Despite not having mods this improves on the PC version in every way so far. I'm loving playing this again, and it's on the go! Seriously worth a buy. If you love video game history and love simulation games this is the one for you. 5 stars for sure.

Just as great, if not better, than the PC version. I've been waiting for this to come out for mobile for so long, and this exceeds all my expectations. Definitely my favorite sim game, and now I can play it anywhere with no compromises in functionality.

Great addictive game wish they added more content than just a few new things from PC version i just can't stop playing. I actually played this more than most triple A games it's a rare gem

This game rocks. I don't usually buy games but research indicated this game is great. So I bought it. Can truthfully say that buying this game makes me feel real good about giving these guys my money. Keep up the great work.

Tried it on PC a while ago but didn't like it. Now I've made a few games and I just dropped my phone and cheered because I got 8.8/10 On a game I made in my second year. Easily 10/10

Great management sim. Please add the ability to name the game at the end of development rather than just at the beginning. The amount of time I forget and end up with Game 55 is frustrating!????

I've been playing about an hour and I am having a great time. It is fantastic building games and hoping they'll be hits. The crush of a flopped game and the elation of a success are brilliant.

Is it wrong that i am modeling my own gaming company on what I learn here? Is it wrong that I lost my first company because I spent too much time building this one? Is it wrong that I'm stopping this review here to go make more games? I THINK NOT!+

I already voted for this... And wrote a detailed review :( sorry you guys are having the comments and reviews removed. This is ridiculous

I have this game both on my computer and my phone, and i am glad they made the phone version the same with some new little things changed and it all works out. Keep up the good work guys! Both game versions give me hours of fun

C70%
by C####:

I don't buy games much for phone but this one had my interest after seeing it reviewed on Flipboard. Easy to play, looks good and runs very well on my Motorola. Once I worked out best combos game did become easy and I couldn't make my programming team any better. I go back now & then just for the enjoyment.

I don't usually bother with leaving reviews but this time I had to make an exception. I have waited for this game to come on mobile for a long time, and what can I say, it was worth the wait.

Gives you faith that mobile games will emerge from the cesspit they seem to be stuck in. Absolutely brilliant game. Great value. Endless replay. No ads or microtransactions!

I dot know really what to think of it yet. But from the 1 hour ive played, I can see this game is VERY challenging, but Just as rewarding. One small slip up could leave you bankrupt, and reset days of progress, which is quite scary, but it is a great look into what it's really like to become a game developer, I love it so far, and hope to be amazed by what this game has in store for us.

One of my wishes has come true: mobile Game Dev Tycoon. I loved it on the PC and I love it on my phone. Same timeless gameplay, smooth controls...the only thing I'll miss is mods (love my slider percentages), but once again, worth every penny and EVERY second spent.

At first I was hating this game because I keep failing but after a but its f time I got the hang of it and now my company if doing fine, although I think the intro could be a bit more forgiving with the game rating.

Cute game only played an hour so far but it's fun. Very similar to Kairosoft tycoon type games but it may get different as I progress.

A great game about making games, from a great company. In this game, you must balance different aspects of game development which vary in importance depending on which genre and even platform you are developing for.
