Ratings and reviews

The game is pretty neat. I really like the concept and enjoy playing. However, some of the clickable choices either extend past the screen space or get placed behind the menu bar on the bottom, making it difficult, if not impossible, to select. Also, the game crashes... a LOT. I'm lucky if I get through a couple story days before the app suddenly closes. So, even if I save every few minutes, I still end up having to repeat a lot of stuff. If those things get fixed, I'll give a much higher score.

Love it. This is a very original take, im not developer per se (only tester) but the experience this game flashes is very true to the real life scenarios that can happen in IT. The only problem I encountered was the screen ratio not being to scale with my phone (quite ordinary Samsung model). Therefore things like listening to music for relax would soft-lock me, as also longer questions.

I played a few starting chapters but the same loop of routine was tiring...It's really good to learn about developer life... but it would have been 10x more better if we could network with real people through the game... for those who cannot go to hackathons or not really confident in metworking... i think it could help a lot... also if you could show things more deep like showing what happens in a hackathon and how to network with others.
