While some users enjoy the game, the overwhelming number of technical issues has made it frustrating and nearly unplayable for many.

    • “I love this game! I downloaded it three months ago and it's amazing. There are no ads popping up every five seconds and no glitches.

    • “I'll tell you quickly in two words what's wrong with this game: 'business mode'. That's what's wrong with this game, the 99.999% of sour experience would be business mode, whoever came up with the idea for a level-up requirement that requires you to dump all your idle collected money into a very low-quality excuse of some kind of story mode (because it has chapters and stages you gotta finish) with no dialogue, and same low-effort animations over and over for you to level up to another bank?”
    • “The 'get total manager levels to x' missions make progression grind to a halt.”

    • “The game already had an issue where everything started to freeze and get slow, but after the latest update that supposedly fixed bugs and performance issues, it got worse.
