I take a break, but I always come back to this game. It’s really fun and you can play with no Internet.

I remember playing this & all the sequels during my middle school days 10 years ago and they're still so good! Most of the Kairosoft games used to be completely free with no ads but days have changed so I get it... Most apps now require purchases and subscriptions. I am just glad that they're still arnd for me to play <3
