Controls are extremely well done (took only a minute to get used to), the core game play is repetitive but if you like building things and learning how to optimize what you build, it's really fun. Plus, the rest of the game even had me laughing at times with the goofy references 😂 all in all, 10/10 inasmuch as it delivers exactly what would be expected.

Played GameDevStory and after moving to this one, it's night n day. Very well made and so many options to choose from. The tutorials and messaging is not overbearing and the hand holding is very well done. Overall a great game dev game, highly recommend. Only one thing, as the clock keeps ticking while you're deciding what to do next, it would be a great feature to pause and decide on your next move instead of burning money while you think.

Definitely a bit frustrating losing so much money at first, but if you read the game tips and do game reports then you kinda get a better feel for what players like and dislike and can make games that will make them happy and make you money. It takes awhile to get in to, but now that I have the hang of it I love it! It takes time to progress, but definitely keep going if you're frustrated/overwhelmed!
