Very basic graphics, but the game is quite fun. Jolly good show.

Very basic graphics, but the game is quite fun. Jolly good show.
Cool idea, I don't usually like this type of game but it was pretty well executed!
It's lacking in its presentation, but has a surprising amount of depth. I still couldn't figure out a winning formula.
The descriptions and the random events are also fun.
Was a little confused of what to do when I started but eventually figured it out. It's a cool concept buying stuff to try and build your empire and it plays pretty smoothly, nicely done.
Would've been cool if when you bought something it would show up in the room and wander around (if it's mobile) just so you can get a visual representation of where your money has gone and give some movement to the level. Would also help the level feel less bland. :)
Played to completion. Interesting simulation for 48 hours work. There weren't that many negative effects in the game, and after about 30 days I was getting money so fast I couldn't spend it. I would have like to see more challenge, but given the time frame for the competition that is understandable. Also noted an odd bug where it said 995 of my pushers defected (I think I only had 2 at the time).
Really fun, the "news" was a nice idea.
The game has some good ideas. Even though the graphics are minimalistic, the simulation is quite good. I've spent several minutes trying to build my "crime empire".
Game pulled me in at the start even if I'm not good with this kind of games. I came quite far but when I accepted few missions and hired a hitman,bodyguard and police bribe, my money started to drop. It's a nice game overall.
LOL nice concept of a big criminal corporation xD nice work man! very fun!
It wasn't entirely clear to me what the function of some things were. I thought hiring muscle would keep the police of my back, but it only got worse. I also didn't really get what the difference in effect was of hiring a hooker or a drug dealer. It did manage to get pretty far though.
Strangely addicting. Lacking in presentation but has a surprising amount of depth.
Similar to Drug Wars with a bit more depth to it.
Nice work for 48 hrs.
Very interesting idea.
