The graphics of the game are generally praised for their vibrancy and detail, creating an engaging and lively atmosphere.

“The graphics are colorful and vibrant, creating a lively supermarket atmosphere.”
“Its addictive gameplay, engaging challenges, and charming graphics make it a must-try.”
“The graphics and animations are superb.”
“This game is so bad, bad graphics, a lot of features missing, too many bugs, features we have need to be upgraded, and the devs are unresponsive when we provide feedback.”
“It's clear the devs are new to optimization because there is no way that this game lagged my PC to the point of crashing three separate times within a 10-minute span, two of which were from trying to open the game, and one of which was while changing the graphics settings to half its default.”
“I gave up after it crashed when I tried to change the graphics.”

The gameplay is widely praised for its engaging and addictive mechanics, vibrant graphics, and intuitive user interface, which together create a smooth and enjoyable experience. Players appreciate the laid-back yet challenging nature of the game, although some express concerns about the inclusion of a clothing pass reminiscent of unpopular "battle passes."

“With its engaging gameplay and addictive mechanics, it offers a unique experience that keeps players coming back for more.”
“Its addictive gameplay, engaging challenges, and charming graphics make it a must-try.”
“The gameplay is very smooth; you can play for hours without getting bored.”
“Also the clothing pass badly reminds me of 'battle passes' from Conan Exiles, a practice they have intended to shut down because of the unpopularity of the mechanic; odd that this game would pick it up as Conan is ditching it.”
“But after 5-6 hours of gameplay, I found myself losing interest.”
“The game mechanics are very well thought out, but they feel overly complicated and detract from the overall experience.”

Reviews on grinding in the game are mixed; while some players find it enjoyable and engaging, others describe it as tedious and repetitive, particularly when it comes to restocking items. The ability to hire staff can alleviate some of the grind, but many still feel that certain aspects, like restocking, need improvement to enhance the overall experience.
“The reason I'd rather be neutral is because, more so than most business sims I've played, it becomes both tedious and repetitive before long.”
“Which is very tedious when your system has 5 boxes per item.”
“Anyway, so yeah, restocking is a grindy nightmare, needs work.”

Players find the monetization system somewhat burdensome, as daily and frequent charges for rent, bills, and advertising can feel excessive, suggesting a more streamlined monthly payment option would be preferable. Additionally, concerns about inventory management and the potential loss of stock when interacting with shelves highlight frustrations with the game's economic mechanics. Overall, while players enjoy customizing their stores, the financial aspects could benefit from adjustments to enhance gameplay experience.
“Why can't the rent, bills, and advertising be charged for 1 month in-game time instead of every day for rent and bills and every 4 days for advertising? It should be 500 for 1 month, not 4 days. It's a little expensive for a 4-day period.”
“I have reached a standpoint of just ordering inventory, running ads, and watching the store run.”
“I noticed that I can fit 40 boxes on the storage shelf if stacking was available in-game. I know the clothes, shoes, and boxes are stackable, but only if you place them on the floor. If you accidentally pick up the shelf and press 'E', you lose all your stock that is on it, where all the boxes should fall on the floor.”

The game's optimization is currently a mixed bag; while some users report smooth performance and enjoyable features, others experience significant lag and crashes, indicating that the developers may still be learning how to effectively optimize the game. Overall, the optimization issues are notable, especially given the early access status.
“It runs smoothly, and I love that you can hire workers.”
“But since it's still early access, that seems like a minor optimization to be done.”
“Incredibly laggy and unoptimized.”
“It's clear the devs are new to optimization because there is no way that this game lagged my PC to the point of crashing three separate times within a 10-minute span, two of which were from trying to open the game, and one of which was while changing the graphics settings to half its default.”

“If there are no empty boxes, they just throw the items at you, which was pretty funny the first few times.”

“I don't see the issue, but the local police get all funny about it.”
