Prices
Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
14 of 15 markets; the rest we haven't asked for this title, not markets where it is unavailable.
Availability
We put this game to every storefront we collect. A market that answered not sold has told us something about the game; a market we never asked has not, and the two are never drawn the same.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 1.29/day in the week to Aug 28 → 2.57/day in the week after.

Updates
Build ids and update times come straight from Steam's PICS — the same source SteamDB reads. Patch history grows as we record new builds.

Themes across 928 recent reviews and how positive each mention is. A keyword signal, not full sentiment analysis.

I started playing this when I was a teenager and I recently discovered it again. I am so happy this game is still active. This is probably my first strategy tycoon game. I recommend this game if you like strategy and casual games that are not too complicated.

14 on sale1 answered “not sold”0 we did not ask
The 1 “not sold” market is read from the Steam price pass of Sep 10: that day the store answered for this game elsewhere and gave no price there. The 14 priced markets are the same rows as the table above — each the latest price we hold, dated here when it is older than that pass. The 0 marked “not asked” were not put to this store at all — either it has no storefront there or we do not collect it yet, and neither is a statement about the game. A refusal is a refusal on one day; a store can list a title again tomorrow.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 963.8/day in the week to Jul 16 → 4.57/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 23 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 14 places towards #1, and the 2,420 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Super simple at first, builds up over time. Great first game by the Dev's, I'm absolutely loving it
przyjemna gierka do której od 11 lat wracam
Classic management and creative decision making. I think its on mobile too. 10/10
新手引导有点问题,导致后期平衡性有点太难了。
Un juego bastante entretenido. 9/10 -All games
yeh its cool i made black and orange simulator
Really good game, my only issue with it is that i cant seem to get a 11/10 rating to 100% the achievements. maybe its just bad RNG but it gets to a point where it just sucks because you make 10/10 games constantly but wont ever get that 11 rating.
