Was fun, now full of crashes and loaded sets. A few years back I played this game and completed it in full now I can barely get through one turn before I get spinning wheel and it closes out the task I was doing. Does it the most on the bank. It's almost like it doesn't want me to pay back my debts nor wants me to spend the wheel.

Seems like a great game at first, the first few levels are fun, but by level 4 it's just a frustrating game of absolute luck with the odds stacked against you. Essentially every spin you lose income or cash to the point where you have a small $ stockpile and a near zero income just to survive. To maintain this status you rely on random events to provide you with more cash so you can continue to just barely squeek by. As soon as you acquire an asset worth owning a random event will remove it.

What could have been a great turn-based game is instead ruined by the utilization of a monetized random-choice mechanic: the spin wheel. The amount of spins you have are limited and you can buy more. The spin determines what your action is for the turn. The vast majority of spins you use are wasted: random events with usually minimal impact on your game, and random choices of businesses to invest in.

It's fun the first few play throughs but I have no idea how to three star levels. It's completely random on your luck. If you spin the wheel and lose your job immediately go ahead and restart. I've beat multiple levels in fifty spins or less and can't get three stars

The game is cool like Rich Dad's Cash Flow, but mobile, and a little faster and more grown up without the cartoon characters. There are issues though. I'm on level 3, and I get fired from my job, but then I get a raise, and then get hired for a new job. So the game needs to keep track of events a little better. Also, some of the events as are unrealistic, like a vacation bonus from your employer (no such thing). Or $60 for a coffee. Some things need to scale better, and stocks need a ticker tape.

It's an ok game. Kind of does a good job of reflecting real financial decision making. However the spin counter concept seems arbitrary and after you reach the end of your spins the game becomes kind of pointless... The next levels should be based off of prior success. Not starting from scratch again. Just like in real life, if you succeed at building a solid financial base and income, you can use that to fund greater ventures that are perhaps more expensive and higher risk

It was alright for a quick playthrough. Didn't take long to beat all the levels. But after I beat the last one, I wanted to see how far I could get. After about 2 days my save data disappeared and I had to start over. But I didn't want to go through all 5 levels ago and wait for those spins. So I just uninstalled.

It's pretty fun. I think it would be better if the game taught self-reliance concepts. Getting and staying out of debt is way smarter, and offers more peace-of-mind, than just making sure your income is higher than the debt you're slowly paying back. Overall though, if you did learn some of the principles taught by this app, you be much better off and helpful to yourself and others.

High value app for business beginners imo. Please continue improving and make a stage with a higher emphasis on advancing in the stock market, also a more sophisticated stock market experience. Or keep it as it is, it's fine but gets repetitive after time and I wouldn't mind seeing it becoming something you can play longer term without losing the cognitive dopamine rewards lol. Thanks!!

I love the fact that it is a ike simulation game and allows investment. The only reason I didn't give it 5 is because the rate a which you loose your job isn't realistic and the amount of small repairs or vacations, etcetera isn't normal. It'd be nice if you had the option to upgrade certain properties or business that you own. The option to choose if there is dual income household & kids would be AWESOME.

First, I give credit to the concept of the game. Other than that, this game is better off being consider a slot machine. Invested real money into this game because of the concept only to find that its intentional rigged. The spins go for 3 to 4 depending on your progess in the game (guest or not) Which boils down to them baiting you to actually sign up and make a profile, if you play as a guest it wonderful lol The situations your faced against is also deemed by your progress. Not worth it.

Gameplay balancing issues, I incurred a mandatory expense wherein I have had to buy a super expensive luxury item which has resulted in me going into bankruptcy early in the game. If the point of the game is to teach you financial discipline then there should be an option whereby a luxury item does not become a mandatory expense especially if it's not going to contribute to the cash flow. The graphics are okay and there is little replay value as everything seems repetitive after you earn 3 star

It could be done well, but it feels like it relies on artificially limiting game play with spins that need time to refill. Spins should be tied to an individual game instead of across the board, if you're going to have it at all. Way too much chance to be fun and there's not enough done to educate besides introducing some base terminology.

Love this game!! A fun, simple game of chance mixed with some good common sense of personal finance. Only suggestions would be 1) when making investment when they land on the wheel to give an option to pay in full, no loan, 2) provide challenges with time limits and very specific goals such investment balances, payoff large amounts of debt, etc and 3) a list of personal finance tips and quotes or suggested book purchases. we can view in the app.

Good game. The pay or wait for spins are a little over the top but the overall game itself is well thought out and a great introductory teaching tool. It's a little glitchy (screens sometimes lock and dont go away) and one bug makes it almost unplayable at times (where you are supposed to lose your salary but instead it reduces your entire income...including passive income). If they fix that one I'd give this game a 4 or 5.

I believe it then I start to an upgrade of the first version. But personally I like the first version better because you can see what the computer was doing and figure out if they picked up the deal you passed on. The first version allowed you to have a choice between a big deal or small deal this just gives you what it wants. I would prefer to have the old version if I can find it again

I had envisioned almost this exact game after playing a similar one through a browser. So far, the implementation is great! It's like the games Life and Monopoly had a prodigy child, with a focus on increasing financial income and overall wealth. I only have two issues with the game. First is that multiplayer can only be achieved through linking the game to your Facebook account. Second is that some stock prices never seem to change, while others do.

I really want to like this game, but there is a lot of work that needs to be done on it. UI is inconsistent, it's impossible to find detailed information about your finances, and the whole game revolves around taking enough "turns" to win. I really just wish I could see more detailed information about my loans, like the exact interest rate. It also doesn't make sense to me that the gift spots on the wheel can be either positive or negative, when the shopping spot is already always negative.

Love the game. But the wheel glitches any time I open the bank, and paying to remove ads apparently only removes forced ones, not optional ones, which doesn't matter anyway because if you try to watch an optional ad the entire game crashes. Also, certain popups appear twice in a row, which adds to the annoyance. This used to be my favorite game, but for some reason this time upon downloading it's riddled with bugs.

Help! 6/30 Been down since 6/18/24. 5/23/24: Finally back on Play Store! Operates great! I love this game, but wish it would be updated with a little more variety! Edited 5/20/22. This game has ways had server/spinning issues, but the last 2 weeks has been unusable! Emailed the developer and no response. Some of us have paid for it and are unable to use it. It is my favorite app! Please fix to not spinning endlessly and it barely loads....so PO'd! 3 weeks later this app is still floundering!
