Description

Startup Company is a business simulation sandbox game. You’re the CEO of a small startup and are eager to grow your company. With a small investment, you set out to build an amazing website to compete against the largest tech giants in the world and dream of becoming the most valuable company in history.


Your company’s success depends on your ability to run and manage a website. You’ll have to continously develop and improve features, while increasing hosting capacity and effectively run marketing campaigns.


The city offers you offices in all sizes and shapes. It’s up to you to select the most suitable. It’s your job to organize and decorate the office while keeping your employees happy.


Your employees are a vital part of your success. As you grow, you’ll have to continue recruiting more people. Over time, your employees will start demanding more of you and the company. It’s your job to keep them happy, before your competitors sends them a job offer they can’t reject!


There’s no website without stable and reliable servers. As your website attracts more traffic, you have to move from virtual servers to your own fully featured hosting center.


The goal is obvious: becoming the biggest website in the industry. It’s up to you if you want to buy and merge your competitors or simply outrun them till they go out of business!

About 30% of my time in this game was in idle or the pause menu, and the other 70% was spent 'looking for the fun' whilst being engaged enough to keep going. But now I realise I saw everything the game had to offer at

The game is too simple and small to the point that it gets repetitive and falls off immensely quick. There is just so little to the game, and what makes it even worse is the UX, there is far too many things to

It's a good game, I just struggle to find any kind of replayability out of it. Once you'd played it through, there's not much fun to be had in doing it all again. However, it is definitely a solid game, and worth a

Some people seem to struggle to get into it, but the game is honestly not that hard. It may require some patience but I found it to be very rewarding and somewhat addicting. It is a lot of fun.

Startup Company: Is a fun business simulator, but it is definitely only for certain players. The idea is great. You start as the CEO of a small tech startup and try to grow your company into a major website business.
