monetization14 negative mentions
  • Unique grocery store simulator with distinct art style and animations that stand out in the genre.
  • Engaging management mechanics that keep players busy organizing stock, setting wages, and running their store.
  • Active developer support and promising potential with steady improvements and added content.
  • The game suffers from numerous bugs, including freezing, crashing, and poor pathfinding for employees and customers.
  • Gameplay is slow-paced, with tedious mechanics like scanning each item manually and long in-game days with no fast-forward options.
  • Confusing tutorial and user interface issues lead to a steep learning curve and lack of clear explanations for key game systems.

  • monetization

    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The game's monetization is criticized heavily for functioning solely as an advertisement rather than a full product, misleading consumers and wasting valuable marketplace space. It offers no real value to gamers and is seen as harmful marketing practice, with no recommendation due to its nature as promotional spam rather than a proper game.

    • “Usually the purpose of these advertisements is to get you to shell out money to the developer to buy the full product, but the developer hasn't bothered actually making a product you can buy before they released this advert, leaving this as an advertisement for nothing.”
    • “Often developers may choose to incorrectly publish demo/advertisements as separate games as a cheap way to bypass paying Valve for marketing presence on the Steam front page, which may seem clever to them, but it's harmful behaviour and it's not good for gamers.”
    • “This advertisement is taking up marketing space and visibility that would be better made available to a developer that's done the right thing and created a full game.”

  • graphics

    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    50% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 50% negative mentions

    The game features a unique and appealing art style with standout character animations that differentiate it from typical supermarket simulators. The graphics blend synthy studio assets with other styles, providing smooth transitions and great visuals overall. While some users are enthusiastic about the graphics, a few remain indifferent or unsure.

    • “I really like the art style and character animations; they help the game stand out in the crowded supermarket simulation genre.”
    • “This game is definitely something different from other store simulator games, with a completely different graphic style as well as a different playstyle.”
    • “This game has really good visuals, and I can't wait till early access.”
    • “For starters the graphics is a mix between synthy studio assets and other assets; switching between the two modes is inconsequential for most part, as it does not need a specific feature to do that and could just transition when you are in purchasing mode.”
    • “Graphics: I don't know what to say.”
    • “This game is definitely something different than those other store simulator games, completely different graphic style as well as different playstyle.”

  • gameplay

    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    20% positive mentions, 40% neutral mentions, 40% negative mentions

    The gameplay received mixed feedback, with some users finding it boring, while others appreciated the variety of mechanics. Overall, opinions on the gameplay are divided and somewhat unclear.

    • “Very good, lots of mechanics.”
    • “Boring gameplay”
    • “Gameplay: I don't know what to say.”

  • stability

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    Stability issues are prominent, with frequent bugs such as misplaced items and erratic character behavior. While some glitches may improve with updates, current gameplay is noticeably affected by these technical problems.

    • “Very buggy and every character is randomly generated.”
    • “A bit buggy (ordered goods not on the delivery pallet and an empty cart that's too full to accept new items), but more time in the oven should fix that.”
    • “The glitches are still happening - the cashier returns on the second workday and wanders about instead of going to the register!”

  • optimization

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The game suffers from poor optimization, resulting in subpar performance and likely causing lag or slowdowns during play.

    • “Poor performance”

  • grinding

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    Grinding is implied to be a potentially tedious aspect of the game, suggesting that gameplay may involve repetitive tasks typical of tycoon games, though specifics are unclear due to its upcoming release.

  • story

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 100% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The story and quest system is hindered by a gameplay mechanic involving negative currency, preventing players from progressing or completing quests effectively.
