Jonesville is such a fun and underrated game, it’s way more addicting than I expected. It’s got that old-school life sim vibe but with a modern twist, and I’ve honestly had a great time playing it both solo and with friends. The random events always keep things interesting and I wish there was more. One minute you're thriving, and the next, you're dealing with a market crash or car repairs. One thing that would help keep things interesting is if you could mess with other players without it affecting your character. I really hope the devs keep supporting this game because it has so much potential. I’d love to see more content and updates in the future. Definitely a hidden gem that more people should know about. UPDATE: The game is still getting updates and a lot of love. I appreciate the effort that the developer(s) have put into this game. Amazing work!

Big fan of the game, the Developer took the old Jones in the Fast Lane concept, made it fun and quick with a modern UI, and then added his own twists and features to create a new feeling and extended multiplayer game. It's time management, but in the longer games there are features to make the repetitive tasks pretty automated. The items, job bonuses and player stats lead to many paths to victory, and the random events or tasks can be turned down or off to allow a purer competition. It's pretty close to family friendly, and fun to play long or short games with pals.

Brings back memories of playing Jones in the Fast Lane but adds a bunch of cool new features and is more accessible. Great that it can be played online. Could do with a little bit more polish however the developer does seem quite active with fixes and improvements. I love the little details like the hot air balloon flying away when you buy a ticket!

This game is a nice looking remake of Jones in the Fast Lane and I was very excited towards playing it. Sadly, the game does not recognize my sound card. A problem I haven't encountered since my DOS days - so maybe this game is true to form after all! I played a few minutes and it looked really promising. But the lack of Audio was eventually the killer for me and I had to refund it. It might be a great game if you can get the full experience. My rig is Windows 10, Sound Card AE5-Plus (SoundBlaster)

My only regret is not finding out about this game earlier. Pays excellent homage to the OG with added gameplay elements. Visuals and variety of maps superb. Instantly sunk 3.5 hours into it. If you’ve ever played jones in the fast lane you need to instabuy this. Thank you devs for making this game a reality!
