Your motivation mechanics need work. The data stored in Reviews are also annoying, just display what tech/useability/aesthetic point I got last time, instead of making me re-calculate the point by only displaying the staff skillpoints and % used last time.2 found this helpful
The game and its mechanics are good however there are some aspects that have to be taken into consideration 1. Investors Kill the whole Experience , this happens because investors are just free money that anyone whos playing for the first time is willing to take, so removing them from your run and you'll have a much more complete experience. 2. There's A point when money doesnt matter anymore, its very frustrating that after having 250k+ Monthly income you cant expend it on anything, the only thing that lets you consume money in late game are reworking functions 3. You cant expand your Company over 21 Employees, this is something that really slows down the player and its clear that it was on purpose Besides those points the game is good, worth paying for it1 found this helpful

Broken Achievements, the games just not that great even on a discount1 found this helpful
Startup Panic is a colorful and often humorous business management simulation that attempts to capture the emotional rollercoaster of building a tech startup from nothing. Developed by Algorocks and published by tinyBuild, the game places players in the role of an aspiring entrepreneur who abandons an unsatisfying job to chase the dream of running a successful tech company. Rather than striving for hardcore realism, the game frames the startup journey through satire, exaggeration, and accessible systems that make it welcoming even to players with little experience in management simulations. The early stages of the game are grounded and engaging, starting with a single developer working from home and juggling limited resources. Players must decide how to spend their time between contract work for immediate cash and investing in their own product for long-term growth. This tension forms the backbone of the experience, forcing constant trade-offs between survival and ambition. Money is always tight at the beginning, and every decision—whether to upgrade equipment, train skills, or hire a new employee—feels consequential. The game does a good job of making these early hours feel perso…
Yes I 100% this game, would that mean after spending such an amount of time on this game and even getting all the achivements I could recomend it, well, unless you like bugged achivements that won't get trough unless you restart the game hopping it will finally work, during many of thoses retry I also come with a small (big) issue of the third competitor not showing up. Yes the game is good but frustrating, especially if you want to 100% it, i'd suggest to get it on sale at best.
