About Startup Panic

About this game

Living the Dream

Manage your time as a bedroom programmer. Pick projects, contract-work and vacation days to get by, then start to build some passive income through your startup.
Beware though: Once you start hiring your first employees and upgrading your office, you'll attract the attention of competing businesses...

Don't Panic!

  • You decide how each project goes and what to focus on
  • Spend a week training your staff, or earning money, or building features... but choose wisely!
  • Upgrade your company in the skill tree: Will you take longer vacations or cheaper air-co?
  • Hunt for new employees and hire the ones that fit your style: Social butterfly? Marketing expert? Lone Wolf?
  • Compete with rival CEOs for new users in your region, and then expand out by building new headquarters on a world map!
  • Hurting for cash? You can take out a loan or search for investors, but don't think it'll come for free...

While somewhat simplistic compared to similar management sims, Startup Panic has enough depth to maintain interest for a while and even offer a degree of replayability. Hardcore fans of the genre may find it too simple but more casual fans and newcomers to management sims should enjoy this one.

Amazing Deal, fun game - pretty cute but brutally difficult for casual gamers.

Yeah, badboy - love the design, the charming asthetic. It feels like a grassroots project that delivers quality and pleasing graphics. The difficulty seems brutal with maintaining your time and available cash for your company. Its easy going just with one developer. It looks challenging. Something that im looking forward to. Getting for this low price is amazing.

A good game with one major flaw. Worth a buy on sale.

This game is quite fun and I lost my first run 5 hours in because I misread what I was supposed to be doing. My main complaint is the amount of time you have to send your employees on vacation. The motivation factor really needs to be modified to make the game more enjoyable. Still a good game that I would recommend to anyone who can find this on sale.
