Good game but still waiting for everything the game says will be added to be added. Like infiltration, dummy dropping locations other than ho/motels and restaurants and supermarkets, later missions etc.

I really love this game. It's super easy to play, super fun, and I still love the no add aspect of the game 🤩. Once you know how to do something, you do it every time and want to discover what comes next. For a single developer and the help of some of his community, translations are awesome (I play in French and since the beginning I only saw 1 mistake). This dev is better than a lot of big studios. Unfortunately, the 6th star doesn't exist so ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🌟 (here is the 6th star)

Unfinished and no updates/development. Half of the stuff is "Under construction" for 2 years. Don't buy.

I find it interesting that you have time to respond to my comment several months later to bash me instead of making effort to post schedule or actual updates, not listening to feedback is like burying your head in the sand. For anyone new here, better check comments and the developers responses before paying for this game. Some very interesting and very disrespectful comments that show this person doesn't care if you have any negative feedback

This game is SHeeT. The developer is a rude f@t kid. He takes so long to update the game because he is busy adding bots for positive reviews. Don't even bother download this sheet.
