Overall pretty fun clicker game. I chuckled at it being launched on 4/20 at 4:20 PM and costing $4.20. I joined the Discord from the in game link and the developer has been pretty quick to respond about any bugs or feedback provided, so that's a huge plus. I reported a bug about a freezing/lockup issue I was having and the developer pushed out an update within an hour that fixed it. I play a few other clicker games that I have between hundreds to thousands of hours on, I could see this one becoming one of those as the game expands and continues to add content. For only $4.20, this is a fun pickup.

This game is too addicting!! The talent tree options allow a variety of strategies to build your drug empire, and the prestige option allows you to try out each strategy. Early on it is challenging to grow, with all the Heat and cost of workers, but that's what makes it fun and engaging. The customer drops are a great way to catch up on your inventory and are fun mini game within the overall experience. I've had the game running nonstop for the couple of months

A fun game to leave up while you sleep and wake up to lots of money! It's fun seeing the different kind of lackeys you can get and try to find the best of the best. The mini game is also fun, gives you free supplies and coin to use to buy more places and characters. The prestige system and the ability to buy the whole town eventually makes you want to keep playing. Awesome idle game for sure!

Butterfinger butterfinger! Great game. I love a good idler and this scratches that itch. I'm still early on in playing, but I am enjoying so far and will update my review later when I've played for a while longer. Great game Fat Rooster

This game is honestly a lot more fun than I expected. You start out small, but pretty quickly you are building up your own underground empire and trying to take over the whole city. I like that it is not just clicking and making money. There are actually a lot of systems going on, like hiring dealers, upgrading buildings, managing heat, unlocking talents, and trying to keep the police off your back. Being able to buy and upgrade different places like farms, labs, warehouses, car washes, schools, City Hall, and even deal with the police department makes it feel like you are slowly taking control of Shady Pines. It gives the game a good sense of progress because there is always something new to unlock or improve. I also like the dealer system because it makes the game feel more active even when you are not doing everything yourself. Sending dealers out, bringing in money, and expanding your network makes the idle part feel useful instead of boring. The heat system is cool too because the more money you make, the more attention you bring, so you have to balance growing fast with not getting shut down. It's way better than that banana game. Instead of just feeling like a random clic…

Rather dull even for an idle/clicker game.
