Warning, although this game looks like a quick bite size game, you will lose some sleep playing this game. It's hard to stop. I managed to complete all achievements in 2 sitting. It is short but for that price, it is worth it and absolutely can fill your management itch!

very first kairosoft game that I've played when it came out on app store. Nostalgic. Still doing a good job i guess but it doesn't feel right to play with my computer. There are much better tycoon computer games with so much depth. With this graphic and this depth, i dare say it's an audacity of them to pull it out as a computer game. Perhaps the nostalgia is the selling point. <번역> 앱스토어에 나와 처음 플레이 했던 나의 카이로소프트 게임. 추억돋고, 괜찮게 뽑혔지만 컴퓨터로 하기엔 뭔가 기분이 이상하다. 타이쿤 게임으로는 휠씬 낫고 깊이가 있는 컴퓨터 게임이 있기 때문. 이 그래픽과 이 깊이로, 나는 감히 이들이 이걸 컴퓨터 게임으로 낸건 일종의 뻔뻔함이 느껴지기까지 한다. 추억이 셀링포인트인 것일수도

My first impression was just "ok", but then I read the guides and wiki an realized that I was missing the most of this game's depth (which the game has, despite the looks). This game is really fun once you understand how it works.

Probably the most basic and barebones mobile port I've ever fully enjoyed nonetheless. Really tight and enjoyable game loop, but pretty much zero replayability. After making about 30 games or so, I had more money than I could possibly spend with nothing to work towards. The game does not give you any quests or goals to pursue, beyond just what's the next game to make. So once you reach a certain point (~7 hours or so), it's nothing but the same, forever. My game won game of the Year, and I got an achievement for it -- but after that there was nothing to work toward. It *is* possible to make a console, but requires a certain type of employee, which I never once saw, so. But up until then, it was fun. Regular price is way too high on PC. On a mobile app store I would except this to be around $5 at most, and would wait for a sale. I got this for ~$5 so i feel like I paid full price for an older mobile game. Which is fine, no regrets at all. Just, don't buy it at full price.

Completely inaccurate game development simulation. When you attempt to release a game before it's finished, your secretary will tell you that "You can't release an unfinished game" and you're not allowed to ship it. But hey, at least I can fire all my employees for no good reason, so that's spot on! :) Jokes aside it's a great game and after a decade still holds a spot in my heart. Plays perfectly on the Steam Deck, has a lot of charm, and scratches a management itch that so few games do. Well worth playing for full price or on sale.
