Idle Guy: Life Simulator games

The game is entertaining for a day or so until you figure out the nature of the game. I made millions within the first two days and didn’t even need to do the stupid upgrades. The formula of the game is to keep you on a runaway train but once you realize you don’t need to follow the game path they start shorting you on the rewards, not cool. You either get spoon fed the plot and never get out of poverty or you master the game early like I did and make millions with in the first couple of days. And there is not enough interaction with your significant other to keep it at least a little entertaining who is just another prop to get you to spend money. Hint: once you get to play roulette always bet one token on black and the other on red, you can’t lose. The overall composition is geared toward 12 yr olds that never took courses in economics. If you are older than that the game is very poor. Good premise but bad follow through. I deleted the game on my fourth day because it was’t worth the memory space on my iPad. To the developers: figure out your audience and either make it adult oriented or sesame street. You can’t mix both and expect good results. It becomes pointless really quickly. I think it has a high rating because they solicit you to rate the game constantly in the first couple of sessions when you are broke, which was kinda entertaining. Good for a minute but not compelling enough to keep you engaged more than a few times playing.

I grinded on this game didn’t spend any money, just watched ALOT of ads to get by. Towards the end no matter what I did the ads couldn’t save me because all of the sudden you start going into negative balance that keeps adding up no matter what I tried to do. I reached job level 57 I believe around there when I died, there were times I would watch ads to rank up my job to make more money to get out of the negatives but even ranking up a few times It still constantly racked up the ongoing negative balance. Let’s just say I was towards the end but was forced to die because every time you level up towards the end the more costs is taken out of your balance. I reached career level 57 around there and making $200k a month but my monthly cost was over $300k a month, that kept on racking up in the negatives, because I leveled up since it’s a task, but died bc I leveled up, I had to get a chopper that cost atleast 3mil while racking up the negative balance, so no money to spend on my health to live, even when I watched ads it couldn’t save me. In the end I made it so far but got screwed, died, and the game restarted from the beginning. Game was fun, but I’m sad I lost everything because I died. I guess nothing left to do besides uninstall the game because I am not starting all over again because I died.

I really like this game concept. It’s engaging and the storyline is solid. The game as it is has a few issues. The first thing is the fact that characters disappear and appear out of sequence. For instance when the daughter shows up the son is gone, and when you need to invest in the sons project the Pay For Your Daughter’s College background shows up. I also think that the Meet category should be renamed Life Events. The wife also disappears after the Pay For Your Daughter’s Kindergarten which makes no sense. Also what’s up the daughter’s vampire teeth? I have no problem with the adds I actually think that the way it’s set up so you can watch adds to get extra money is cool. It would be nice if there were more options as far as picking the main character and who he dates and can marry as that would add some depth and replay value as well. Overall a good game. Fun and entertaining but does need a few updates and improvements.
