I have purchased most of there games, with I hadn't have bothered with this one. ### 2/5 — เสียใจ *2018-12-20, version 1.06* ค่ายนี้เกมฟรียังสนุก รักค่ายนี้มาก ซื้อเกิน50%ของเกมที่เขามีภาษาอังกฤษ อ่านหลายเม้นท์แล้วยังไม่เขื่อ อยากเล่น น่าสนใจ แต่พอเล่นแล้วก็เสียดายเงินเลย ไม่มีสอนเล่นอะไรเลย เปลี่ยนรูปแบบใหม่พอเข้าใจ แต่ไม่บอกอะไรเลย เข้าเกมมาก็ไม่มีอะไรทำแล้ว ไม่สนุกจริงๆ คิดซะว่าซื้อเพื่อสนับสนุนค่ายอย่างเดียวแล้วกัน รอเกมส์ใหม่เสมอ ### 1/5 — Décevant... *2018-09-21* Je me suis toujours régalée avec les jeux de Kairosoft, mais là j'aurais mieux fait de m'abstenir! Très peu de possibilités, pas de combos, pas de challenge (à part les trophées, mais c'est insignifiant). Bref, plus rien à voir avec leurs précédents titres qui me détendaient pendant des heures. Vu l'augmentation de leurs prix, il était normal de s'attendre au moins à la qualité habituelle. Mais non! Quelques euros de perdu... ### 1/5 — To be avoided *2018-09-08* I’ve got every kairosoft game available and this is the only one I played for about 15 minutes and got bored. Don’t bother with this one! ### 1/5 — Waste of your money *2018-08-30* Love kairosoft games but this one is way too simple, really let me down. Feel like they just released it to make some easy money. ### 1/5 — No Depth *2018-08-27* This is the most boring and lacklustre Kairo game I’ve played. There is absolutely no depth to this game and it gets boring within a couple of hours. Avoid. ### 2/5 — Disappointed *2018-08-26, version 1.06* It’s below of Kairosoft’ standard :( I stopped play it after trying for 3 mins. ### 2/5 — Pretty much just stare at the screen *2018-08-25* When I bought it, I expected that I’d have to actually do something in the game but it basically just runs itself and I just watch. Rarely, there is an event, seemingly just for the sake of it. Idk if I’m playing it wrong coz there wasn’t a proper tutorial.. ### 2/5 — I’m sorry to say this is not fun *2018-08-24, version 1.06* What wrong with you Kairo? This game is worst 😭 น่าเบื่อและ ไม่สนุก อย่ากดซื้อ ### 1/5 — I Own Most of These Games *2018-08-24* As someone who has bought I’d say 80% of their games. I was highly looking forward to this... it feels like Mega Mall, Biz Build and Pocket Cloth, And Beastie Bay all mangled together... with like no real parts that made THOSE fun. I like the idea. But the delivers, restocking, effect of purchases and such details that have been a BIG part of Kairo games before isn’t seen in this. It’s bare bones. And I want to love this game, but where’s the management aspect that all of us fans know and love? I don’t even know how much my product is gonna restock every two weeks... heck I had to figure out hat it was every two weeks... maybe even more! Please, fix this. I love these games so much. But this is worse than having to play BonBon and knowing that I have to delete the app to start over and that it’s not even gonna be as rewarding as sticking with that (BonBon) and more so compared to their classics. ### 2/5 — Uninspired *2018-08-19* Kairosoft is my FAVORITE app developer. That being said, this game is dull, boring, and totally uninspired. Not worth the purchase price, in my opinion. ### 2/5 — Not great *2018-08-19* This is the worst Kairosoft game I’ve downloaded. Usually have very high expectations from their games but this has not met them. It’s simply a case of order stock, hunt for treasure, appraise repeat. Have played for a few days now hoping something would be unlocked after some time was put in but to no avail. Nowhere near as good as Game Dev Sim or GP Story 1 and 2. ### 2/5 — Langweilig *2018-08-19* Wieder ein Titel mehr in der immer länger werdenden Liste der langweiligen Kairosoft-Spiele.....schade ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — これは… *2026-04-25* つまらない。100円の価値も感じません。 ### 1/5 — やられた‥ *2024-09-15* 評価見てから買えばよかった。カイロってたけで買っちゃった ### 1/5 — Boring *2019-01-15* I usually love kairosoft games and I noticed this one was newer and it looked promising. What a waste of money. Watching people buy stuff, you can’t really do anything with all the money you get but move to different shops and they all look the same. Super boring. Played for about a day to see if anything new happened. Nothing. I want my money back. ### 1/5 — Very Bad *2018-12-08* This is the worst kairosoft game ever made. So boring. It’s not just their worst game but a bad game overall. I feel absolutely ripped for paying that much for it. AVOID!!! ### 1/5 — Not happy Kairosoft *2018-11-30* What an absolute waste of money.. I usually get so excited about new kairosoft games and have bought almost all of them. This one is so disappointing.. I’ve actually been disappointed with most of the new releases. You basically do nothing in this game but waste time watching people buy stuff. It’s terrible, I feel like lately my money is wasted on kairosoft games now and will be much more careful in buying any new games.. before I would buy them no problem. I would love to see something similar to the dungeon game, station manager, or the sports themed games.. they are fun! ### 1/5 — Love Kairosoft... *2018-11-18* I love this company’s ideas so much and I was looking forward to this game so badly, but they missed the mark completely. The tutorial poorly explains the game and there’s little to no control over what happens. Everything from sales to finding items is random and it doesn’t completely make sense to me I’m super sad because I love economy/shop based games. Huge disappointment 😔 ### 1/5 — 카이로게임 다 해봤는데 역대급 스레기..... *2018-10-22* 진짜 대공원시리즈도 욕하면서도 다 했는데 이건 견줄바가 못됨 진짜 제일 최강 스레기 돈 아까움 ### 1/5 — This game is horrible *2018-10-12* Ok so I’ve only played like 5 minutes but I want my money back. Seriously kairosoft your games used to be awesome but now your a sellout company like all the other. Problems with the game: 1 theirs no tutorial so you have no dam clue on what’s going on. 2 you can’t move the camera. The cameras placed in an awkward position and it just really annoys me. Seriously don’t buy it its not worth your time or money ### 1/5 — No ending *2018-09-29* Just keeps going forever even map 8 and no conclusion. ### 1/5 — Awful *2018-09-22* One of the worst games they’ve made, can’t literally do anything other than sit there and watch people buy your stuff ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Amazing game! *2021-06-16* Tons of clothing to sell lots of shops to unlock and amazing story! It’s worth getting it’s not boring at all! ### 5/5 — Good and EASY *2021-06-07* I love Kairosoft but sometimes I can’t understand everything in them. This game is like a typical Kairo game but SO much easier. A great introduction to their more complicated games. Give it a try! I had fun playing it on a lazy Sunday and you will too. ### 5/5 — Great!!! *2019-04-13* This is actually a great one! simpler system, but requires more techniques to play well. The simulated rules of a store are much more real. I played most of their games and love this one too. ### 5/5 — Not a five star game *2018-09-06* So why am I giving it five stars? Because it’s not a one or two star game like all the bad reviews are saying. I bought it despite the negative reviews and while this isn’t as packed with the usual features and is a bit slower than Cruise ship or mega mall, it’s not a terrible game. I’d give this game a 3-4. It’s good, it’s a nice pay once and play time waster. I think they would have done better to put the price at $2.99 instead, but at the same time I’m not regretting my purchase. If you manage your expectations of this game knowing it’s not the best kairo game out there you will likely enjoy it anyway. ### 5/5 — จัดอย่างรวดเร็ว *2018-08-10, version 1.06* เป็นครั้งแรกที่ลองซื้อแบบตอนออกใหม่ทันที ปกติชอบซื้อตอนลดราคา ไม่รู้จะสนุกมั้ย ขอลองเล่นก่อนน้าาาา ### 4/5 — A More Mature Game *2019-05-22* Don’t let some of the more negative reviews fool you: this game really isn’t that bad. It’s just more focused on points and numbers rather than customization. If you want a chill game that focuses on item inventory and general foods, this is it. The game, like most of Kairosoft games, is a little slow to pick up at first. But my tip is to read the “Help” section! Always read it before playing! It explains so much and you’ll figure out how to play and what matters and why. After that, it’s pretty simple and fun. It’s satisfying leveling up groups of items and adjusting your inventory. Exploring new towns and finding new items is also fun too. There is not a lot of customization in this game. It is similar to Pocket Clothier in the sense that you can put shelves, but only in specific places and you can’t determine what goes where. Similar to a real thrift store, things are just placed where there is space. This doesn’t take away from the fun of the game though. The camera doesn’t move as well, which seems annoying when you have a small store but it is helpful when you expand to a larger store. For the price, it’s a pretty fun game. A more “mature” game, considering it’s focus is more on inventory and profits, but enjoyable if you like management sims. If you’re looking for a fully customizable shop game where you can pick the wallpaper, look elsewhere though. 4/5 stars. ### 4/5 — Gets Boring Fast *2018-10-16* Simulation Is Pretty Much The Same Thing Over And Over Again, While You Get Better But This Just Isn’t Fun! But I Don't Think The Next Game Will Be As Bad Is This One Cuz a lot Of Things Have Gotten Worst On 2018 And I Don't Want Kairosoft Included In The List So I Played The Game And I Deleted It In 3 Days It’s Was Just Boring Just Get The Game And You See What I Mean If I Made Any Sense ### 4/5 — Eh.. *2018-08-11* This isn’t a negative review at all but.. it does get fairly boring from the lack of.. I dunno.. extra stuff? Like research etc etc like the other kairo games. It’s crazy fun though. I’m not super far in but I’m enjoying it thus far. Maybe there is research or something :p I am just glad it’s not another f2p game. ### 4/5 — カイロの価値 *2016-10-03, version 1.00* このゲームが100円なら、カイロのブランドはそれ程傷つかない。ブランドを対価とした価値戦略ととらえられると明らかにマイナス。積み重ねてきたブランド力と今の経営戦略がマッチしないと消費者ひいて制作者の期待と結果の悲劇が生まれる。 ### 3/5 — A bit boring *2020-08-15, version 1.06* Not the most fun game. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
