Игра хорошая всем рекомендую
Fun game, played more on mobile. Still a good time killer
todos mis juegos fueron calificados con 1 estrella. no recomendado para nada
great indie game
Perfect. This is a masterpiece in modern video gaming. The game design is brilliant, and the fun gameplay gets you thinking in creative ways to overcome challenges. Ahead of its time in terms of technical aspects, as well. I love this game not just for the addicting gameplay loop, but also for the enduring story mode that the game instills in the player. An easy ten out of ten, and, for my money, certainly the best business simulation game ever made. This is right up there in the Hall of Fame for video games.
I love this game it is a little old now but still a gem!
I love this game (mostly). It's super fun and really in depth. There are two thing I really don't like, though. When making a game in this game, you get tech and design bubbles. The more you play, the higher the bar will be (aka you need more bubbles). Though, the game doesn't tell you the bar. After 4 hours of (casual) gameplay, I got 40 bubbles for each in one of my games. It got like 4/10 stars. The study came back for the game and everything was perfect. Why does this happen? IMO, the game should give a set bar to tell you like "You need X bubbles to get a better score and beat the bar". Also, you need to CONSTANTLY spit out games. Otherwise the expenses like salaries and owning your workshop kill you quickly. If one of the devs is viewing this, PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD add a set bar that tells you how many bubbles to get to get a good game.
Game scores are calculated using hidden, arbitrary rules and formulas which are impossible to keep track of. Makes your decisions in the game completely irrelevant as your games get random, but almost certain mediocre reviews the more you play. Becomes extremely repetitive after less than 2 hours of gameplay. Most overrated game of all time.
Best Simulation Game That I Ever Played! Its Fun And We Can Able to Experience The Evolution Of Gaming Industry From 80s era to till this date! I wish if they make a 3D sequal to this game..... If somebody knows any similar type of game like this...Please Let me Know :)
