Factory Manager

Factory Manager is a simple business tycoon game with the very dry premise of running a factory, presented in a kind of 1990's browser game aesthetic (that's definitely not going to win any prizes). Gameplay consists of trying to keep your head above water and your factory in the black, by producing things of increasingly complex nature and selling them for what little profits you have, and fulfilling contracts which are random and difficult. There's no reason such an idea can't work, other games have taken this premise and done well with it. Here, unfortunately, poor technical delivery is matched with poor game design and balance choices, as the game is needlessly difficult for the target audience of people who just want to build, grow and progress casually. From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. While there are options to change the resolution for the game, all this does is scale up the simplistic low quality art assets used to make the game, which makes little or no difference to the graphics quality. Without any other substantial graphics tweaks, it's not possible for gamers to improve the me…

I often find these simulation games rather amusing, and this was no exception. Unfortunately this game suffers f rom whath feels like severe balance issues. You're barely able to scrape a profit with the low tech items, and as you expand to take advantage of the higher tier items their price just tanks and raw materials soar. So essentially you become a car parts manufacturing wannabe with increasingly larger cycles of debt hoping to break through and survive until you can make an actual car. Whether it is worth it in the end I don't' know, but would imagine the price of cars would simply tank rendering most of your investment worthless. I suppose you could take a much slower approach, but the commodity price tanking and raw resource inflation is still very much present at lower levels so you're stuck scraping a barrel.

It's worth $2.50 but lets be clear this isn't much of a game. If the achievements were fixed then it would be enough to make it worth sticking with but this is an old game and as far as I can see no active development engagement. Still what do you expect for the price of a quarter of a beer at a football game?

Good work!Thank to developer. Not a clicker, casual game but a game with economic strategy

Im sure i bought this once?

Nice little game but you can expect a lot of micromanagement.
