The verdict
A chill, addictive gas-station sim with many minigames and satisfying upgrades, but short, grindy late-game and pushy dev ads. Skip if you dislike repetitive chores or have an ultrawide monitor.
Great for
Players who enjoy chill, repetitive sim chores and watching a business grow, ideally bought on sale
Main risk
Repetitive grindy loop that runs out of content after 10-40 hours, plus performance problems
What changed in the last 30 days
100 recent reviews
Recent negative reviews mostly cite a forced in-game ad and frequent announcements for the developer's new game, plus crashes and ultrawide/performance issues. Fairly confident about the ads.

What players love
Lots of variety and minigames
Mentioned in ~1 in 5 positive reviews
“For a simulator game I expected it to feel a lot more tedious. Instead it seems to try and counter that with a lot of different minigames”

Funny physics, jank and Dennis moments

“the physics and the jank make it fun in ways a more polished game wouldn't. You can literally fling cars around with a broom.”

Unplayable on ultrawide monitors
