Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
54 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Scratches the idol management itch, as you'd expect from a game called "Idol Manager." Very nice production values and core gameplay, but could use more depth to aid immersion; at the mid/late game you will sometimes just be waiting around to click a box so a number will go up.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
6 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics are a mix of pretty solid 2D artwork and charming pixel art.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
5 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The soundtrack is upbeat and catchy, perfectly evoking the idol pop vibe, and sound cues help reinforce the tempo of daily planning and events.
