Difficulty:

Easy

Time Spent:

10 to 20 Hours

The Bottom Line:

"Too short"

I usually don't spend money on iPhone games , mostly cause their playtime is significantly smaller that Ps3 / PC game titles , but this one got me hooked , with all it's old-school jRPG characters , and the theme that was covered by the game - game development. The RPG core mechanics of the game was a bonus.

The game offers decent tutorial to explain the basic actions , and afterwards it leaves you to you own. Too bad the options are limited , and there is no real escape of the usual stuff you can make (either accept contract job , or develop independent game). One playthrough is enough to get you well-acquainted . The next one , you're almost bound to succeed.
The game mechanics itself is quite well made. Different attributes contribute to different skills/success in developing the game , and there's also the money factor to be wary of . But once you get the cash machine running, you'll get more funds and upgrade the team's abilities , and that leads to monotonous top titles producing , and eventually boredom.

Still , i think that you pretty much get solid bang for the buck with this one.
Too bad it's (relatively) short , and has practically no replay value . Still , i'd recommend it to anyone.
