Can you start with a small online store and build a global business empire? E-Commerce Life Simulator is a business game where every decision shapes the future of your company. Discover products, find suppliers, manage inventory, create marketing campaigns, process customer orders and turn a small e-commerce startup into a powerful international brand. This is more than a simple store simulator. You control every part of the company, from your first product to your biggest warehouse. Choose what to sell, decide how much stock to order, set your business strategy and find new ways to increase your profits. START YOUR BUSINESS LIFE Create your company and begin your journey as a new entrepreneur. You may start with limited money and a small operation, but every successful order brings you closer to becoming a business tycoon. Research the market, study customer demand and discover products with high sales potential. Some products may create fast profits, while others may become expensive mistakes. Make smart decisions and build a business that can survive changing market conditions. BUILD AND MANAGE YOUR STORE Choose products, create your online store and start selling to customers. Upgrade your store as your company grows and unlock new business opportunities. Manage prices, product demand and customer expectations. Keep your bestselling products available while avoiding unnecessary inventory costs. A successful store requires more than sales—it requires planning, timing and smart management. DISCOVER WINNING PRODUCTS Explore different product categories and search for your next bestseller. Compare product costs, demand, competition and possible profit margins before investing your money. Not every product will become successful. Follow market trends, take calculated risks and create a product strategy that helps your company grow. RUN MARKETING CAMPAIGNS Create social media campaigns, send promotional emails and use different marketing channels to reach new customers. Test campaigns, study their performance and invest in the strategies that generate the most sales. A successful marketing campaign can transform an unknown product into a bestseller, but spending money without a plan can quickly reduce your profits. MANAGE ORDERS AND CUSTOMERS Process customer orders, prepare deliveries and make sure products arrive on time. Happy customers can help your company grow, while delays and poor service can create negative reviews. Respond to customer feedback, improve your service quality and build a trusted e-commerce brand. CONTROL YOUR INVENTORY Keep track of every product stored in your warehouse. Avoid running out of popular items and do not waste your budget on products that are not selling. Expand your warehouse, increase storage capacity and improve inventory efficiency as your order volume grows. GROW YOUR COMPANY Upgrade your office, unlock new departments and hire employees to support your operations. Build a team that can handle product research, marketing, customer support, logistics and financial management. Your role changes as your business expands. You begin by managing every task yourself, but eventually you must think like a real boss and make decisions that affect the entire company.

Everyone thinks they could run a company. Here's your chance to find out — usually in under ten minutes. CEO Tycoon: Don't Get Fired is a pixel-art decision game about the job everybody assumes they'd be good at. Every day drops a stack of memos on your desk, and none of them have a clean answer. Pick fast. The board is watching the same four numbers you are. A DAY AT THE TOP - Read the memo, pick a side. There's rarely a right answer, only a bill that arrives later. - Four numbers judge everything you do: cash, board trust, team morale and the stock price. - Every call comes with a receipt, so you see exactly what it cost. - When you close the day, the market closes with it. Even a quiet day costs money. - Duck a decision and it doesn't go away. It comes back older, and it brings friends. FOUR INDUSTRIES, FOUR KINDS OF TROUBLE Run a tech startup, an airline, a restaurant or a drug company. Burn rates and breaches, grounded fleets and unions, health inspectors and one viral review, clinical trials and pricing scandals. Same rules, very different disasters. A COMPANY WITH A PULSE Walk the headquarters floor and watch your decisions show up in the room. When morale and results are good, desks fill up. When they slide, people drift to the lobby. THE BOARD REMEMBERS Lose their trust and you're walked out with a cardboard box. Burn through the cash and the company folds around you. Either way you get the post-mortem: how many days you lasted, and the decision that finished you. IT'S A CAREER, NOT A RUN Getting fired isn't the end — it's a line on your record. Every company hands you a mandate with real targets: reach the deadline with the cash, the trust and the morale to show for it. Hit them and the badge is permanent. Miss them and your contract quietly ends. Then two new companies land on the table, and you choose whose mess to inherit. MAKE IT. FRAME IT. Earn thirty collectible achievement posters, from your first call to the Triple Crown, and hang your favorite on the corner-office wall. RUN IT YOUR WAY - Eleven executives to be, from a steady owl to a wolf nobody has ever asked to repeat itself. - Your CEO's face changes with the quarter. So do the four animals on the board. - Want a new face at the top? Hire a new CEO with company cash, or for free after every mandate you complete. - Build out the corner office with desk pieces you arrange yourself, and staff the HQ floor with new hires. - 8-bit art throughout, and a synthwave soundtrack that shifts when the pressure does. MADE FOR IPHONE DUO Unfold it and the memo sits right beside your desk, with the HQ floor and your office side by side. Fold it and the same day carries on on the outer screen, mid-decision. Portrait or landscape, the game follows you. NO ADS. NO TIMERS. NO ENERGY BARS. Optional cosmetic packs are permanent, one-time purchases, and not one of them touches the game. The entire career is playable without spending anything. Requires an internet connection — your career lives on the server, so it survives closing the app. Sign in with Apple, optionally, and it survives a new phone too.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: CEO Tycoon at none against E's shown. E's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
