A delight

Kairosoft games are cute, compelling, and clearly made by a small group of folks who love games. Pick one up, you won’t be disappointed.

Cute way to spend some time

I’ve played a lot of Cairosoft games, but for a free version, this one is probably my favorite. I love the graphics and although at some point I do reach the end of what I can accomplish, it’s fun to rebuild and start over trying different things and seeing how quickly I can improve. The ads aren’t annoying either and I can often play for a long time without being bothered by one.

not very good.

i dont know why kairosoft release a predecesor of pocket academy and made it free, first i thought it was the same game that i played back then. Too bad it has less contents, a lot of buildings werent existed in this ZERO version. What bother me so much is that you cant even rotate or move buildings which is a pain in the face. Good thing that it is free game after all, and theres no micro-transaction things like they did in their newer version, and the ads also lesser which made the game more enjoyable.

Great Game

This is a very good game and is completely free to play. If you want to play a Kairosoft game this is a pretty good game to get. Only complaint is not too much content and there are some ads (not that many though). Overall, very good.

Why?

This app is good but every time I have a classroom place one or two students can’t get in because it isn’t connected to the main gate. Doesn’t make sense especially when we can add more then one gate for them to get in the school. When I click on the classroom it doesn’t tell me it’s not connected to the gate and is fine. So why is only some students and teachers affected by this. Overall good game though.

Predecessor to Pocket Academy

The Japanese version had two games, this one, which is a prequel, and Pocket Academy, which is the sequel. I had Pocket Academy before and when I downloaded this I neglected to read the description and didn’t realize a lot of the features were taken out. This is a good game but it pales in comparison to the original Pocket Academy. If you’re wondering, here’s a full list of the missing features in this game, that I could notice off the bat: 1. Student relationships don’t exist. 2. No clubs. 3. Cannot change uniforms during play through. 4. Strangely, most of the characters in this have brown hair. In the original, they had blonde hair and mainly blue eyes. 5. Less structures. In the first town at least, I feel as if there aren’t a lot of facilities. I’m only at year 6 and I’ve gone through all of them already, and I have at least one of everything. This is a good game if you’re thinking about downloading Pocket Academy but want to try it out first. This is a full game and not at all a demo, however it’s just missing a few key components that the second covers much better. Good game for beginner Kairosoft fans! It’s free, so how can I complain?

It’s interesting but similar to PA1. shall we have magic school sim that have more creative events or class, potion recipes, fantasy monsters, etc. (And hope it can be a paid game without in game purchase)

I get that this is a prequel

But I have been unable to obtain/find the Art Room. If it is not available in this version please remove it from the Spot Guide. I also wish for specific listed differences, side by side, between PAZero and PA, either in the Help menu, your website, or on the Kairosoft Wiki. Thanks for making great games! I wish I could transfer my data from my android tablet to my iPhone <3 I own and love almost all of your games and have put many hours and dollars into them but I’ve been unable to use my tablet for months now with no possible fix.

Love Kairosoft

I have every kairosoft game that is in English. I have been playing their games for years. I was so excited for this as I have seen it in Japanese for awhile. But I’m a little disappointed. I thought it was going to be a second version to pocket academy. But it seems to be a prequel instead. The combos from the original aren’t always the same. There seem to be less buildings, combos, and features. There are no clubs? No relationships? I’m only on year 7 of the first map. So maybe it’s just not in this map as all the maps are normally different.... but still. I love the simplicity of these games with secret intensity the further you get into them. They are highly addictive. My favorites are still Edo Town, Game Dev & Dream House.
