Game Dev Story

Warning, although this game looks like a quick bite size game, you will lose some sleep playing this game. It's hard to stop. I managed to complete all achievements in 2 sitting.
It is short but for that price, it is worth it and absolutely can fill your management itch!

This is fun, cute, and cheap. However, after about my 4th game release, I can't help but get all 8-10 rating on every game no matter how weird the combination is (baseball + shooter, etc). There's seemingly no way to fail.

This game is an okay management sim, but it gets repetitive fast. The game play mostly revolves around grinding and doing the same tasks over and over, which can make it feel a bit dull after a while. It’s fun for a bit, but the novelty wears off quickly.

Completely inaccurate game development simulation. When you attempt to release a game before it's finished, your secretary will tell you that "You can't release an unfinished game" and you're not allowed to ship it.
But hey, at least I can fire all my employees for no good reason, so that's spot on! :)
Jokes aside it's a great game and after a decade still holds a spot in my heart. Plays perfectly on the Steam Deck, has a lot of charm, and scratches a management itch that so few games do. Well worth playing for full price or on sale.

very first kairosoft game that I've played when it came out on app store. Nostalgic. Still doing a good job i guess but it doesn't feel right to play with my computer. There are much better tycoon computer games with so much depth. With this graphic and this depth, i dare say it's an audacity of them to pull it out as a computer game. Perhaps the nostalgia is the selling point.

앱스토어에 나와 처음 플레이 했던 나의 카이로소프트 게임. 추억돋고, 괜찮게 뽑혔지만 컴퓨터로 하기엔 뭔가 기분이 이상하다. 타이쿤 게임으로는 휠씬 낫고 깊이가 있는 컴퓨터 게임이 있기 때문. 이 그래픽과 이 깊이로, 나는 감히 이들이 이걸 컴퓨터 게임으로 낸건 일종의 뻔뻔함이 느껴지기까지 한다. 추억이 셀링포인트인 것일수도
