Comments on Game Dev Story for Android

★★★★☆ Cassidy S · Jul 15, 2026

I beat it in one day and was disappointed that there wasn't more to the story. I do appreciate that there is a fast mode right off the bat (usually airsoft makes you beat the game to unlock fast) but I kept feeling like "...this is it?". Once you get game of the year there isn't much more to do or spend your money on. Wish there were more quests or goals to reach.

★★★★★ Stewart “Stompin89” Osgood · Jun 25, 2026

Addictive! Zero In-App Purchases. It's a short game, but it has Replay ability, in fact, to complete it you need to do at least two cycles. I did complete it in only two cycles if what you call completing it is winning the grand prize.

★★★★☆ J T. · May 12, 2026

Forced suggestion to leave a review after getting top game award... besides that it's a fun game. The grand prize is kind of pointless when you can earn 1 m by that time and near perfect games.

★★★★★ Keita Yongz · Jul 13, 2026

I can't even tell how many hours was spent to play this game. This game absolutely fun and addicting

★☆☆☆☆ JagenXI · Apr 6, 2026

The RNG is ridiculous, and it's always negative, I've had so many blackouts and equipment failures (in game) that I cannot progress.

★★☆☆☆ Leland Dantzler · Apr 4, 2026

I think it's shallow and solved quickly, then never really evolves again. I don't understand the glowing reviews at all, as there was nothing addicting about a solved puzzle/management game to me.

★☆☆☆☆ Darko Pecanac · Jun 21, 2026

Every time I get the highest points in each category the "oh no we had equipment failure, we're up and running, but we lost some points" message pops up, EVERY time. Out of 140 developed, 55 had this happen to. I owned another similar game & that had more modes where you could hire multiple teams & work on MULTIPLE games at once, same with having ability to create a console, graphics, software etc. This game lacks a lot of content that make these types of games engaging and wanting to come back.

★☆☆☆☆ Mwaka Monze · Apr 28, 2026

Repetitive and becomes extremely boring/formulaic very quickly.
