The gameplay is heavily criticized for being a derivative and inferior version of Game Dev Tycoon, with many users noting its repetitive nature and lack of innovation. While some find it easy to pick up, especially if familiar with GDT, others struggle with confusing mechanics and poor translations. Additionally, technical issues like freezing detract from the overall experience, leaving players uncertain about continued engagement.
- “The gameplay is very similar to Game Dev Tycoon, and honestly, that's all I can really ask for.”
- “GDT is a fantastic game, and since this game's mechanics play exactly like GDT, it comes across as a good game as well.”
- “It's easy to pick up if you're already familiar with GDT's gameplay, or easy enough to learn if you're not.”
- “No tooltips, so mechanics are invisible, and the terrible translation means often the words are contradictory.”
- “Basically a rip-off of Game Dev Tycoon but with worse graphics and worse gameplay.”
- “Gameplay is very boring and repetitive; it's basically a bad version of Game Dev Tycoon with nothing new to do, no new seasons, or your own streaming platform.”

The game is plagued by significant stability issues, including frequent bugs and glitches that hinder gameplay, such as freezing and a problematic money system. While some players find it enjoyable despite these flaws, the overall lack of content and functionality, such as the absence of a tutorial and limited options for creating content, detracts from the experience. Many users express a desire for updates to address these stability concerns.
- “This game is not only really buggy, but also lacks much content that would justify it being an actual series-making tycoon. There is no way to choose between making a series or movie, no way to make a sequel or new season, and no way to choose between actors. You can create a protagonist that you can reuse in all your creations, but this is really shallow and is just randomly generated stats based on design points of the worker. The stats and jobs are just really lazy and seem copy and pasted from Game Dev Tycoon's design points.”
- “I really wanted to like this game; however, the current amount of content is extremely lackluster and some aspects are quite buggy and don't always work, which stops me from progressing.”
- “I love this game so much, but I'm afraid that I can't play because every time I do, it freezes after 5 minutes of gameplay. Please update this game to fix this problem.”
