Community Insight:
Hey its been a few years could you add more content? Like modern day consoles like the ps5 and switch 2.
This is probably the magnum opus of all of the games that Kairosoft has made the others are good but this one is arguably the best in detail, gameplay, and all around entertainment.
Didnt think Id get addicted, ended up 2 am run and still going. Give it a try, dont give up. The world is yours for the taking . Be the next big thing.
Just needs more stuff to do besides creat games just more things to do in the game.
We got pretty hooked quick. We were bored and this definitely helped pass the time. We do tend to find ourselves falling asleep playing it, but that just means we stay up to late playing. Great game.
Fun, cute, and addictive. What more could you ask for.
This game is really addicting. We downloaded it a couple weeks ago and still cant stop playing.
1st time player. Surprised the game is old and is still so fun to play.
Nice way to kill some time and not have to over think but with good pacing.
Mastering compounding is tough but fair. Game is addictive to result driven people.
Love this game can spend hours on it. We do wish there were more levels, categories, customization, without changing the simplicity of the game play. We love how easy it is to play and get the hang of. We find some other games from this company are hard to control or understand.
Once you get the hang of the mechanics and learning what genre and types go together well its actually so addicting.
So much fun learning what combinations of games do well. We highly recommend if you like strategy games.
Such a fun game to play throughout the day. Am hooked.
This game will keep you hooked for hours. Easily the best sim game on the App Store.
We are obsessed with this game. Cant stop playing. Wish every simulation game was like this. Should make more of cooking like restaurant dev story.
Simple to learn, easy to play, yet surprisingly addicting.
Its such a fun and addicting little idle game and we love it to pass time.
Its been an original and this is something that would be cool to do in real life.
We really enjoy playing this game in our free time and is very addicting to play.
Im here because we won the grand prize! It was sketchy in the beginning times were tough and we wasnt sure wed make it here but now were at the top.
Our boyfriend first found this game when we both got Apple Arcade and he showed it to us. We both installed and played for HOURS, both talking about our success and failure along the way. We had such a great time playing this game from day one. What an outstanding game even for it being several years old. We have already looked into the next few games we plan to buy from this company. Thank you for the fun times.
Our adhd likes this when Im supposed to be working.
Surprisingly fun, slow paced, decision based simulator thats plenty of fun to spend hours or minutes on. Definitely recommend.
Its a good way to waste time , and surprisingly entertaining.
Amazing game!!! So addictive because of the challenges and rewards. Go to game with any downtime. 5 stars.
It took 32 years and a budget of 500M to win grand prize.
We absolutely enjoyed this game and love playing it when bored or home alone its so fun and we hope you guys add more of your games to the arcade.
Love this development company, their games always blend 8 bit graphics with simple character progression and resource management.
We play on our down time and just love funny names here and there, trying out new game genres to find what works. The award ceremony always has us anxious if we won or not.
This is one of our favorite games to passively grind.
Kairo soft games always can make us so happy, they are really the best game developers.
Our favorite mobile game of all time.
Good time sink when bored. Easy to get hooked.
Best game Ive played on the IPhone but we want more!!! Please update and add some cool stuff.
Ive played this game so many times it never gets old but this version seems longer which is GREAT.
This game is so good and never leaves us bored. We took a break for a while and came back forgetting how good and fun this game is.
Really engrossing game, and its cute and funny.
This game is quite addicting!! So addictive that we kept going till we won the Grand Prize.
This game is absolutely amazing! We love learning a better strategy for our next game play and try to beat our records! Thank you for having this on the Apple Arcade.
As the kids say. This game is the bees knees.
We figured why not leave a review.
>Load up the game >Make a absolute masterpiece of a game >Name it Geeked out sigma >Get game of the year.
If you have Apple Arcade and like Sim/Management games, go for it.
Just a simple fun game to kill time. Played it way back in the day and still find it enjoyable now as a way to kill some time when needed.
This game is a complete W, wish they would update and add content tho.
Its really good for people with anger issues and helps you gain ideas and calms you down.
We find this game very fun it pulls you in and has decent amount of content.
