You’ve created a great game. I love the fact that you have to work month by month to pay your workers and only AFTER your monthly expenses are up can you finally know how much you can spare to expand your operation. HOWEVER, you do NOT let me pause the game time. So I essentially have to ALWAYS be on the game screen running the business and if something happens then I cannot do anything about it. Also, my game time was paused because my business got busted by cops and I said to myself “finally I can safely get off this game” I come back and the game is already on the 7th day of the next month because THE GAME bought another business THAT I DIDNT DO how does the game decide what business I want to put down? I hadn’t sold anything for 7 days? I didn’t do that. The game did. You have a huge bug. Game buys business on its own for no reason and a bad design flaw. Let me pause the game time. Pausing a game is the most basic mechanic of a game. This isn’t a game you can just let play on its own when there’s so many micromanaging decisions you need to make. You could even charge people extra for a fast forward button to speed through a day if they want. 1 star because this game has potential but it’s ruined by this bad design decision and a HUGE bug.
I was not expecting much when I first downloaded but was actually surprised at how good this was compared to other similar games, I didn’t think twice about paying to get everything this developer had to offer but I very quickly regret paying for the upgrade after seeing the game doesn’t have enough content for one afternoon. Don’t spend your money.
It’s a fun game and enjoyable but within the first few minutes I broke the game with the Ditch weed farming by maximizing it and selling all my weed and n the resources menu
