With so many mobile games that bait and switch, flood you with ads, and/or push in-app purchases for meaningful progression, this game is a breath of fresh air. There is a learning curve with the game, so don’t be discouraged if it takes you a few play throughs to get it. I failed multiple times in the beginning, but with a “sandbox mode” that lets you play the game and not lose, you can experiment to find an approach that works for you with no frustrations. There are a good number of features, and the developer is very responsive to feedback and bug reports. You can keep it simple with a single artist, or expand into a multi-artist dynasty with touring and merchandising. While this has a higher up-front price tag than some mobile games, the replay value and lack of ads/in-app purchases make it reasonably priced and worth the cost. If you’re looking for a fun and engaging game that doesn’t shove ads or additional purchases down your throat, I hope you’ll consider this one.

Love the game! Have played it for hours without stopping. Few things I’d love to see 1.) more control of subsidiary labels and ability to move artists around and make them more genre specific 2.) ability to have artist do like a Vegas or casino residency in addition to regular touring where they are offered the residency and a pay similar to the function of when they do a promotion for a product but incorporating the aspect that they are gone for the residency for a fixed term. I feel like these additions would be very welcomed.

CD Market is a fun and immersive game that transports players to the vibrant and competitive world of the music industry, with a unique 90s twist. Its strategic gameplay offers a refreshing experience, though it may be confusing at first. Fortunately, the game’s developers have provided helpful guides and updated the game with more informative text, making it easier for players to get started. Overall, I believe CD Market has the potential to make significant progress and stand out as a one-of-a-kind music simulation game compared to the limited options available.
