Nice concept, but... Should be able to follow different career paths life isnt linear, and you certainly dont need to be a handyman in order to become a sous chef... should be able to take out a loan in order in order to pay for things when life gets hard. The game is so long, in order to become president you're going to need to rack up HOURS of game play. Add a time booster. And obviously... remove some ads. They're tiresome and completely over the top. Have ads for more money makes sense.

If you don't pay real money be prepared to watch ads every 2 seconds. You see an ad about once per minute and if you want to get anywhere in the game you need to continuously watch ads. I can't believe I wasted my money on this game. If I pay $6 for a silly app I shouldn't need to pay more money within the next hour if the game is any good. This one isn't. So unless this is intended as a political statement about the difficulties escaping poverty, I just got scammed.

Do you want to watch ads every 30 seconds just to make the tiniest amount of progress? Do you love being forced to buy things that you dont want to buy just to survive? Do you want to be stressed out for two because it cost 620$ so you can have a (dude) and then you realize that its impossible to make a positive amount of money in this game. Then down load this game. 10/10 would do again :(

It has great potential, it needs a little work. It is almost damn near impossible to get and stay ahead. With everything that you need in order to succeed, grow and get promotions makes it difficult. Can't grow if your paying more out in bills then what your making. But have to make those sacrifices in order to get promotions without spending real money to get anywhere. So great potential for a good addicting game but needs a little work. ....It also has a lot of gliches it's constantly freezing

I was enjoying the game. However too many ads. As soon as u click the return button it's an ad but you have to 1 min to play an ad for money. I dont like the dude feature because how are you gonna progress with a friend. When I 1st started the dude wasnt in the game. It recently added. You just needed a mutt. Which is way less. How practical is it you are struggling in life and have to pay 600 for another man just to get a side hustle and be working only 125=775 ]plus living expenses. No sense

Don't bother impossible to play without ads and hard to play with the popups. There's no way to plan your life. You have to play completely buy the game like understand doing anything to get ahead but you can't! Could be a great game if there was a way to enjoy it instead you're rushed through it and waiting on things then there's ANOTHER AD then r.i.p

The game is a cool concept but there's a few problems. The game forces me to buy stuff that is way over my budget and instead of allowing me to keep leveling up on jobs without, it puts me in debt then forces me to watch nothing but 30 ads instead of allowing to progress on my own terms. It's best to uninstall at this point. That just ruins the fun altogether.

It's an ok time waster, haven't been able to get very far without paying money. Dont buy the power ups they don't really do anything. I'm convinced you can't win the game unless your willing to buy money, you get to a point where you dont make enough to buy the items you need to advance to the next job. Oh yea and there is an ad every 30 seconds or 3rd screen change, and no where to pay to make them stop.

DON'T BOTHER! This game is designed for you to spend your real money! I've played 3 different profiles; I've played for a good amount of time, watched a bunch of ads, even racked up over $30k as a bum before I even got a job or a residence but you STILL IMMEDIATELY lose money. You are forced to watch minute long ads after you click 2 or 3 times on anything! EXTREMELY ANNOYING! Game freezes as well. Very poorly designed game as far as the time & money or income & expense ratio. Uninstalled!

After failing miserably two times I filled out a large Excel spreadsheet to compare the required expenses to possible income at every single level. After the first introductory jobs, you start getting a negative net income and it just gets worse and worse. The game is heavily designed to require in-app purchases in order to survive. Very annoying, don't waste your time.

You are literally required to either watch ads every 30 seconds, or pay to play in order to progress the game at all. Any job that you get has requirements that are outside of your budget. So if you're making 1.5k in game, the requirements to keep that job cost 2.5k and the only way to make more money is to watch ads consistently. Otherwise, you can't progress in the game. If you leave your phone, at all, you end up losing all of your progress because you're not watching ads to make more money.

Not worth the insane ads, and I guarantee, the ads are costing the devs money. They've rigged the game in such a way that there are few if any real reasons to keep playing. You can only move up by making yourself worse off, and watching ads constantly, which means eventually you get sick of the ad break, and stop playing (i.e. no ad revenue generated).

Looked like it would be fun, strategizing a way to get out of poverty, but it's only a linear progression, between careers that are wildly different (Why do I need a mechanical certification before I take culinary classes??). You cannot choose to "rough it" to save money, or opt out of luxuries (like a dude friend or girlfriend, who cost you a lot of money per month for some reason???) to try to make ends meet. You don't want a dude? You can't progress to the next career level. Uhh, what??

Really wanted to enjoy this game. It seems like it's a ton of fun honestly. But, the Ad situation is beyond terrible. Every other time you switch to a different menu (need to do very frequently) you get hit with an ad. Ads for bonuses are one thing but this absolutely ruins the game. Signed- played for 10 minutes and uninstalling due to ads.

Got an ad every 5 seconds (I eventually paid to stop them) was very irritating. It seems to be difficult to get ahead with the jobs paying little as you progress. Also the days pass extremely fast. I'd change making each day last atleast 1 minute, instead of 1 second because the education is very expensive and it charges at the end of the month, so you lose the money faster than you gain money (only way to not get charged, is to watch the ads until you get the certification) This game=pay to win

There are way too many ads. I could play for 5 minutes, and only be in the actual game 1 of those 5. Everytime I do anything, start a new job, upgrade the happiness/health level, upgrade the food, transport, housing or family level, there's at least a ads. Not only are you continuously forced to watch ads, but the game is pretty much impossible to win. The items required to get the next job will cost 3x more than the job pays. It's very irritating and I would not reccomend the app to anyone.

It was fun for less than 5 minutes. It tells you EVERYTHING to do and buy and it forces you to pay for things that are more than you make, your whole time is spent playing the casino or stock exchange and if you do manage to FINALLY get ahead you just have to spend it, it jumped over the next car and house which I could have easily afforded to the 10k car completely passing the cheaper one, for every job you have to get things that cost more than you make. Watch the clock and wait, cash grab.

This game was fun at first, but the ads pop up every couple minutes, ads for 500 dollars. This game gets you stuck at side jobs. And most of the time I start over. It's so annoying that we have to watch an ad for 500 dollars though. You have to wait a little bit, because if you try to watch another one right after it gives you a message like, error or something. If you want to actually win you have to wait a super long time for all the money to come in.

Made specifically for in app purchases and insane ad revenue. It's almost impossible to get past 20-30 minutes of gameplay without having to start a new character or pay for in game money, just to survive. I love a challenge, but when the game sets you up for failure from the start, it's basically useless. DO NOT DOWNLOAD! I regret paying for no ads since I'm immediately deleting this game...

Read every other review, they all show what's wrong with it. Quick overview is before you make any purchases every 2 taps on the screen pops up an add. After any purchase the adds go away but your job is never enough to keep up with expenses. The only way to play is to constantly pay money, watch constant adds for 500 bucks, or get lucky in gambling. Even if you do manage to keep up somehow, you have a life span and get 80 years of play time before you have to start over.
