★☆☆☆☆ Merlin Worm · Mar 3, 2026
Lol what is this? It's like an app made with AI in 3 minutes. There is nothing to it, numbers don't even line up, it's total slop. Edit: if something felt off? Have you bothered to play it yourself? Use your brain. There is no game here at all. It's literally not anything to comment on. There just isn't anything built for you to justify releasing this.
★☆☆☆☆ Ryan Vanhuss · Mar 7, 2026
Definitely overhyped, literally annoying to play from the start.
★☆☆☆☆ Lucas Willis · Jun 19, 2026
This game is pretty much just investing you can't make anything until you get like 250k, and you have to grind up with investing then the website only gains 9k because of fans even though every five seconds it pops up -5 percent to fans or -1k money when all of its in stocks, so you have to watch ads this game is horrible
