Ratings and reviews

I want to love this game. Looks great, sounds great, and fun to play at first. It's just too difficult. I know it's supposed to be challenging and largely trial and error, but it's so unsatisfying to have games get an average of 4/10 every single time. I feel like I don't know what I'm doing the whole time, and the few hints I get seem to amount to nothing. Almost went bankrupt several times and have no clue how to get out of it. Overall, it was so confusing and frustrating, unfortunately.

Fun but save game bugs. I enjoyed playing this game, picking different options and tweaking and improving. The issue is with saving and loading the game. I could only complete all 35 years if I played straight through before my app restarted. If I tried to save my game, my employees would turn into ghosts and lose interaction. If I just relied on auto-save, I would click 'continue' and be back at the start.

This game is buggy but so much fun. The concept seems boring, but it really works out - you choose what to focus on in each game design, and then your designers generate points based on those decisions and your designers abilities. It's really addictive because of the variety of genres and topics, while having the same basic progression. The bugs, however, are numerous. The game has lots of saving issues - you'll exit and lose your progress, or open it and find your high scores have reset.
