This is a tentative recommendation. For those raised in the era of flash games, I would rate this similarly to a very high quality flash game in terms "game feel". The systems function well enough to make the game enjoyable for a couple of hours and the different cities allow for a roguelite "ascension system". With all this said, the moment to moment gameplay feels somewhat samey and there are certain strategies that feel somewhat degenerate with the amount of money they can generate. Not a bad pick if you really enjoy shopkeep games or are just looking to kill a few hours.
Cute game! Requires a lot of attention to game mechanics when you're learning it, but after a while it becomes pretty easy to win. There seems to be a few minor bugs still (people keep showing up at my store even after I hire a hitman to take care of them), and with an absent game dev I don't expect it to get updated.

I like the game its pretty fun for 6 bucks.
Throws away your run every 2 weeks. The rewards for doing a run is more random runs in the future. Way to not give me any reason to play.
So freaking frustrating. Finally found a way to [strike]price gouge[/strike] [i]deliver value[/i] to your customers, looking good for loan repayment day. But then you get caught fudging by a few thousand on your taxes and they make you pay it all back, with a penalty! Total rip off. And don't get me started on how the banks cheats at cards when you're just trying to scam some fast Bux. Seriously though, this game is addictive and well worth your time... of which it will consume plenty. I'm updating this review purely for the steam nominations. It's still super fun.
This was a super fun little game with lots of potential for growth. As I played it in early access form and can only assume it will be improved and added to from here, it's very much worth the low price tag. Took me around 31 hours to 100% complete, I found it a bit more challenging later on and you can be somewhat at the mercy of RNG, but still everything can be exploited or mitigated with a bit of forethought. I didn't get sick of the gameplay at all, as the different win conditions and unlockable perks change how you attack things further down the line. Had a lot of fun, looking forward to whatever the dev decides to add (if anything, I think it's great as is and perfect for the price).
The amount of strategy, you can use in this game, is amazing.
My only complaint is that it's too easy. I've beaten 7 of the towns and still haven't been challenged much by the game. So add some really difficult towns for those looking to push themselves. Also a choice of the abilities at the game beginning would be nice to give yourself some control over opening ability, but that's a nitpick. Great game so far, I just want to see more added to it, so please do developer.
This game was pretty solid. I definitely did not play the game properly though. I realized after winning about two or three cities that if you get the wolf of shop-like then the stock market becomes broken and will never go down. Eventually you can take out a large enough loan to buy out the entire stock market and from there your wealth rapidly increases winning you the game in a a few days time. If it were not for this the game would be incredibly fun, and challenging.
