Fun, addicting, and surprisingly deep gameplay! The game introduces new concepts, minigames, bonuses, and more as you level up which keeps gameplay from becoming repetitive or stale. Recommended for casual gameplayers and/or anyone in the animation or similar industry, as it's likely very relatable!

It's gonna be a no from me, dog. The game is cheap so I won't bother to ding its bizarre aesthetic or small scope. But that doesn't excuse the game design choices here.
It seems like people are kinda saying this is more of a "time management" or an idler. Which I wish I knew going in, but it's irrelevant ultimately. I still wish it wasn't like that, though. The "Animation Studio" theme is too thin. You hire people and they have jobs and they fill a meter. They have job titles like "writer", "editor", and "animator"... sure. But I'm not being given decisions like... what's the title of the animation I'm making, what's the genre, what's the rating... literally all of the creative components that would make me feel like I'm actually running something like an animation studio.
You just make a product like a TV short or an internet short by clicking that button. Then your workers fill the meter and it's done. No other steps. There's side mini-games that earn you perks or money or whatever. But those also lack any narrative connection to running a studio. You do stuff like play a slot machine or catch crap falling out of the air.
Do I need to play longer for these kinds of options to open up? I got through the tutorial but it didn't seem like those kinds of functions existed.
A lot of these choices are just weird, man. The mom character that's your nemesis and your mentor, the mini-game randomness, the purity choice, I think you can sell parts of your soul to get some quick cash? I guess you could call this unique flavor but it's kinda offputting.

I’m hooked. I’m truly feeling the excitement and stress that a real animation studio manager would feel. It has cool mini games, an annoying producer, a sarcastic mother and a myriad of production and corporate employees. It’s a fun challenge as new demands appear at every level, like keeping employees happy making webisodes, episodes, and films. Try doing that while making enough money not to go bankrupt. Loved choosing the titles and genres of my TV seasons and watching them go viral. It was also exciting when one of my seasons got renewed. Next level, I get to compete for awards. Can’t wait.

This game is extremely addicting! I absolutely love it. The animation is cute, the dialogue is funny, and the gameplay is amazing. The game is very realistic, but there are some unrealistic, humorous options thrown in to keep it really entertaining. I highly recommend trying this if you are interested in animation or are just searching for a new fun and fast-paced game.
