then theres the google app versions which lmao... im going to ignore right of the bat because its insane how google lets so many games literally rip off games that aren't theirs

They're all using a "template" like you see in many "Super market" games, except instead of trying to be partially original like this game, they just go for the "completely lazy ripoff" route to 'success.'

As a store sim this is not a good game by mechanics unless you just want simple

Not that I'm a expert or fan of these games persay but

I do own kings of retail and as a shop sim alone that game has four times the mechanics to this game

I got this because the roadmap promises a usp based on the cards

That's what this dev needs to focus on make those cards work

Not exactly a rip off actually. They just implement the main gameplay and adding some original thing they came out with. For this kind of game which would have a very limited option to add a new thing, its the card design, furniture, UI, etc. As long they didn't copy paste everything, its not a rip off. Calling it a rip off, is like calling Call of Duty as a rip off to Counter Strike, just because they have same first person shooting gameplay.

Also, about this, have you checked this game dev sites? They released some of similar game on google app too, most likely the one you see came from the exact same dev, which mean its not a rip off either, just a ported game to a google app.

fair enough, i suppose it was harsh to say its a rip off,
i should have at the least used a clone instead,

as for the template viewpoint,
i suppose it would actually make sense to go that route,
as a foundation that's solid and works, and make your own chances as progress is made.
