| 2023-04-11 |  | | Decent. I just finished the demo. I wish you would be asked different questions instead of the same old "what is best for action games." I also wish the game would warn you about being only a demo. Altogether, good, but I have no idea what the full version offers vs this demo, and the demo only gives you 10 game years, 1 worker for hire, and 1 new office. I wish I knew more about the full version before I am asked to buy. Edit- it does not always respond when I tap things. |
| 2023-03-03 |  | | The best free game dev game I ever play in mobile. Very complex mechanics and very fun IMO. |
| 2022-06-24 |  | | Decent game,time killer for a while,but the 1990 blockage w/ payment ia ridiculous! Especially considering the fact that the game has lots of bugs and the bugs while making a game,cannot even be debugged! The expense menu in manage doesnt work too so its not worth it especially because the game is very slow and year dependant,the Speed up doesnt work properly and sometimes doesnt work even when training |
| 2022-05-21 |  | | The game gets good once you're used to the controls,however I don't like that you can't release a game with the same genre on one platform |
| 2022-05-16 |  | | Very good game and it doesnt have any bugs in it. I recommend, and it has suprisingly low downloads. But its still a really good time killer. |
| 2022-02-21 |  | | Loved this game played non stop until it was 10 years and i ahd to pay im shocked and annoyed as i was having so much fun |
| 2022-02-18 |  | | please create longer free game... This game is the best game developmet game, one problem is... That popup for pay to continue is one problem, else, this game is the best on this world!!! |
| 2022-01-05 |  | | I downloaded this game on my tablet and found it quite interesting until I found out that you have to pay to continue playing after 10 in game years. |
| 2021-04-10 |  | | This is a great game, absolutely love it, I wish that you could have online games that instead of making sequels for you can send out updates to give your game more sales and such, also the ability for more than one topic in a game would be really appreciated, other than that great game, good job |
| 2021-04-03 |  | | First 10 years I liked it I thought it was a free Game Dev tycoon but the rest of the game and it put me off because you had to pay for it and I don't have any money so can you make it optional or a supporter thing? Please I was about to be a fan of your game |
