What players say
It took me a while to finish this one- since you need to level up to Rank9 but worth the time, it keep me engaging until the end. I Finally realizes that when I receive a visit or speech window from Kairobot, that means I am almost at the end of the game or the last achievement, I'm still new to Kairosoft but so far it's worth every penny.

This game was my entry to kairosoft's games and i can happily recommend it to other people unfamiliar with their games or the genre. Very simplistic mangament game with adorable pixel art and even after 30+ hours it still has me hooked. There's sometimes issues with the controls, but never to a point where it ruined the experience.
So far so great! The game has a flow that is similar to Cafe Master Story, which I found to be incredibly smooth. The pace feels quick most of the times, but not to the point you feel lost. You often get rewarded and through the rewards you feel the game flowing forward. Plus it scratches that itch for those of us that enjoy airport tycoons!
