Hello all, I'm a big fan of incremental games and "life building" type games. Does this fit that style at all? I don't know much about this one... I'd like to have some clue as to what is going on before I drop the cash. ojtitus Well-Known Member Jul 7, 2010 3,228 5 38 Male Canton, Ohio #3 ojtitus, Oct 11, 2016 Last edited: Oct 11, 2016 While it's basically a tap and swipe game with a life sim wrapping, it could be a lot of fun but currently you get so many random bills added to your ongoing bills that you constantly are in debt or borderline in debt and never have money to buy any of the upgrades or items. I already had to sell off the one trophy I won to cover random bills added one month, then I was evicted to following month and had to start the year over again because three extra added bills were added to my ongoing bills.

Biggest tip is if a good paying job is not available play the next best job for a few seconds then quit and a better paying job should be available. So, I recommend this game but be aware it is not a mindless tap and swipe game. metalcasket Moderator Staff Member Patreon Silver Patreon Gold Patreon Bronze May 24, 2010 11,065 1,342 113 Deepest Circle, Hel #6 metalcasket, Oct 11, 2016 Would you recommend starting over even if I can start off on Year 2?

I was tapping the door like crazy, to no effect, and died. IPhone 6s Plus. ojtitus Well-Known Member Jul 7, 2010 3,228 5 38 Male Canton, Ohio #10 ojtitus, Oct 12, 2016 Are you aware that you character has to be in the doorway to enter? I only ask because I died the same way before because I was not able to make it to the actual doorway before dying but now I have the Diet Crystal, so I don't use a whole hunger bar in one month anymore. I just have to remember to eat before I pay my bills. sine909 Active Member Nov 20, 2010 40 0 6 California #11 sine909, Oct 12, 2016 I'm really enjoying it. It's very polished, has a unique style, and lacks any IAP, which means there's at least an intent of reasonable balance/progression. The mini games are simple but fun and varied - it feels a bit like a Warioware at times (although more like 20 seconds each). I'm not sure why a lot more iOS games don't do this (I recall a few, but not many). Mrwubbs Well-Known Member Feb 19, 2012 498 0 16 #12 Mrwubbs, Oct 12, 2016 Yea I tried everything ac166 Well-Known Member May 15, 2014 383 12 18 #13 ac166, Oct 12, 2016 I tried this and wasn't impressed. The designs all seem a bit cropped on my screen (iphone 6).. which is just a tiny bit irritating. It's also pretty buggy.. sometimes things don't work, other times you get the wrong result (I tried dieing of not paying bills, with a full hunger bar.. but it said I died of hunger.. random). slamraman Well-Known Member Patreon Gold Aug 27, 2011 2,511 8 38 #14 slamraman, Oct 12, 2016 Last edited: Oct 12, 2016 Man, I am loving this. Like Dumb Ways to Die crossed with Reigns. It's not like Reigns really but gives the same level of excitement when you do well - I'm only half way through year three and absolutely loving it. Haven't come across any bugs. The only thing I'd like is some kind of Game Center integration. Unfashionable, I know but I really miss Game Center. This game p*sses all over FIFA Contest of Champions. sine909 Active Member Nov 20, 2010 40 0 6 California #15 sine909, Oct 12, 2016 After a few hours of play I experienced none of this, but I am on an IPhone 7 Plus.

Lol slamraman Well-Known Member Patreon Gold Aug 27, 2011 2,511 8 38 #17 slamraman, Oct 13, 2016 i've unlocked all but one of the New Year's Resolutions but don't have any photos in my 'Memories' tab - also have no idea how to play the one mini-game I've unlocked - i think you have to dance differently to the other two characters on the screen but I just can't work it out. I still really like this but am 6 or 7 years in and can perhaps see me tiring of it soon without leaderboards or achievements and no more jobs. I'll try and keep going to get all the mini-games. icoker Well-Known Member Mar 26, 2013 652 10 18 #18 icoker, Oct 14, 2016 It really does seem like a great game. But I only get a grey screen without being able to get to what I assume would be a menu or main screen of some sort. On an iPhone 6S with iOS9. Deleted and reinstalled, rebooted my device, all to no avail. Any tips? ArcaneCircus New Member Oct 11, 2016 1 0 0 the Netherlands #19 ArcaneCircus, Oct 14, 2016 Hi icoker!
