The gameplay of the game is a mixed bag, featuring a robust core with various mechanics like programming, product prototyping, and marketing, but suffers from significant bugs and a tedious micromanagement system that can detract from the experience. While some players appreciate the depth and potential for creativity, many express frustration over the lack of polish and the need for constant oversight, making the early gameplay feel grindy and less intuitive. Overall, the game shows promise but requires substantial improvements to enhance the gameplay flow and user experience.
- “Currently, the game includes programming contracts, prototyping products, factory production, game development, software development, marketing mechanics, sales and other special events, and tons of customization options for almost every one of these systems.”
- “Very fun and detailed game with interesting mechanics involving product creation, game development, and platforms (the Steam/Microsoft Store/PlayStation Store of your product) with much more to come.”
- “The game has lots of micromanagement things to do, there is a good macro arc when it comes to the big picture gameplay, and this makes for a very entertaining game.”
- “Instead of feeling like the owner of a company, the gameplay makes you the busybody manager who has to constantly tell the staff what to do next.”
- “The developers have collected a bunch of mechanics in one game, but have not finished one of them; they need to release patches every day so that it is playable... and this is sad.”
- “I feel like the current early gameplay is far too grindy and micromanagey, while the game started to shine with the hardware creation aspect.”

- “I appreciate how the grind is balanced; it encourages progression without feeling like a chore.”

- “I feel like the current early gameplay is far too grindy and micromanagey, while the game started to shine with the hardware creation aspect.”
