  • gameplay42 mentions

    The gameplay is generally considered decent, with engaging mechanics that provide some fun and replay value, especially for the price. However, many players note that it can become repetitive and grindy, with a lack of balance in progression and scaling, leading to a relatively short playtime of around 5-7 hours. While the core mechanics are sound, the overall experience may feel shallow and unoptimized for those expecting more depth.

    • “I received this game for 74 cents, and as a streamer, it's such an amazing game to play. Thank you! I haven't encountered any huge game-breaking bugs, but we'll see after 10 hours of gameplay.”
    • “I have only played this game for 4 hours at the time of writing this review, and in this short time, I have come to grips with the game and understand the mechanics and what you have to do to progress thoroughly. I love this game.”
    • “The game has a core mechanic to it which works and is fun to play.”
    • “I think I'd be a bit less forgiving if I'd paid full price for it since the gameplay can get pretty repetitive pretty quickly.”
    • “Finished it in less than 7 hours and found much of the gameplay grindy.”
    • “Overall a nice idea but the game is very unbalanced in terms of scaling (I was earning half a million a week from just streaming just after like 2 hours of gameplay) and the game startup is poorly optimized.”
  • graphics24 mentions

    The graphics in the game are described as simplistic and reminiscent of old online flash games, which some players find charming while others consider them inadequate.

    • “It reminds me of those old online flash games; the graphics are very simple but it fits.”
    • “Artwork is very simplistic, but the core gameplay is there.”
    • “It is basically Youtuber's Life with worse graphics.”

  • replayability18 mentions
