The game is a cool concept but there's a few problems. The game forces me to buy stuff that is way over my budget and instead of allowing me to keep leveling up on jobs without, it puts me in debt then forces me to watch nothing but 30 ads instead of allowing to progress on my own terms. It's best to uninstall at this point. That just ruins the fun altogether.

There are way too many ads. I could play for 5 minutes, and only be in the actual game 1 of those 5. Everytime I do anything, start a new job, upgrade the happiness/health level, upgrade the food, transport, housing or family level, there's at least a ads. Not only are you continuously forced to watch ads, but the game is pretty much impossible to win. The items required to get the next job will cost 3x more than the job pays. It's very irritating and I would not reccomend the app to anyone.

This game was fun at first, but the ads pop up every couple minutes, ads for 500 dollars. This game gets you stuck at side jobs. And most of the time I start over. It's so annoying that we have to watch an ad for 500 dollars though. You have to wait a little bit, because if you try to watch another one right after it gives you a message like, error or something. If you want to actually win you have to wait a super long time for all the money to come in.

After failing miserably two times I filled out a large Excel spreadsheet to compare the required expenses to possible income at every single level. After the first introductory jobs, you start getting a negative net income and it just gets worse and worse. The game is heavily designed to require in-app purchases in order to survive. Very annoying, don't waste your time.

You are literally required to either watch ads every 30 seconds, or pay to play in order to progress the game at all. Any job that you get has requirements that are outside of your budget. So if you're making 1.5k in game, the requirements to keep that job cost 2.5k and the only way to make more money is to watch ads consistently. Otherwise, you can't progress in the game. If you leave your phone, at all, you end up losing all of your progress because you're not watching ads to make more money.

Really wanted to enjoy this game. It seems like it's a ton of fun honestly. But, the Ad situation is beyond terrible. Every other time you switch to a different menu (need to do very frequently) you get hit with an ad. Ads for bonuses are one thing but this absolutely ruins the game. Signed- played for 10 minutes and uninstalling due to ads.
