Car Industry Tycoon: Idle Sim

Not a tycoon game, it's an IDLE tycoon, in my experience these two game types are completely different in feel and play. Also theres a lot on screen that shows up after you come back to the game the first time which means its hiding the idea it really just wants to make money off of microtransactions. Not new and extremely basic and tiring.

The game is great to play if you like to see progression, seeing a factory slowing grow onto a massive complex. A feature I like about the game is the music, for a simple game, it's really good, it has a Minecraft vibe to it. Another aspect I like is there is rarely any ads, when a game pushes ads, it gets annoying, so I like how this game decided not to force it.

Game is pretty fun for the first couple hours. However, you quickly hit a brick wall where progressing becomes nearly impossible. No doubt in an attempt to get you to buy the microtransactions and/or watch several ads. The prices are absurd as well. $9 for a manager that lets you produce for 10 hours offline (as opposed to the base 2 which is insanely short) and $10 for a permanent double increase to your profits. Unless you are willing to drop almost $20, I can't recommend this game.

It's a fun little idle tycoon game. Nothing groundbreaking compared to other games of the same genre. The graphics are nice except for the workers which are quite basic. The problem with the game is the cost of the upgrades. For example, you stop accruing money after 2 hours out of the game but can buy a manager for $8.99 so you aren't limited to 2 hrs. Or $9.99 for 2x conveyor speeds. There are entire games far more deep and involved that cost less than that! Not sure why Devs chose to do that

It was fun until I had to start from scratch with a new car type. It was so annoying to have made progress and then have it all be worth nothing because it all deletes and starts over. I want to be able to see multiple factories or run multiple car types by upgrading the machines. There also isn't any strategy in the building since there's no customization. You just tap upgrade, spending 1 trillion dollars to shave 0.3 seconds off the speed of a vending machine... Makes no sense

Really boring. Most cars along the progression line you won't even see fully built due to cost constraints on the assembly line, and each extra module takes more and more time to craft. Nothing special to look at in terms of graphics; once you've seen the first object made by the machine, it never changes. Very odd prices for things, lots of attempts to make you watch ads to move things quite a bit faster.

Updated review. I find this game enjoyable, easy to play, but still a challenge to open all three factorys. My favorite aspect of the game is that you are not forced to watch ads, you only have to watch if you want extra money or perks, unlike some other popular games where your game gets interrupted every few moves for an ad that doesn't give you anything but stress. It's similar to a Steam game that I also own, but easier to carry with you.

Can only play one factory at a time. Half the objective is to grow all your factories, but time freezes on one when you switch to the other. Other than that it's a decent down time filler. Update: something changed with Google play that, more often than not, gets rid of the earnings you made while away, and after you get rid of the account selection window, it tells you you've earned 30 seconds worth. Tempted to drop it to 2 stars and move on, it's frustrating.

I have to agree with everyone here. The progression is extremely lacking. It's SO SLOW. At this point i log in and can literally do 3 or 4 upgrades on a machine and I'm out of cash, still miles away from any other upgrades. It shouldn't take me a week of logging in every couple of hours to collect money to save up for a parking lot upgrade.

Extremely ad-heavy game. Gameplay took a back-seat while this is mainly about getting you to watch as many ads as humanly possible; requests to watch ads lines every edge of your screen. If you try to play this without watching ads, it would take you weeks to get the same progress as someone who watches all the ads gets in 10 minutes. - Can't design factory floor, only buy new sections. Buying some upgrades for millions of dollars each only shaves off a hundreth of a second. Mediocre "gameplay".

This is a bare bones microtransaction simulator. There are a small amount of different systems that don't even play off each other very well and each subsequent upgrade costs exponentially more than the last and feels even less useful. You very quickly, after only a few hours of play. get to the point where you have to pay to progress at any tolerable rate. Many other games like this that will give you a more engaging time for longer.

I enjoy myself good grinding time waster. Especially when they are satisfying, just enough monotony to make the pay off delicious. But this is ridiculous there are so many levels but good luck getting to them with how EXCRUCIATINGLY slowly this game forces you to earn. It is just trying way too hard to run out your patience. And ya know if it had a better soundtrack, maybe a bit more gameplay features, and didn't constantly crash and make you lose progress it might have succeeded.

Pretty fun and interesting game. Still a few bugs that need to be fixed (ie. Workers get stuck in a section and can't get out usually fixable if you exit the game and get back in after a while but then it happens again minutes later, thus slowing down everything, random car parts glitching through the assembly line etc...). Otherwise, decent idle game.

Cool game, fun and polished...for the first day or two maybe, after that you pretty much need to pay money to get bonuses and perks, otherwise you won't be making any progress because everything becomes too expensive, even the simplest upgrades will consume all your money and you'll just have to wait another hour or two (max waiting time for free version) to get the money back to afford the next upgrade and so on, eventually it becomes too slow, even watching ads won't help. Dissapointing.

Has potential. As mentioned in other reviews, there are tons of ads for power ups in the game. Power ups are needed quite frequently to progress at a decent pace. I don't like the whole factory "reset" when you upgrade cars. Starting over isn't fun. Once you hit 4th car or so, costs are ridiculous high and takes too long to get money. Lots of weird quirks you can't customize. Gets boring after a while, so I'll install.

The game is pretty and somewhat polished. That's where the positives end. There's a constant request to pay 9$ for double earnings. It blocks the entire bottom left of the screen permanently. Doesn't pop in and out, just stays covering the bottom left of the screen forever, and it's large. On top of that, the ads are broken and they cause the game to crash and restart, often making you lose hours of earnings or other rewards.

This game was pretty fun for about two hours. Once you get to the engine, the game completely stalls out and progress is so slow you can play for hours without being able to make any significant upgrades or to prestige. It needs leveling, too, as the parking and getting enough employees are a constant pressure point and there's no reason to really bother upgrading elsewhere since the pressure point never really moves. Too bad.
