Community Insight:
Just fun to watch things grow in our free time. Addictive.
This is a very interesting game.
Its a fun game we were able to get lots of money, gold from the alchemy machines, but why was New York 100k? New York was the same price as Montreal. We feel like thats a glitch. So maybe make New York 2 Million. And maybe you could add a machine that boost everyones happiness even though some people dont want it. We really recommend this app.
We have played this game over the years and we still love it.
Love this game. Cant wait to see whats in store for it.
We liked this game at first, but at a certain point it lost its ability to be engaging. Its good for people who like slow games, but for people like us who want a challenge and constantly want a changing game, this isnt the one for you. At a certain point, we had everything we needed and just waited for the game to be released, made a new one, and repeat. Every time we changed offices it changed for a little and we got to do stuff, but ultimately, we got bored after two days of playing it, it is however one of the better tycoon games on the iPhone.
Waste of time Go to the desk and make somthing. That is better than play this.
Keep deleting our review and Ill just keep writing it! The game used to be fun. It used to be fun to set up an office and progress using strategy with which tables to buy and which training for your workers to purchase. Part of that strategy involved buying gold making machines. Because obviously like most games everything thats good costs gold. The machines used to make 15 gold per day. Now? Since the last update? Since the games gotten old and the developer is looking to make a few dollars before abandoning it? 4! It makes 4! Makes the game totally useless and impossible. The developer was hoping users would purchase gold from the store, looking to make money off of a game thats been on the store for years and stopped turning a profit long ago. If your game is a burden on your bottom line, abandon it. Let us play it for as long as apples iOS updates will allow us. But dont rework the game to make it a money trap and then put it up on the store for free to sucker users. Thats dishonest and wrong. We played your game for almost 2 years. We loved it, we really did. Id play for hours on end. But you ruined it, and we havent played one second since then. You used to be a gem on the App Store, but you got greedy and showed your true colors. Dont be a coward and delete our review again because we will only leave another and another and another. Let users learn about what you did. Let them learn that this used to be an incredibly fun game, and can still be a fun game if they are willing to pay money. If theyre not, then forget it, they wont be able to survive the games levels. Let them decide for themselves. But dont be a coward.
We did not buy this game but someone got into our account and bought this game so we change our password and everything we want our money back now.
Ive only been playing this came for a couple of days and we really enjoy and we actually think it have helped us on decision making like when it asks do we want to fire somebody originally we say yes but now we realize what it could do to a business. We do think they should do a little tour of where and what buttons to use at the beginning but overall we love this game.
We originally played this game when we were like 10. And we found it again.
Not to much to it but find fine ourselves consistently playing it. It could get addictive.
This game plays like a beta version of a game – its a fun premise but theres a fair number of bugs and the balance is off. The text is not proper English (seems written by a non-native speaker). The end-game is pretty blah, too. With some good playtesting and bug squashing, this could be a very fun game though.
We like the game so far to pass time but we went to buy gold and it would not let us but says we purchased the gold so we went to apple support and it took us to the developer website and there is no where in game where we restore the amount if needed.
The game asked to be a rate, so we are writing. The game doesnt make a whole lot of sense, and there doesnt seem to be a lot to do You hit cryptic buttons, hire people, and slowly lose in-game money. We guess after you lose all your in-game money, youre supposed to buy more money with an in app purchase, but we cant imagine why we would want to do that. Nothing seems to make any sense, and we cant tell if or why this is supposed to be fun.
Its such a fun game, and Im so happy that its been updated. The gameplay is quite simple and easy to understand, yet so entrancing. It IS possible to win without paying money. Love this and highly recommend it.
We started with the free version and we were totally addicted. We loved finally getting a free fun game that didn't have ad popups every five seconds or begging to buy their preimium "gold" for actual money. We were so pleased with not being hassled that we bought the game to support more free games that let you try before you buy. Thanks guys and keep up the great work.
Love this game! Tried to share it with a friend but it needs updated! Please update the app.
Being a business owner we can truly relate to this game. Could use some improvements but Rome wasn't built in a day.
Was worried at first but Noah am getting the hang. Not sure why it's costly to do hackathons. Guess we'll never know what they entail.
Cute and fun for making time fly by.
Wow this game was well thought out we hope the next one is free though.
We love this game with its time management style and the hack hackathons are real fun. This app is a must get.
It's a fun game to play without being to complex.
At first we thought this might get monotonous but it's actually really hard to put down! We appreciate the multi-step choose menus as we think that's key to keeping interest. Strange but fun! A few little bugs as mentioned by others but nothing that really takes away.
Nice and funny. Gets a little bit boring after reaching high levels. Pros You don't really need to donate money Cons Repetitive.
This is a very fun game. It has a couple bugs but they don't take away from the experience and are not annoying. If anything the bugs make the game more fun. Great app.
We love it!!! The only prob, Its too addicting.
Repetitive but fun once you get the hang of it. Sounds strange but it made us feel what a good boss must feel like and leaves us with the questions what do you do next when you are rich and reach you're goal in life? Why do we work so hard? Kinda deep in its own way.
This game is awesome, but it ends too quickly tough.
We liked the game a lot. Kept us busy and it didn't get boring. It was repetitive but if that's your cup of tea then this is the game for you. There were a few glitches but nothing too bad.
It will keep you interested for awhile.. Still could be better… Ironic.
Didn't expect to be so into this game. Super fun and great strategy gaming.
Good game to pass time with. Just some minor issues and the way to succeed is vague.
We like it in general but we would like it more if the graphic level was higher.
All in all, we love this game! We only wish you guys made it longer.
A fun game. The only issue we had was the game freezing on us when it transitions from one day to the next. Otherwise it's great.
The only thing this could use is a bit more polish in terms of the interface (less stock icons, permanent tutorial dismissal, and clarity of icons).
This game is certainly not polished, but we find it addictive and a great way to pass time. Wish the swipes weren't so clunky. It's a great concept for a game and fun the first couple times; try it, it's fun.
It's OK. Saw some possible scenarios that might occur in running an office. Got monotonous, though. Also, a lot of bias from the developers in what it takes to run an office.
Your choices mostly matter only at the start. By the time your office is getting its act together you'll notice that as long as you keep people busy in general that it would be hard to fail. Random events pop up occasionally but the same choices will get you the top benefits each time, so they feel stale quickly. Add to this a fairly poor English translation and the game just feels clunky.
Addicting and fun, if the glitches (overlapping pop up messages that can't be dismissed) were fixed, it would be 5 stars.
Could use a lot of features such as… Settings? Not having the lady run through her whole list of hints if you click her accidentally, etc. Still, fun to play and interesting for now.
Play and invest your time if you're willing to lose everything in snap, without notice! We got so hooked on this game that we finished it one night. As we were playing the next day, we suddenly lost all our tables and employees! We always save our game, so we closed the app and reopened it to load our previous progress, but nope, all our staff and tables are still gone. Restarted our phone, and nope, all our staff and tables are still gone. So basically we have to hire new employees to continue (and note, all our employees have ridiculous stats and are legends) and all those expensive tables we bought? Gone as well. Weird thing is, all our progress is still saved, all the money and stats and gold, etc. But, the people and the table are gone! There's even a running task still that got stalled because no one's around! What the hell? Would've given this a straight up 5 star, but after this glitch, it's not even worth playing anymore. Hell no we ain't gonna replicate all the training and table buying! Hell no! This is the longest review we have ever written here. This is how disappoint we are in this.
O jogo parou de pegar!!! Atualizem o jogo para que ele volte a funcionar com o novo ios! Obrigado.
There aren't many occasions we find ourselves saying "we should leave a review for this game!" But unfortunately, today we feel the need to share. The glitches in the game have ruined and completely interrupted game play. We'll list them in the order we encountered them. 1. Our game crashed and we lost everything, despite constant saving. 2. After paying 350 gold bars and 100000 dollars (in game currency) to train an employee, resources taken but training didn't occur. Stats did not increase. Not once, but TWICE. 3. On the final frontier (New York) it confused the location as Montreal, even though Montreal was no longer an option. It only charged us 100000 dollars though we feel like it should have been closer to 10000000. 4. (Not as much of a glitch as a SERIOUS annoyance) there are no commas in the numbers making it excruciating to count every zero to figure out pricing. See numbers above for reference. 5. When building the statue, the entire screen was miserably messed up and we could only see random "blocks" of the statue and despite building the entire thing it never changed. We could never see the statue we built and it cost a fortune to build. 6. Last but very seriously not least, after building the statue, we should have the option to "free fly" or something similar. But, alas, just blocky half statue images covering the screen. Hmmm… So game over?? We reloaded to recoup the 10,000,000 we spent on the fifth building piece. Now, there's no further progress to attain and we've only been playing for a few hours. This has been a mix of great and awful. At the beginning it was highly addictive but at the end we feel like all the time and energy spent on the game was for nothing, no satisfaction or completion what so ever. As a time killer, it has potential. But, and we quote ;) "there is no place for this app on our phone." "It's ok but it could be better" "this app is awful" haha. Thanks for reading.
Played and got so far into and then everything disappeared. No workers no desk nothing. Resetting does not help. Opening saved game does not work.
Really Creative game, we wish you could choose the company career area you wanted like doing a film company or a pet company. Otherwise, very creative and fun.
We love it, and our cats love it too! Awesome, addicting. We had the free version, built a $2B company in NY, then bought this, and we think it would be great, if you would allow somehow to have an office in each city of the map, so multiple separate offices. Will be waaay better! Trust us. Thanks for a great game.
Love it, and our cat loves it too.
