Best Mobile Game O.A.T.
I’ve been playing this game since I was a kid and always seem to come back to it. Wish there was a sequel or something but for now I’ll just keep grinding out Grand Prizes.

Been playing this game for over 10 years off and on. Never fails to entertain me. After 10 years of playing this game, I finally got the grand prize for the second time and I have reached $250 million in game.

Honestly this game is such a fun little time. I’ve probably bought this game three times now across three phones because I come back to it often. It’s straight forward, easy to pick up, and the excitement level never really drops. Just won my first grand prize on my third play through on this phone. Love this game. I highly recommend.

Still Amazing
Been Playing for years on and off and it is a great help in passing idle time. One thing i have hoped to see with the game is different modes of play. Even if not different game modes being able to have different time limits on the career length would be great. Also maybe it is too much to ask, but having the ability to hire a console developer would be absolutley awesome if done in a way that you must hire them wisely. Overall great as is and could only get better through added features and playthrough options.

Pretty good…. With some wrinkles
Fun and addicting, exactly what you’d want out of a phone sim game. But sometimes its focus seems more on addicting you then entertaining you; it’d rather show you an ad then let you progress. But still, fun enough to be addictive.

Simple, Nostalgic and Fun!
I played this back when it was free a few years ago, and it’s just as fun as it used to be, and worth the extra few bucks.

Crazy Addictive
The game offers an amazing challenge, that keeps you hooked. PSS would love for them to add more things like creating a deadline/release date, more console options, and support to online games like keep the servers up.

Almost perfect!
What an amazing app. All I can say negative about it is that it is a little easy towards the later levels, also I would like to see more characters and content. A lot more than I was expecting. This game is awesome!

Best game
like an in depth clicker with a perfectly easy to grasp concept, some of the sysyems in the game aren't explained well which requires some guides to perfect, but I always come back to this game

Addicting
This game scratches an itch in my brain I didn’t know I had, no pay walls, no adds, no pay to win mechanics it is literally a game made by gamers for gamers about games and gamers. The perfect combo and execution I hope there are updates to add more content to keep it interesting!!

Amazing But Needs Updating
This game is great I love this game it is so addicting to get top 10 best selling games and have a top selling console, but however I hope someday this game gets new content like now the last year is 40 and PS3, Xbox 360, Wii U and maybe even PS4 Console’s to develop for and also I think it would be cool if you could draw your own pixel art for the consoles you can develop Thank You for reading my review and if you work for Kairosoft please consider my feedback and suggestions!

Love this game NEED. MORE. NOW.
Honestly have played this game on and off for years now. It’s really addicting. I just need more. Why cap it at 20yrs? Why not 50? Some of the top gaming companies are STUPID old.

One of my favorites - 😊👍🏻
This game by Kairosoft is honestly one of my favorites. I enjoy playing games, so being able to make them and see the company slowly rise from the ground up is super fun. If you’re looking for a first Kairosoft game, this is it.

Addicting
This game was a lot more addictive than I anticipated. Great game! I have no complaints, especially since I went out of my normal routine to comment on a game that didn’t force me to give them ratings. 😅

Amazing
I love this game I’ve played it so many times over the last year or so and I want to give it 5 stars but I feel like there is a lot of untapped potential. I feel like there should be more to do with rival companies like keeping track of their sales and the types of games they’re putting out. It would be cool to maybe see a random company work it’s way too top just like you are. I think adding things like “perks” or “abilities” or “skills” to employees could add a whole new depth. Like maybe certain training has a chance to give an extra boost, or a certain type of game can make an employee wor

Best Mobile Game Ever
You can easily spend hours on it before you know it. No extra purchase, no in game ads. Just focus on enjoying the game.

I really like this game.
There’s something about the combination of a really simple gameplay loop and the ability to name your own games with the guides of genre and type that really makes it stick for me. Completely worth it.

I bought 3 copies myself 10
The title is a little bit of a joke as there’s a rating system in the game for your games and this can be one of the reviews lol. Honestly love this game, been playing it on and off for years. Super fun!!!

The best game dev game in the world. Full of character and fun. This is one of my favorite games of all time. So simple, but so rewarding. You can play for hours. I love how it parody’s great games and consoles. A great little interactive look into the history of gaming. If you love old consoles and games you’ll love this! Amazing how Kairosoft games can be so fun and relevant 23 years after release!!!

I love this game so much!!! Can we have a new content update or GameDevStory 2?
I love simulation type game and this is probably one of the best! The gameplay is simple yet super addictive. I could play for hours! The 2-bit graphic is adorable and I cannot have enough. But I almost max out with everything already (after playing for less than a month) and I want to play more. So, I would really love to have new characters, office, and new features,… being added to the game!

Simple and always fun
I enjoy Kairosoft’s library of games, and this is one of the games I really enjoy playing without having to worry about being online or spending more money. It’s simple, dig the graphics, and has a high replay value.

Zero doubt
I have zero doubt that this is the greatest mobile game ever made. I say this as a gamer, a fan, and a game studio owner(PC & console). Don’t hesitate, just buy it. Be warned though, it’s addictive. I have purchased the game on 7 different platforms and would happily buy it on every new platform for the rest of my life. I have at least 500 hours playing this masterpiece, so trust me when I say it’s more than worth it at $30 and it’s a steal at $7 or less.
