Family Go! - Lifetime Sim game

Tutorial is great, I love the art, and I’m addicted to generation management games like this. However, I wish there was an opt to play WITHOUT having to go through levels and already made scenarios, and instead play like a “free roam” version where you don’t automatically get booted out of a family scenario once you complete a level and have to start over. The reason why I’m into these types of games is because the creators give good enough creative freedom to manage your family is many generations as you want, and play how you want, without working towards an already made goal and having to adjust to a brand new family once you’ve completed a storyline. It saddened and frustrated me because I was attached to and was on a roll with my first family, before having to go and automatically get assigned a new once after the first level. If this came into fruition at the start (or in settings), to play WITHOUT having to play by levels and just how YOU want, I would rate this game 5 stars in an instant and play it 20 times more than I already have because, like I said, I’m an absolute LOVER for these types of games! TLDR: Make an option for the player to choose wether or not they want to either play by the default levels or the game, or play with different save files for different families and manage everything how the player wants freely without goals or needing to consider level progression!

I honestly really like this game I think the storylines are fun interesting with the twist and turns that come about. My only real complaint would be with the point system I mean it's incredibly easy to lose your reputation but you only have one opportunity to gain it back. I think reputation should be able to be gained when winning events say like winning the Olympics or evolving within the Olympics even if just winning the state Olympics gives you like 5% reputation that would be like cool. i'd say another thing is when it comes to gaining things like your charm points smart points and strength there should definitely be more opportunities because it's really hard to match up where you need to be point wise at a certain points in the game to be able to progress pass level two and I think that's why a lot of people are stuck on level two. I think a really good thing to implement would be if you're choosing the option that requires a certain amount of strength,charm or smarts and you may not succeed at that because you don't have enough points;you should still gain at least point because it's still like a learning opportunity and with that I would increase the point gain to least five when doing activities that give you points I think that would be a great implication. I can't wait to see this game develop because I am really enjoying it but I think those few things would be very helpful in keeping players engaged

Level 2 feels very pay to win. You can buy diamond apples (microtransactions) to progress much faster and easier but you run out of them so quick on level 2. You can also earn them for free but I feel they don’t give you enough for free. It’s definitely difficult and everything gets so expensive once you reach the year 2000 and up. We’re talking MILLIONS of dollars to successfully pass each situation/option. If you fail that choice, your mood/health/popularity can all tank. Hitting zero makes you lose the game session UNLESS you have up to 10 diamond apples so that the game will let you continue. You can also watch an ad to continue but it will not give you the option the next time you hit zero. Your family also barely make enough money to stay afloat (a bit too realistic lol) You also have to make sure you have high enough points in charisma, strength and intelligence otherwise you have a good chance of just failing any encounter/situation that pops up. And my grandchildren and their children always have low stats! Definitely needs some balancing changes that benefit players more. I understand it’s free to play but the pay to win aspect will make it get old and make a lot of new players potentially ignore this game. And please let us replay former levels we already beat. Having to repeat level 2 constantly gets old. Game is still pretty new so I expect it will get much better with updates. Thank you, devs!
