Some users appreciate the depth and complexity of the storyline, highlighting its emotional impact, while others express frustration with gameplay elements that detract from the story experience. Overall, the storyline is seen as a strong point, but improvements in pacing and clarity could enhance player enjoyment.
- “Just wow, the story in this simple game I have never seen mobile game plus simulator with good story balance and fun. I'm a full gamer, imagine just wow.”
- “One of the best games yet... I have just completed the story and it's soooo freaking good... keep up the great work, devs!”
- “I end the game and the story is legit god-like.”
- “The storyline can take ages, with other pop-ups taking priority, and I think I encountered a glitch where production refuses to go past half a star, which really tanks my games.”
- “Four stars only for one reason: the story mode is almost impossible to finish without getting bored. From time to time, interesting events happen, but the huge problem that is stopping me from playing it again is that progress is so slow and insanely boring, spamming orders and struggling to make a profit due to expenses.”
- “The story felt a bit repetitive; that is the only problem.”

The monetization strategy of the game has received mixed reviews, with some players frustrated by the overwhelming presence of unskippable ads and high in-game costs, making progress feel tedious. Conversely, others appreciate the reasonable ad frequency and find the game enjoyable, suggesting that a balance between ads and in-app purchases could enhance the experience. Overall, while some players enjoy the simulator aspect, many feel that the monetization model detracts from the gameplay.
- “No ads? That's a huge plus for enjoying the game without interruptions!”
- “The option for in-app purchases is a great addition; it allows players to enhance their experience.”
- “Well, that game is actually cool, but it's just very hard at the start. I need to watch 10 billion ads to make a game and get, well, nothing!”
- “Bruv, you got unskippable ads. I need to watch ads every time I do something or I will have no money. And why in God's name does it cost multiple thousands of dollars to make one game? I can go on Unity right now and upload a game on Steam for, guess what, free! Also, 90% of the time you're not even making games, you're just doing contracts. Just call the game 'Hacker Simulator' if the free mode and the story are just hacking. Like, bro, what the heck, this is just Hacker Sim but harder and worse.”
- “Every single action to get money requires more money, and the only way of getting money in the beginning is literally watching ads.”
