Biztopia is the first of our mobile business simulation games and winner of the Powerful Answers Award.
Wow an app that's a game about running business I'm totally there. There are so many concepts at work here between supply and demand and running a shop you feel like you're doing the real thing. The graphics are pure and comical, I mean that in a good way, like I laugh with joy.
Great game and good job!
I too have some games if you'd like to look at them and let me know what you think. Check out the dodge dots and let me know what you think of it.

Similar to Gazillionaire, full screen ads, 10-turn daily limit
I have loved playing Gazillionaire for longer than I can remember, and this game reminds me a lot of that one. You buy and sell based on what you think will bring you the most profits. You can buy insurance, expand inventory when the chance presents itself via an auction, set advertising prices, and set wages of your employees. I did not see chances to do any traveling. Sounds are minimal, just like Gazillionaire. I didn't like the full-screen ads that would sometimes appear, and I saw a popup saying the turn limit per day was 10. Boo!! You can avoid this by paying $7 according to the game's description. I'd have done that for an exact Gazillionaire clone, but not for this game. Biztopia is nice but Gazillionaire will always have its own charm.

Impressive looking and addictive
This is a beautiful, whimsical and surprisingly addictive game. The graphics are some of the funniest, original and stylized I have ever seen. Seriously, the graphics are so unique they are truly artistic. The game play is simple and fun. I haven't dug too deep into all the interesting corners of the game, but I can see that this is a game I will be spending a long time enjoying. Bravo to Lavamind and their clever and imaginative employees!

Fun times
As being a casual gamer I am always worried to try and play simulations as those are often too complex for me. Not so with biztopia. Don't get me wrong it is a complex game however the flow is so intuitive and if needed help is offered at every level. Graphics are done with a lot of love to detail and of course you learn a lot about money. Great game for everybody !

Capitalism à la cute
Ah, the trials and travails of capitalism! Few games impart them as effectively as this little gem. None do so in a more playful and cutesy manner. Fancy yourself a captain of industry? Aspire toward an empire of commerce? Or are you just looking for some serious fun? This perfectly executed business simulator hits the mark (or euro, rather, or whatever your currency of choice may be). Put it on your list of acquisition targets.

A game worth playing while waiting for your plane
This new game from LavaMind offers an alternative for those of us who don't want to kill things. Its fun, pretty easy to use and makes you exercise the grey matter. As mentioned, I found it easy to use on the IPAD but haven't tried it yet on the Iphone. Absolutely worth downloading. Cheers, Bill

Beautiful Game with Solid Gameplay
I’m a sucker for steampunk, I’ll admit it, so this game already has a leg up on the competition for me, but the design and gameplay are so well crafted that this is going to be on my home screen for a while. If you’re a fan of city-building games you’ll appreciate this one.

Really fun but....
Great game. It had me hooked for an entire round. I ended up losing which made me want to keep playing until I conquered. They only allow you to play 10 turns a day. I ended up deleting the game. The full unlock is $7.00. I've paid for full world RPG's for that amount and felt I got my money's worth. This game is worth at most 2.99, even then I would be hesitant. Give it a try, but don't get too hooked. Very disappointed!

Reminds me of Lemonade Stand
This is a fun game once you get situated on what to do. You can be a monopoly on a product & apply what u learned in economics re supply & demand. You also can take risks regarding getting insured and this game teaches folks that being socially responsible has it's rewards.
