Comments on Game Dev Story for Android

★★★★★ David “MW0DCM” Maydew · Apr 9, 2026

This is such an addictive game like its Tycoon counterpart! Pick the right combo to each game developed, and you're laughing, but get 1 out of place, and you lose money and followers!

★★★★★ Alice Lin · May 5, 2026

How fun. I won a grand prize, and they sent me to review. Fair enough.

★★★★★ Matthew Ducker Duffy · Apr 12, 2026

Was surprisingly addicting, fun time. A little sad it had limited memory for games though.

★★★★☆ 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.

★☆☆☆☆ 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.

★★☆☆☆ 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.

★★☆☆☆ Chi Le · Mar 2, 2026

I installed the game during the giveaway 11/02/2026 when it was $0. Now suddenly I can't open it, and I have to buy it for $6. Uninstalled. Was fun when I played it during Play Pass trial, but I'm pretty upset about the dishonored giveaway.

★☆☆☆☆ Mwaka Monze · Apr 28, 2026

Repetitive and becomes extremely boring/formulaic very quickly.
