Comments on Game Dev Story for Android

★★★★★ Matthew Ducker Duffy · Apr 12, 2026
Was surprisingly addicting, fun time. A little sad it had limited memory for games though.
★★★★★ Alice Lin · May 5, 2026
How fun. I won a grand prize, and they sent me to review. Fair enough.
★★★★★ 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!
★★★★☆ 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.
★★☆☆☆ 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.
★☆☆☆☆ Mwaka Monze · Apr 28, 2026
Repetitive and becomes extremely boring/formulaic very quickly.
★★☆☆☆ 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.
