  I have an ongoing HunieCam Studio problem, and have started looking for a cure. Sadly, this isn't it. Not a great sign when a game is mostly words, and there's a glaring spelling error ("This is where we wiil make history") in about the fourth thing you read. I've been in a number of bands myself, and I honestly wish that success could be boiled down to the kind of simplistic decisions you make here - e.g. buy the singer a better microphone! - but hey, it [i]is[/i] just a game. I'm sure that running a camgirl empire is more complicated than HunieCam makes it look, too! That said... There's an art to these "management" games, and this just isn't one of the more inspired ones. It's functional, but there's not a great deal that says "fun" to me. Perhaps being so close to the industry depicted didn't help - no, I have never managed a harem of camgirls, despite the filthy gossip you may have heard on the street! - so perhaps those with no band-related experience will find more to love. There's no denying that the appeal of this type of game depends heavily on the context/setting and the weight it carries for the individual, unless the gameplay is so utterly compelling that even boring things like...er...[i]farming![/i]...can emerge as exciting for some players. Don't get me wrong, this game gets the band basics right: yes, you have to write songs; yes, you have to rehearse; yes, you have to do social media; yes, you might have to work some boring "day jobs" to avoid running out of cash. But really...it's pretty superficial and somehow lacks the strategic "depth" of something like, well...HunieCam Studio (I'm biased and completely unobjective on that note, I know...so sue me)! The "story" also didn't really get me in, given how simplistically it treats a "job" that is, ultimately, more about balancing psychological issues between bandmates than anything as straightforward as "spending more money on a recording makes a better song, and guarantees a hit" (somehow, a poor recording of a song apparently reduced the quality of the [i]song itself[/i] at some point...pretty sure that's not how it works)! Actually, you know one of the most charming things about HunieCam? The distinctive [i]characters[/i], and their witty (and well-voiced) snatches of dialogue. This game TRIES - albeit, without the voice acting - but it doesn't get there. It's a very cardboard-thin view of what makes musicians tick, at best. Ultimately, I went "bankrupt" so many times that I threw in the towel; repeatedly going back to my last autosave proved too tedious in the long run, especially since I couldn't really tell what I'd done "wrong" in the first place. But it was already getting extremely repetitive, at barely over the one-hour mark, and I can't imagine what tremendous twists it could've thrown at me to spice things up at a later stage... Oh, and finally: you might have four musical genres, including "Rock", to choose from for your fictional band's adventures...but the game's sole soundtrack is the most banal, faceless electronic music you can imagine, and it churns in endless circles. So maybe put on a good album if you're going to bother giving this one the time of day (I started by putting on one of The Cure's weakest albums, and it was [i]still[/i] one heck of an improvement over the in-game sound)! Verdict: 6.5/10.

  I really wanted something like this, so I'm a little biased I guess. It's fun tho. [b] stuff i liked [/b] - Progression is nicely paced. May be a bit fast paced for some. - Doesn't go too in depth. I can just zone out and listen to podcasts. - I like that they just use real artist's names and it's not all cringey spoof names. - Little dialogue bubbles every now and then between characters. It's never funny, but I get a kick out of it somehow. [b] didn't like [/b] - The game sound gets old pretty fast. (you can turn it off) - No character customization (besides your name). You choose 1 of 4 well endowed women who are themed to the genre you pick. No option to change clothes or hair or anything. They also pre-select your bandmates for you and it doesn't look like you can fire any of them. No going solo or anything. Devs, please keep working on this aspect! - I can and will overlook the aesthetic in most areas of this game, but my drummer and DJ are really creeping me out. - Kinda cheap-feeling. Overall, 6 bucks ain't too bad for what ya get. If you like music and simulators, give it a shot.

  Very repetitive and limited gameplay. Go find a copy of Rockstar ate my hamster (from 1988, so there won't be a hot lead singer which might be the best part of Music Awards Manager) instead, it's a better music management game than this.

  As someone who is a BIG fan of band manager/rock band tycoon type games, I was completely disappointed by this one. There's no customization options for your band members. The gameplay is VERY juvenile and feels like an exact clone of several other games in the same genre. UI makes no sense. There's no randomization option for band names or song titles. Just feels very basic, and should be offered for free, to be completely honest. Save your money and buy a better game, like Rock God Tycoon, or even Superstar Band Manager (free on Android).

  A very simplistic, unbalanced and shallow game which gets repetitive real fast. There is no Band management or "putting a band together" you are stuck with the 3 guys 1 girl setup. Musician improvement is exponential so the better one already is the faster he improves further(there is no skill cap). Quality of your songs is aritmetic = skill of musician (A+B+C+D) x bonuses = song quality and then you record it for further % bonus depending on money. Musicians get better secondary skills with bought instruments which then slows down their skill increases by training etc. so you are better of to train to 50% skill and then buy the top +50% instrument. Also when maxed by items (from 80 to 100%) your skill does not grow so when you unequip the item you are back at 80% no matter how much you might have trained. Also the instruments or choosing thereof is a big lie. You just have 4 music styles with an instrument level 1-10 and you cannot choose what each band member plays. So yeah 4 * 10 * 4 instruments to "choose" except more expensive is always better and you always have to use the one for your genre. (also apparently a 30 mil dollar mic. for pop is still worse than a 100 dollar mic for rock when doing rock) Choosing where to do concerts is pointless you just do a concert in 3 last opened spots until you have enough fans to open a new spot. You concert every day if you want to. Song Quality has little to no impact on Concert results. (there is a cap for song quality and even with 6 max quality songs the results are the same as with 100x worse songs) You can only do concerts in arenas where you have the appropriate secondary skills - just go buy instruments for that skill and continue playing your style. There is absolutely no need to change styles and there is no difference in what style you play. Doing a tour is pointless as you get ca. 50% the money and fans you would have gotten by just doing the everyday concert. Inventory and items have a very bad UI in the second half of the game: 1. limited inventory spots and no scrolling to see latest items 2. no sorting and no possibility to get rid of the old items 3. items should be unique but they still stack to allow a + 5 * 60% song bonus for 5 similar glasses etc. 4. price for items gets up fast but then slows down and come year 3 you could afford so many it makes everything else pointless

  TLDR: a funny small mobile game which would benefit MUCH from some added complexity. As it is, I’m giving it a conditional recommendation based mainly on price. Calling it a simulation is a slight exaggeration :) It contains also some major errors such as Riga located in Belarus and other geographical mistakes, typos (Vein instead of Wien). Also, the names of the actions which are giving money are, well, strange if not inappropriate at all. Steal a car? Why not "rob a bank" or "invade another country"? Some needed features: - a timer while writing a song, - a possibility to add more than six songs to an album or setlist, - a possibility to release more than one single per album and/or to choose the track for the single, - a possibility to record/release live albums and compillations, - a possibility to sort songlists and other lists by various headers, particularly by quality, - a possibility to go on solo career, - a possibility to have more/less musicians in a band, - interactions between musicians in the band affecting their playing/writing performance, - a possibility to collaborate with other artists, - music festivals and possibility to perform at them. Other flaws: - Even if you are popular, money from concerts and tours are still small. - Effects of events seem completely random, mostly I don't feel the effect has much to do with the selected action. - Recording a song could be a minigame also or at least some operation, not a completely automatic instant process granting a fixed quality bonus. - Reasons for awarding albums and singles are also unclear.

  Somehow boring. Background music: futile and inappropriate. Game Content: "Go broke Simulator"! Tutorial: Not helpful. Purpose of the game: Find out by chance how to progress in the game, to get a blow in the face again by the random generator...

  I watched a "Dot Matrix Printer Printing a Color Hot Dog Banner. In Real Time." its 40mins long and was more entertaining than this game. -No character customisation nor band member choices. -Everything looks like its made in Flash instead of a game engine. -The game throws you straight into “touring” instead of starting small and getting into making music. -Apparently there are only 4 music genres and all 4 of them have 4 band members. -The game feels like it runs on auto without you doing much at all. 4/10 - “I play all the right notes, but not necessarily in the right order.”

  I'm not one for not recommending a game but I just cannot recommend this one. It is boring and repetitive with no sense of accomplishment. Not worth your time!

  I wasted my money on this thinking that it would be more music based considering the title. It's literally just... click this button, NEW UNLOCK!, click this button, NEW UNLOCK!, new annoying character, click this button... over... and over... and over... If you really want a manager game and have $5 to spend then go ahead but if you're looking for something that's actually worth your money, steer clear of this.
