★★★★★ Super awesome game, buuuuut
Fri Nov 29 2024 Mr BroskyOkay, so this IS a fun game. A super fun game. And very addicting. I find it cool that I can marine the product of a game I have made. But a couple of little things can get this to be not so awesome at times, When they don’t need to be, so here’s the review.
Just to get started, this isn’t like most of the simulators on the App Store, and couldn’t really be considered that it’s that much of that type of game besides the fact that it is a simulator. It is a fun game, and not terribly hard to get started good, but try not to rush into games directly if you’re reading this to get this game. There are lots of options for lots of things. Advertising, training, employees, and the goes and genres of your games once you build your collection up. Now the bad stuff :). So, this has a few problems, and lacking things, but I think the developers can fix this if they truly want to. My FAVORITE one of these is the fact that every time you have an incredibly good game and about 40%, then suddenly, either an ‘equipment failure’ or a ‘blackout’ in which you lose ‘some points,’ but you actually lose about 60 from each and I think this is FAR too common and FAR too powerful. There are not enough options for contracts. There should be an option to delay a game that would perhaps make you lose some fans but you get to fix your issue AND it would fix the problem too.
Otherwise, this is a great game and I think the developers should continue to add to the game to make it even better.
★★★★★ Very fun with one little note
Tue Sep 10 2024 CheesygThis is honestly a pretty fun game for a mobile. I’ve already completed two 20 year runs and will likely do it a third time because there’s still opportunity to do even better the next time with what I learned the last two times through. I also appreciate that the aesthetic changes you buy with bananas carry over (even if you have to wait until you make it to a bigger office for some of them).
Speaking of the bananas, however, I have had some trouble with getting the quests to actually go through. More than once now I’ve done what the quest says (release a game of a specific type) and it hasn’t delivered the bananas. I’ve tried it both in developing and releasing a new game and a sequel. A couple of times it’s acknowledged it maybe the next time I loaded in and said that it had delays (accidents, traffic jams, etc.). I wish there was some sort of acknowledgment to say that you completed it and they’re on their way, but whether it recognizes you’ve completed it or not, the “confirm quest” button just reiterates what the quest is asking for. Even when I have completed the quest and later get bananas delivered, it doesn’t acknowledge the quest as complete.
This is really just a minor side detail and doesn’t impact gameplay which is why I’m still giving this game 5⭐️ because the game itself is a pretty fun one and you can experiment with different combinations and directions.
★★★★★ Very fun!
Tue Jul 20 2021 xcredenceThe basic premise involves choosing a platform, a genre, and a thematic category for the game. The development process is broken up into three phases, Story-writing, Graphics, and Sound. It takes the basic premises described above and pile on a ton of strategic elements that really make the game a joy to play from a management standpoint. Outside of improving individual employees, each individual aspect of development has its own experience/level that can be developed, as your team becomes more experienced. A lot of the fun involves balancing making games, with training, with research while making sure there’s enough money until the next big hit. There’s also a very strong appeal to wanting to “make just one more game” or making new engines just to experiment with how new features impact sales. I had no issues with the basic control scheme, if the game hooks you in as it did with me, make sure you allocate enough time for play. It’s the perfect sort of game for mobile devices and there’s so much to do here in terms of developing personnel, researching items, and making games that there’s loads of replayability for quite a long time.
★★★★★ Loads of Fun But Could Use Tweaks
Mon Dec 05 2022 JaremoI’ve played this game for many weeks, and I have to say it has a hard learning curve. There was a lack of direction at first and I wasn’t sure what some of the various stats of my characters actually accomplished. After trial and error, however, I began to find my success with the game, and grew a sudden appreciation for the challenge. It took time, but I got there.
I enjoy the game for its simple complexity and its progression. The concept is fun and engaging. The moments I have where something clicks and I find ways to advance my company’s progress is exciting to experience. I just wish there were better instructions about the game. Sometimes I wish I could click on character stats and get details about it, or understand if some of the job titles of characters matter at times or not (for example, I have characters who have higher stats in sound than my sound engineer. Does them being a sound engineer carry more weight than the fact that their stat is lower? If not, should it?). I know there is a ‘manual’, but it’s 29 pages of short messages. Kind of clunky and vague at times because of the format.
Overall, the game is fun, but can be challenging at first. Don’t give up, and try not to browse the web for quick answers. Makes the grind worth it.
★★★★★ Good game buuuuuut…
Thu May 12 2022 tandamtomato230I mean game D story is a pretty good game and I would give it five stars but once you make a console, make a game that sells over 10millon copy’s and get the best game in the world reward you sort of run out of things to do.
For example the game has random scenarios and events that take place but they don’t have long lasting effect and there is no way to lose the game like I once was 1.5 millon dollars in debt but I was able to finish my current game and I was back on track. Also it might be hard to get the best game in the world thing but once you have a really good series of games going you might lose some fans from doing the same type over and over again but once you release the game you get twice as many back and you double your money. The ability to edit your office is nice but it doesn’t have the same appeal as other games skins and stuff has. Also once you do twenty in game years and your high score is no longer recorded and what not there is no point in restarting from scratch because you have come so far and there is nothing new that is going to happen. The game is very addicting and I was hooked for a good week trying to complete every thing possible but once there you don’t have that same appeal to keep playing as other games.
I really hope that the dev.’s read this because the game has a lot of potential because you get hooked easily but there is no levels of difficulty like maybe add difficulties like easy medium and hard and one each difficulty add somthing new like taxes or rivil companies or having to acctually manage shipping of games or the ability to do partnerships with companies. Whatever you guys do I know that I’ll be there playing
★★★★★ The concept is fun but the end game is garbage.
Mon Jul 12 2021 BladeMeDoItThe game is fun up until you understand how to play the game and/or get to the end game and depending on how good you are at the game that could be in a hours time. Once you get to the end game and start cranking out “Hall of Fame” games consistently there’s no real challenge or reason to keep playing. In fact once you start making Hall of Fame games it becomes more of a challenge to not make a game that goes into the HoF. And once you get to a certain point money becomes a non factor because there’s nothing to buy. You are just making money with nothing to really spend it on.
All of That being said the real end goal is to make a “Game of the Year” game and that seems almost impossible. I have made 29 straight “Hall of Fame” Games, 15 straight games that have scored a perfect 40 rating all of which have made #1 on the top sales chart and I have yet to make a game that has gotten “Game of the year” instead the award is constantly given to a game with a name that’s a pun to a real world game. At a certain point it just felt like the game was against me and even if I would “beat” the game it just feels like it would have no substance to it.
This game has potential to be addicting and great but it just falls on its face toward the back end when it should be more challenging and rewarding.
★★★★★ This game is great. But I’ve encountered a bug.
Thu Jul 28 2022 Choco Cat 😺Okay, so first things first, this game is awesome. I enjoy the art and the concept. I am addicted and I love your company. But, I’ve found a bug that makes my experience frustrating.
So, I constantly save my progress, so I don’t have to start all over, right? And every time I decide to close the app, I make sure to save my game, and everything’s fine after that. But after I open the app to play again, I click “continue” and I click my save that I’ve saved earlier, and I’m back at the original office! This has happened 5 times, and each time I start over and say, “It’ll be fine, I’m a master of this game”. But this is time I was frustrated. I had hired a hacker, had 30 million in the bank, I had upgraded to the biggest office you can get, and I was working on my own console! All my other games I had saved didn’t get this far, and I was very disappointed in your game after I’ve been playing it for a year and had a nice experience.
Yes, the app is updated to its most recent version, and my device is too. Please fix this bug so I can continue enjoying your app. Thank you.
★★★★★ Pretty good with little complaint.
Mon Sep 26 2022 AlrightJeffThis game has been a good way to kill time. It is enjoyable even if a bit repetitious. The concept and execution are wonderfully done for a simple sim game, although I would have appreciated a better explanation of the stats/jobs. I appreciate the silly names for about everything from your employees to the gaming industry products. The release of consoles in game feels like a pretty good reflection of what we had in reality from the PC through some VR game systems. I even felt a bit of reality nudge when making games for systems whose real world analog failed. Not sure if it’s on purpose but when changing jobs the game won’t let me chose certain options, even when the character already has the job available. The same people always show up for interviews. I wouldn’t call them complaints but my only issue was with the game leaving you questionable options from hiring “booth babes” to being able to make games like “dating shooter”. A tiny bit of thought there wouldn’t hurt. Overall I’ll keep it on my phone to play more.
