Great idea, but too stressful. You lose money so quickly because the weeks tick past every few seconds, so your recurring costs like salaries get paid out very fast. It means that if you're someone who likes to take their time and think about what they're doing, who likes to reread and reanalyze their stats again and again, then you're going to lose large amounts of money every time you do that, which makes the game feel incredibly stressful because it doesn't give you time to stop and think.

Amazing and just awful. No matter what I have tried, every single thing I do ends up in utter failure and they just hate the games that I make. I even resorted to straight up cheating and following a very direct guide on how to make platinum hits and it just doesn't work. This is the most hardcore and difficult simulation I have ever played in my life. I LOVED it for awhile but it's just so punishing and impossible to win so, two thumbs way down. Make an easier mode, way way too hard.

Wonderful. I am and have been for many months. totally addicted to this game. I would love it if you could update it a little. because I find myself completing the time allowed to finish the game. but then carrying on until I've done everything. then staring again. MANY times. it's a great game. a little freshening up would be great, but I still okay it daily.
