Hobo - Real Life Simulator 12+

Great potential

I’m going to go ahead and give you guys 5 stars because I think you have a great base! I feel like this game is already so much fun, but it has an amazing potential to be fleshed out more. I’d really love it if we had more of a main character customization. I feel like that would make it feel more personal and less like just numbers. It’d be interesting if you got to control more of your life than numbers or add things that could affect the numbers. I’d like to see some life choices you could make. Maybe adding a family and how the extra people would affect your financial situation. I love the concept for this game and haven’t quite seen something like this before. Please consider getting more in depth and personal because I think you guys are onto something wonderful here❤️
I’ve decided to add a couple of other things here lol. First of all I’d like to thank you guys for the lack of ads, that’s really cool and honestly you deserve to put some in there if you want. I would also like to make a suggestion of having a better in game guide. Like maybe more help and explanation on markets and properties. I think some adjustments to make it incredibly easy to understand and succeed at would help this game a lot and ease some of the frustration I’ve seen from other reviews❤️

Developer Response ,

Hey Sarah!

Really appreciate the review and feedback! Thanks for supporting the game!

A few notes in response:
• The next update will have info buttons that hopefully clear up a lot of the confusion!
• Wrapping up businesses next update and then we’ll be thinking about crime and a family aspect! I think your note on making the game a little more personal is a good one and one that is lacking. We’ll think about that and how we can incorporate it.
• We hate ads as much as the next gamer and knew from the beginning there wouldn’t be any! Thanks for the thanks!

If you have any more feedback, feel free to email me at jon@chimpanzee.io

Amazing concept

This game provides a basic blueprint of wealth generation. Its focused around your lifespan which is deducted automatically by trying to progress in the game. To combat the effects of that, you must utilize other features of the game to improve your life expectancy, such as taking vacation, eating a healthy meal etc... It’s absolutely addicting but it also seems like a never ending story of gain, if you don't die. Ive died about 5 times and now Ive finally made it to graduating as a doctor, a career I haven't even started. So far, Ive amassed over $2M cash and I have a net worth of over $7M. I like the idea of paying off loans to decrease the debt you have accrued, because you can then purchase another business through a loan if necessary, leaving the first business paid off, thus providing you %100 equity when selling the property, minus any fees associated. I would love to see growth in regards to the concept and how in depth it can potentially become. Keeping your expenses low, and accruing as much money as possible before incurring too much debt is essential to the longevity of playing. Getting a bank account is imperative once you gain $1000. Getting insurance on your properties is important to pay less when floods and other things happen, with no insurance you pay more in fees, hence not having a deductible. I cant wait to see what the developers incorporate moving forward.

It’s hard at first but then you can make millions

I see people who are giving this game low reviews simply because they don’t have a strategic way on how to be rich in the game. It’s pretty hard in the beginning since you don’t know what you should focus on. I have restarted many times, went to debt many times and I ended up finding a way to make millions in this game without buying any in game purchases. So no, it’s not “pay to win” as some people are saying it in the reviews. Sure there’s bugs here and there but you can’t say you can get anywhere in the game if you haven’t really tried or thought about ways to make yourself rich. If you want advice on how to start off, here’s how. Beg a ton and buy the dog twice (starts with $50 and then $100). Keep begging till you reach $600+. Get the GED, buy bus pass, phone and to get the fast food job. Go to debt and get bachelors, get the sales rep job and keep it. Focus on getting promotions and raises and save up on getting commercial businesses. Or you can flip houses but doesn’t usually work out. This is my strategy and I died when I was 83 yrs old with $67mil LOL.
