The balance still isn't quite right, but it's ok. I did feel it was a little slow in places, and the fast forward function didn't really seem to speed things up very much, but had it been much quicker, factoring in the level of ease with which I was making money and adding new features, the game would have probably lacked any feeling of accomplishment. Is it playable?Īctually yes! As much as it doesn't break any new ground, the game is quite well put together, and I did find myself playing it for 2 hours solid with the 'just one more feature' mentality. It actually feels like they intended for it to be a 'pay to win' mobile app, and then changed their minds and just removed the micro-transactions and just fixed everything at the point it would have been if you had bought the premium upgrades.

Rather than developing multiple games trying to find one that will be successful, this game follows the progression of just one product, your 'startup' app, and each development is a 'feature' in the app which attracts more concurrent users, which in turn generates money. Much like Game Dev Tycoon (and Game Dev Story) you start in your apartment as a one-man team with limited skills and funds. but I'm not sure they've succeeded this time. That in itself is not a bad thing, sometimes a twist can refresh a concept and make it feel new. At best, this game is a mashup of other games to make something slightly different. ![]() It's safe to say that Startup Panic isn't just a copy of another game in the genre, but the developers clearly took inspiration from a few of the existing offerings. Beware though: Once you start hiring your first employees and upgrading your office, you'll attract the attention of competing businesses. ![]() Pick projects, contract-work and vacation days to get by, then start to build some passive income through your startup.
