Truly an amazing game! So many different combinations to choose from, it ensures every playthrough is unique. The game has a fair share of trail and error, but it's fun discovering the combinations and what does and doesn't work well. My biggest gripe is the sequel system, I'd prefer to be able to put my games into 'series' and have spinoffs that aren't necessarily sequels (and have them grouped as a series on my game overview). The game timeline menu could use an overhaul regardless.

I keep coming back, over and over, for at least 6 years with this game. I have bought copies for every platform I have. This game challenges you to come back over and over, earning all the achievements or finding all the easter eggs (ping). Well worth the minutes, hours, years, and lifetimes you can spend playing. Though, the occasional update to help clarify the - - - to +++ sliders would be nice.

I'd give this game 4.5 stars as its essentially Game Dev Story, just with different mechanics. That being said, the mechanics are refreshing and add a level of difficulty not found in GDS that I very much enjoy. The other improvement is the graphics. which I say are very well done. One of my favorite parts is how if your dev character pauses working from their computer, development stops. Nice attention to detail! I'm excited for the rest of this game as I'm still in the garage!

Fun Game about Games. The game is customizable and repetitive, but they made it to where its interesting. This game is actually a little strategic and its not just spamming a button. They made it to where you have to mix and match certain elemants to make your creations work, but its not too crazy in depth. Very fun game if you're trying to kill some time especially at first.
