    The game features an excessive and intrusive number of ads that frequently interrupt gameplay, frustrating many players and often forcing them offline to avoid ads. While a reasonably priced in-app purchase to remove ads is available and generally seen as worthwhile, some users report continued ads even after purchase. Overall, the aggressive monetization through ads significantly hampers the user experience despite the game's enjoyment and potential.

    • “Worth the no ads, enjoyable game to waste time with.”
    • “Paid for no ads, worth it.”
    • “I love this game, and that you constantly update it, no ads was so worth it.”
    • “I'm loving the game but hate the ads every time I put something on the shelves. I can barely do anything without ads popping up and kicking me off the game repeatedly, forcing me to start all over again.”
    • “Regardless if you pay to remove them or not, it's outrageous how you can't do anything without dealing with ads.”
    • “It's awful. This game is ads. There is no game; it's only ads. As soon as you open the door, you get an ad. As soon as you try to cut up the weed, you get an ad. It tells you to water your plants, you get an ad. It tells you to go to the store and buy something, you get an ad. You can't do something without getting a 30-second ad. If you try to skip it when it shows the skip button, you get another two ads on top of that ad, and if you skip that, you get another two ads until you watch them. They also crash the game.”

    The graphics in the game receive mixed feedback, with many players appreciating smooth performance and decent visuals for a mobile experience, including 90fps support and a well-optimized map. However, several users find the graphics lacking in quality, describing them as dull, low-detail, or less immersive compared to similar titles, and suggest improvements such as better textures, colors, and more realistic environments. Overall, while the graphics are functional and occasionally praised for smoothness, enhanced visual fidelity and optimization remain a common request.

    • “Most satisfying and calming game to play, graphic quality is amazing and 90fps is super smooth, keep grinding my fellow dealers.”
    • “The graphics were visually appealing and created an immersive environment for the players.”
    • “Great graphics quality and really fun to grind.”
    • “Currently, the graphics are not very good and the game often looks dull or colorless, which makes the experience less engaging.”
    • “Graphics is so bad, and also, the system is not like the other one and getting stuck a lot and the stuck button never help.”
    • “Honestly the recent update makes the game better but leveling up is too long and it should be updated more other than that it is really close to schedule 1 but with worse graphics.”

    The gameplay is generally fun, addictive, and well-designed with smooth controls and a solid core experience, though it suffers from a small map, repetitive grinding, and some awkward mechanics like vehicle handling and physics. Many users request expanded features such as multiplayer, improved police behavior, more interactive NPCs, better item and vehicle systems, and additional gameplay content to enhance realism and variety. However, intrusive ads and occasional glitches detract from the overall experience, signaling room for optimization and deeper gameplay improvements.

    • “The core gameplay is already so solid, multiplayer would make this game genuinely unstoppable.”
    • “I’m really enjoying the gameplay and the overall concept—it’s truly engaging and well-designed.”
    • “The gameplay is fun, and the map is well-designed, though a bit small.”
    • “Please add a bank/ATM system to save in-game money, improve the police system for better gameplay, add a recipe book for all items, upgrade NPC behavior, fix workers’ shelf system so items are placed properly, and improve vehicle mechanics.”
    • “It's a nice game, however leveling up is tedious and slow, meaning that gameplay quickly gets repetitive.”
    • “Game could've been better without the time waiting mechanics for the dead drop, also those mission indicators are so useless, yeah they point to somewhere but to whom and where exactly, kinda useless.”
  • story

    47 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    13% positive mentions, 81% neutral mentions, 6% negative mentions

    Players appreciate the game’s core concept but consistently highlight a lack of a compelling story, engaging missions, and character interactions, which leads to repetitive and sometimes boring gameplay especially after early levels. Many suggest adding a richer storyline with cutscenes, more NPCs, mission variety, and better mission tracking to enhance immersion and progression. Overall, the story aspect is seen as underdeveloped, with strong potential if future updates expand narrative depth and gameplay objectives.

    • “It was a pleasure experiencing the interactive gameplay and the engaging storyline.”
    • “The graphics, story (just player), and experience is just very good.”
    • “It's a nice game actually it really gives you feel of playing Schedule I and I request to add a storyline that would be better. Thank you for making this game :)”
    • “No storyline or anything exciting about the game.”
    • “You like it in the beginning but when you progress past level 14 it becomes boring with no entertainment and little story. Missions are only available up to level 5, and after that you play without tasks, quests, mission upgrades, tools, houses, assistants, dealers, or cars. Please make a big update in this game.”
    • “The only thing wrong with the game is it doesn't tell you where to go when a mission needs to be done.”
  • stability

    27 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    7% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 93% negative mentions

    The game suffers from numerous glitches and bugs affecting critical gameplay elements like NPC interactions, item placement, quests, and police behavior, leading to frustration and occasional unplayability. While some users report occasional freezes and low FPS issues, others note stability improvements with fewer glitches. Overall, stability is a major concern detracting from the game's enjoyment until addressed.

    • “No forced ads, huge map, and good gameplay with no glitches.”
    • “I'm glad there are no glitches; overall, it's perfect.”
    • “The game is too buggy, it's literally unplayable for me. First, I paused the game while cops were chasing me but I still got caught. Then I tried to speedrun the objectives but I couldn't continue because it wouldn't disappear nor continue anymore. I also couldn't talk to NPCs, especially the store keeper, and I don't know why. If someone orders, I can't see them on the map to sell them my products, but I can see the deal logo at the compass.”
    • “There's way too many bugs and glitches. Instead of paying for XP, make it easier to level up. You need to fix the police; they randomly tried searching me but I ran away and the timer went down so I wasn't wanted anymore. But she ran in my house and stole an entire shelf of my product. The houses should be a safe place. The game would be better in my opinion because right now I want to delete this game. If you fix my issues then I would consider giving it 4 stars; right now it's a 2 for me.”
    • “A bunch of glitches including storage stuff going missing with tons of items inside worth hours of playing!”
  • grinding

    16 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    Users find the game highly grindy, especially in early to mid levels, with repetitive tasks like tapping machines and slow progression causing tedious gameplay. Many suggest adding features like worker hiring, automated processes, and more varied missions to reduce the grind and enhance enjoyment. Despite the grind, regular updates and smooth graphics keep players engaged, though some wish for deeper content and less repetitiveness.

    • “It's insanely grindy until you reach the blending table. Automatic soil and water machines aren't truly automatic—you have to tap them to make them work. When harvesting buds, each slot stacks up to 20, but if your inventory is nearly full, the game counts it as full, blocking further collection.”
    • “Leveling up is tedious and slow, making gameplay quickly repetitive.”
    • “The game needs optimization. After level 20, it becomes very boring until level 25 due to excessive grinding. More missions would help.”
  • optimization

    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    33% positive mentions, 42% neutral mentions, 25% negative mentions

    The game suffers from significant optimization issues, including late object loading, stuttering, and lag, especially in areas with many houses or large city views. Performance on lower-end devices is notably poor despite low graphics settings, leading to freezes and phone slowdowns. Users request better performance enhancements, render distance options, and overall smoother gameplay in future updates.

    • “The game runs smoothly with some ads, but you can exit most of them quickly.”
    • “Best I've ever played. Hope the devs add weapons or new mixtures. The graphics run smoothly, but one problem is the NPCs are floating and doing T-pose for some reason.”
    • “I played the game on different devices before and it was fantastic, but on my recent device the game lags even on minimum settings. Please improve optimization.”
    • “Many objects load too late, causing stuttering.”
    • “I think this game is great. My only criticism is that the world is not optimized and freezes my phone a lot even though I can play bigger games like Valorant or Genshin.”
    • “Game is okay but it needs to be optimized for lower-end Android devices.”
  • humor

    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    Players find the game enjoyable and humorous, appreciating its fun gameplay, but suggest adding more interactive and amusing reactions from customers—such as trying products or varied responses—to enhance the humor further.

    • “Very funny game, love the gameplay.”
    • “It's a very good and funny game, wholesun dude.”
    • “I hope this game gets better and better, and I hope in the next update the seller can try the product and some funny effects are added if the buyer tries it.”
  • replayability

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 100% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    Replayability is hindered by difficulty spikes, such as being stuck on specific objectives, which can limit continued engagement; however, players express strong enthusiasm and support, hoping for improvements to enhance playability and longevity.

  • music

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 100% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    Users appreciate the inclusion of music from the original game and desire features that allow greater customization, such as character clothing and appearance. They also suggest enhancing interactivity with mixing stations and purchasable items, which could influence customer behavior. Overall, there is a call for a richer, more immersive experience tied to musical and gameplay elements.
