From Zero to Tycoon Reviews

I downloaded this game because of how cool the ad looked. When I started playing it was fun but it lags so bad and my phone gets hot and it seems like I’m not the only one dealing with this problem. It’s quite unfortunate that I can’t enjoy a simple game because of the annoying lag it has. I hope you know you’re making a lot of people very upset please fix or just delete the game it’s a waste of time if it just doesn’t do what it should.

Phone only resolution. Looks bad on iPad.

The game literally lagged my phone (iPhone 13) to below 1fps and was so bad that even after minimizing FromZerotoTycoon , my phone still ran like a computer from the 70s. It was only when i fully closed FromZerotoTycoon that this stopped. Aside from that, I'm not even fully sure what the point of this game is, so i can't even look past the unplayability of this game for the gameplay because the gameplay in question is essentially just the suika game that was relevant like a year ago. Also the dollar bills not being circular means that once they've formed a wall, that's game over immediately as they're basically set in stone and you can't move them by dropping the coins on them. DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS GAME! WASTE OF TIME

FromZerotoTycoon runs slow and hot. But if you watch, you see millisecond blinks of what looks like ads. So my suspicion is they’re running invisible ads while you play.

I am reviewing this game as a 1 star simple because of the absolutely appalling advertisement they created. This person sitting in front of a bunch of computer screens inside a building states “it’s so easy to be homeless”. Really that is what you think? How about FromZerotoTycoon developers that created this game take whatever they have in their pockets out and walkout onto the street and stay their with nothing for just 1 week and than tell me how easy it is to be homeless. I was homeless for almost 2 years while I lived out of my car that ran maybe half the time. It is NOT easy to be homeless.

As I’m playing this game, I see little “blips” on the screen. I think it’s odd, but keep playing. My phone is getting VERY warm. The blips keep happening and then…the screen starts to quickly flash the blips, multiple times in a row, so much so that I can read what they say. One said “trafficking” then it says “could be $ex trafficking”.
That was enough for me to stop right there and delete FromZerotoTycoon . I considered continuing play so I could take a screen shot, but I’d rather not risk it.

Honestly, it wasn’t that fun anyway.

This game isn’t even that fun, just another time-waster. And no, you can’t play this game without an internet connection, so you have to put up with being interrupted every minute. With so many other options, why bother?

Can’t even open it only loads to 91 percent and stops

The game is stuck on a 91% loading screen. 🤷🏽‍♀️

Game is a time waster at best. Decent game. But it’s riddled with ads and and an annoying bee.s energy system. Do not play unless you wanna feel like throwing your phone.

I like this game. It’s quirky. But it makes my phone super hot. It’s like FromZerotoTycoon is doing something shady in the background.
..
Update - FromZerotoTycoon is continuously running ads in the background. That is why my phone is running hot and so many other people are complaining about lagging.

Just not good

This developer is using characters from AdVenture Capitalist by Hyper Hippo to advertise this game.

I have been trying to play this game for the past week I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game open and close it many times still wont load past 81.7%

i cant try the game because it pauses at 91% took minutes of hours for the entire game to install cant rate it if i cant play

Game loads to 91% the game only fully loaded once truly aggravating

…instant delete. Don’t waste your time.

Runs horribly slow for such a casual game. Even the adds show the game stuttering and struggling to run.

Let’s just say this kid WAS homeless why is he making roughly 400 dollars a day? That’s 10k a month. Homie is a poser to real homeless individuals. I can’t believe I still considered helping his cause. This is outrageous especially when a snowman cost 1/10 of a new iPhone but this kid is spending money like it came off of trees. This is the most disrespectful zero to tycoon franchise I have ever seen. Next time make him SUFFER show him the real world.

Anyways the games alright I give it one star pretty repetitive tbh

Just loads to 91% and then nothing. I’ve deleted and reinstalled several times and powered my phone off and back on.

Not worth it just install idle miner tycoon if you like tycoons this is poorly optimized and has to many bugs and forces adds on you at certain points when you run out of energy

I’ve been trying to play the game but for 2 days it will load to 91% and just stop so couldn’t write an honest review of game play when you can’t get past loading screen

This could be such a fun little time-killer if it wasn’t ridiculously laggy after just a few minutes of playing, and if my phone didn’t immediately turn into an oven when FromZerotoTycoon runs… I agree with the other reviews that it’s suspicious, especially with those ad flickers with the other issues. Maybe wait till they figure things out before getting it…

I don’t understand the point of making it an energy based game especially when it just makes you spin a wheel every three second of playing. Plus it moves too slowly in the beginning, after five minutes I was already bored. I normally love idle games but this one wasn’t good enough.

I wish I could give this more stars. It’s fun to play when it works, which is about the first 30 seconds upon opening FromZerotoTycoon . But then it starts to lag severely and you can see flickers of ads being forced played behind the screen. After quitting FromZerotoTycoon , everything on my phone becomes extremely laggy as well with super slow Internet connection. It quickly drains your battery and overheats your phone. After only 3 minutes of playing I noticed a 10% battery drain and a hot phone. Boo.

Lag is out the door with the actual game
Half the time I feared it would actually brick up
And even after I deleted this excuse of a game
My phone was still showing notable amounts of lagging and unresponsiveness
SOMETHING VERY FISHY WITH THIS PUBLISHER
APPLE! IF YOU EVEN BOTHER TO ACTUALLY READ THESE! HAVE SOMEBODY LOOK INTO THIS PUBLISHER FOR FREAKS SAKE!

TLDR: LAG CITY AND FISHY EFFECTS AFTER DELETING FROM PHONE
DO NOT DOWNLOAD

Its like they are experimenting with how far an AI assisted game can get. The gameplay is basically watermelon game so far yet the coin interactions are unbelievably laggy. The ads cause my game to freeze entirely and there’s an energy system with a paywall for some inane reason. If the game wasn’t lagging the entire time I would enjoy it a bit more yet there’s rare infinite energy streaks which probably exist just to get you into a sunk cost.

This game lags like crazy. One minute it will run fine and the next coins are dropping slowly. The game also overheats my phone.

The game itself is a basic copy of that one watermelon game but worsened in every way. The energy system is inconvenient and also to fire the coins is slow and laggy like the whole game. The game uses ai in the opening which is certainly a choice. The game also drains battery and overheats the phone: I was playing for 10 minutes sitting directly in front of my fan, my phones battery went from 77 to 49 and it was burning to the touch. It probably could be fixed up to be a good game but it seems more like a low effort cash grab on the part of the makers than it does an actual attempt at a game. Also the kid is ugly

Like other reviewers, I wanted to love this game. I downloaded it knowing others had experienced lagging and it made their phone hot, but I noticed the developers had updated it and I was hoping it would work. It didn’t. It’s ridiculously laggy and my phone heats up in less than a minute. No other app does that.
The game itself is a good idea. Hoping someday soon they can solve the issues to make this a great game.

This game is extremely laggy and makes my phone very hot very quickly. I really want to like this game but unfortunately I’ll have to delete it, because it is just unplayable in its current state.

I have no other issues with any other games, only this one. I’m on the latest version, closed out all my apps, restarted my phone, everything. This game just needs to be better optimized.

I have a newer phone so I know there is plenty of space and all my other games run fine. However, this game lags and lags in every aspect therefore the two stars. If it worked properly, I would give it a 4 or 5. Currently looking for similar games so I can get rid of this one. That’s how annoying the lag is!

Fun game but drains battery super quick, phone gets really hot within minutes, and everything starts lagging. Has promise if it worked correctly

Plz fix this issue

I would like it more if it wasn’t so laggy I can barely play it

To keep a short story shorter. The UI flickered like ever 1-10 millisecond(s) durring the beginning of the game(tutorial I think?) UPDATE: It's still doing it whener UI pops up. I think it's permanent.

Fun game simple even but once you hit a certain amount of money it starts to lag and get choppy

The mechanics are good and the ads so far have been minimal but the problem is that I only played for 20 minutes at 10 minutes the game started lagging and stuttering. at 15 minutes my iPhone 15 started getting warm and at 20 minutes it started getting hot. I think if I kept playing for another 5 to 10 minutes my phone would’ve force closed the game. This makes the game unplayable and speaks of poor optimization on current gen IPhones. For that I give it 3 stars.

Super fun addictive game but it causes the phone to overheat due to the lag on the game. Would love to play it but not worth my phone overheating.

After reading many reviews and playing the game for quite awhile I’m pretty sure I’ve figured out what is going on here. It appears as though the game is running forced ads while you are playing the game. That is why it lags so bad and makes your phone get hot and also the sound quits after actually watching an ad. I was playing the game, sort of, it was barely plugging along but I was hearing the sound from an ad. So the ads keep running and the ad revenue keeps rolling in and the player isn’t supposed to realize that they’re inadvertently helping the developers line their pockets with pay for ads that aren’t being seen. Either that or this is one of the most poorly designed games I’ve ever played. Too bad because I was kind of enjoying becoming a tycoon. Guess I’ll just have to continue life as a plebe.

Why did you have to do this to the kid please change it😭

Every time I play this game, it says Loading (91%) for a few minutes. Then it’ll say connecting… on the load screen for 5-10 minutes. Doesn’t matter if I’m using data or in great WiFi spot, still takes too long. The game is fun, but not worth the time if I have to wait 5-15 minutes just to start.

I just got the game like 5 minutes ago and it is taking sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo long to load in so that is why I’m giving it 3 stars but if it loads in I’ll change my rating to like 4 or 5 stars so for now it’s 3 stars but if I don’t change it that’s ether because I forgot or I don’t feel like doing it.

it lags alot, and makes my phone overheat too, however its not hot enough to shut down my phone but still a good game, we just need the FPS to be good and stop the overheating, also im using the iphone 14 so yeah please fix these issues

Awesome simulation.very interesting

I have only been playing this game for around 10 minutes and I can already tell I am going to play this game every day for around a week or so. There’s one problem with this game though. The energy system is completely useless, and I’m sure most people hate it. Why does it exist? I’m sure the watermelon game didn’t even think of an energy system so why add it here? The lucky wheel exists so you can get infinite energy so why should you have one in the first place? You didn’t need to put in this extra work for this one thing.

Fun game, but it’s a battery killer!

Whenever you get the 6 card combo where you choose 3, you’ll never get one of the three best options. You always get the 3 worst ones. It’s stupid and shouldn’t have even been added if it was going to be rigged

It is fun, but there seems to not be a lot to do other than drop coins to merge for money. It gets very repetitive very quickly. So I only come back and play like 1 level a day. And the energy makes it annoying to have to stop and wait for that to refill. There should t be any energy mechanic at all with what the game currently is.

I like this game because I get to help a poor person become rich

Codigaiil

I love this game and so far I enjoy playing it a lot. I’d really love seeing where it leads but it keeps stalling out or something and every time I play it, my phone gets really hot. I don’t want to delete it. Like I said, I’d love seeing where it ends up and what happens so hopefully the developers can figure out what’s wrong and fix it. At least that’s what I’d like to see happen because it’s hard to find good, free games anymore. They’re all about taking your money and aren’t even fun to play.

It is good

It’s very interesting how you can go from flat broke to having money. All you need is just to me to know how to.

Great game even your just playing for fun! 😇

This game would be my favorite if it didn’t have such a terrible lag. I’d even spend money if they’d fix it. Super frustrating.

I use the wand to get rid of my tiny bills, cause I didn’t have any coins left and it got rid of both of my $50 bills that could’ve created 100 which I already had 100 and they could’ve merged and now I only was left with a $100 bill and have to restart all over again. This game is actually booty cheeks, but good at the same time, also this cured my grandfather, alcohol addiction, my cocaine and meth addiction, and also got me out of jail for molesting kids. This is the best game ever.

Just like I said in the title simple game but fun enough to keep me engaged. I like that there’s no pop up ads . There are some adds but only when you want extra boosts ext. for a free game it’s not bad at all . I recommend it fs

But it closes out background programs /apps especially if u r watching something in Picture in Picture mode
and i agree with the other reviews about the animations being slow when it lags
and if I play this game for a long time I won’t have any batter power left
also at a certain battery percentage the volume gets lower
I’m playing on iPhone 12 mini and on the latest version of iOS until iOS 18 comes out next month then that will be the latest version

I put five stars so my comment could get seen. I would say I love the game but I can’t even get in the game! Every time my game is loading it stops at 81.6 every time instead of going to 100. I couldn’t even play the game. & Ik it’s not my internet/wifi connection. Y’all need to fix this game so I can’t play it. But imma delete it for now !

i like this games
