Your typical management empire simulator, this time based on an arcade parlour. The game itself fullfills what it promises, it presents 12 different levels with main objectives to beat to continue to the next one, which makes every stage feel unique.
The main downside I feel with this game is that the first level will introduce every single mechanic it has to offer, with nothing new going on for the next levels. While they have their differences in how you should approach each one of them, the learning curve of the game can be tough, being a must to learn everything on the very first level in order to be able to succeed after the tutorial ends.
Another thing I found weird was how you obtain Stars, one of the currencies the game has, until the third level, I found that the amount I was obtaining was really small, but once I stayed a bit on the third level to farm those Stars before going to the next stage, I was overloaded with them, not needing to pay attention to the number I had.
What I liked the most about the game was discovering which combination of items was the best one for an optimal building, the game keeps track of several stats depending on the amount of arcade machines you have, the food/drink spots and such things, but not telling what is the ratio you should have of everything, and being the player the one who has to discover that, I personally really like looking on how to optimize my playthroughs so that is a huge plus for me, but that would depend on the player's approach too.
