are dealing with now. Just money grabbers. The story would’ve been good but if I have to pay and wait then no

can’t play long before you have to pay to get anywhere

Literally can’t play long before you have to pay to get anywhere

Too ad and cost heavy

They got me to pay $5 to play for a week then charge you by the minute after that. Sort of insane.

Too many ads

The game is plagued by ads. It is a literal billboard. It’s annoying.

Okay

It is a good concept but has too many adds and it is hard to get through the game

Waste of time even trying

It is a walkthrough where you make choices on which products to buy. After only about two minutes, it tells you that you cannot continue for an hour unless you watch five ads or pay a membership. After about three times doing this, it won’t let you continue without paying regardless of how long you wait. They just want money!

This game is a mistake

The game was interesting at first but for no reason you would have to pay real money because u are not given enough capital from the beginning
It doesn’t with my time

Игра полный провал 🤬

Pay to play game

The amount of ads u want to watch us just few in game bucks is absurd! It’s not possible to play without purchasing.

Garbage app not even a game

Imagine being such a bad app that after buying fake reviews you still can’t keep the rating up due to real people for see and commenting on how bad the app is.

Worst thing ever ads everywhere

How can u make it so annoying that a person cannot even try a game , unless he pays or something , ads every 30 seconds , hope everyone involved finds shame

Trash

Absolute trash game. There are seriously ads one per minute of play nearly. It’s incessant. Then you get to a point where they offer you premium which is charged per week something like 5 or 6 dollars which I assume removes ads but I kind of doubt that as it wasn’t explicitly stated. Either way that’s a ridiculous amount for this awful clicker game. It is not worth your time at all and this company is garbage

Too much ADS

Its not a game , there’s only ADS

Lawda

Too many ads have to see 5 ads to play

AD SPAM DO NOT PLAY

TL;DR I played the tutorial for less than 4 minutes and had 3 separate 20-30 second ads forced on me.

Do not be fooled with the 20k fake reviews. This game is bottom of the barrel for what it is already, but then you start the game and there are about 60-90 un-skippable dialogue boxes which you think are the tutorial, but every time you click through about 10 boxes you get a 10-40 second unskippable ad.

This game might’ve been semi-enjoyable for bottom of the barrel, but this is atrocious ad bait and honestly the worst i’ve EVER seen in any game ever. Most idle games will incorporate ad mechanics to get rewards but it’s always a CHOICE. NOT FORCED. I could even deal with a forced ad once every 20-30 minutes, that i could play through, but 3 ads in less than 4 minutes of playing the game? Where was this made? China?

Confusing Cash Grab

I love the concept, but I fear that its not making the impact the developers aimed for. A scrolling dialogue that gives you a series of choices impacting your building of a new business has been utterly limited by the pay-to-play concept that is not as advertised. Maybe its user error, but I’ve had to restart multiple times due to running into a paywall regardless of having plenty of in-game funds. I’m a free-to-play fiend and I will pour my entire being into a game if I think I can remotely compete without putting my hard earned money into it. This game is unplayable, cut off at the knees by what is inevitably a cash grab that ruins all of the fun the developers worked so hard to synthesize. I took away a star for my review for every time I had to reset my progress due to paywalls that ignore the game mechanics a consumer would expect (WHY MY MONEY NO WORK?).
