Community Insight:
But u need to add closing some tabs we have played the game for like 2 hours and we had to close the app like 30 times because we couldnt cancel out of some stuff so please fix so we can make this a 5 star.
Currently addicted. BUT: – Would love to have the option to go longer than 30 days. Tryna build that EMPPIIIRRRREEEEE. Maybe an in-app purchase? ;) – inventory page +/-25 is only programmed as 1 currently. – systemwide dark mode needs light text at bottom – need a x cancel button on buy/sell page – need a x cancel button on travel page.
Really like the game just get stuck in parts of the interface not being able to cancel or back out :(.
We were looking for a game like this, however, theres a few features Id add – cancel out of the trade window – cancel out of the high score window – show your current inventory and bank balance on the trade window Its annoying that youre stuck buying or selling something when all you want to do is cancel and go back. Instead youre forced to close out the game and go back in to resume.
We like playing the game, but there are a lot of issues. 1. Closing tabs, tons of menus dont have an option to cancel so if you want to leave it you have to close the game. 2. Apparently this game takes place in a lawless dystopia because your truck or whatever gets hijacked every 3 seconds and you lose half of your inventory which is worth a huge chunk of your overall money usually. 3. Each location has one commodity they dont trade, but there is nothing to let you know what it is until you go there. So you just have to go off of memorizing what commodity doesnt trade where so you dont get shafted by the game and be forced to waste a day to go somewhere else.
Would have been a good game but you cant back out of any menus so youre just stuck.
Game is missing a lot of features you would expect from a clone like this. No way to back out if choices,forcing you to quit the game and go back. Cant play in dark mode. Impossible to lose. The bad things that happen arent enough to cause you any issues. Will most likely look for another, better developed version of this game.
You can't see how to move around from town to town when you have system dark mode enabled..it renders the game useless.
Man we love the concept! Reminds us of playing drug wars on our ti-86 during Geometry class. Unfortunately the execution on this one is awful/borderline scam. Forget playing an entire game. Youll most likely get stuck in some window that you cant back out of. Whether its because you clicked on a commodity and didnt have enough money to spend or even just checking the leaderboard, theres no way to continue playing but to delete the app and start over. The reason we believe this to be a scam is that we paid the .99 for ad free playing and yet the ads continued… We wish this was great! Theyd probably milk a lot more money out of us if it was but its not. Very terrible.
Add a button to cancel out of the buy and sell menus so we can actually play the game.
Definitely need to get a cancel out button for when buying things and etc.
Gets stuck on screens requiring reset- finally just erased it.
Just what we were looking for…wish they would add more items and add in different game durations so you can play longer.
Great game. Simple and easy but fun. Just needs the option to have longer games like 60 days. Also the option to put money in the bank for interest. We hope they add more options.
Paid to remove ads, it removed one banner at the bottom of the starting screen. Still has ads after the end of each game. Bogus.
This game is a cheap ripoff of drug wars.
