What players say

Players say the game is an addictive band management simulator similar to Game Dev Tycoon, but note the tutorial is overwhelming and the gameplay can get repetitive. It originally came from mobile and offers good value for its low price, though some find it unnecessarily challenging and the sound design lacking.
