Such a cool/fun concept but with disappointing execution. There's no strategy. Every problem has three possible choices, and it's pretty much entirely random which ones are good or bad. There should be at least some strategy like ways to research or look into the market of certain things so you can make educated decisions, not just pick a random one with your fingers crossed.

Great premise, poor execution likely done on purpose. I never got an ad, but I did REPEATEDLY run out of stamina during the rapid clicking that is encouraged and necessary. No problem, but then you get the normal ad to buy stamina. Full screen ad, and ANYWHERE that you click except the tiny X in the corner confirms the purchase. No verification, just loss of premium currency. Don't get me wrong, you get what is promised. But it is designed theft.

I'm only lvl 4 in-game, but I think this is excellently made. This is way cooler than I thought it'd be. I have two complaints: 1: I don't like having to wait real-time hours to collect money. Maybe add a paid DLC that allows for content gameplay instead of waiting? I'd pay $10-15 for that (maybe more)! 2: Navigation is not always intuitive. Especially when trying to "go-back". Maybe increase the size of the "x" button. I love this game so far! Well done!
