Where it comes from

Little shop games, where you grow the stock, put it out and serve the queue yourself, have been among the most played casual games on phones and on YouTube Playables. Here the shop is seen from above and you walk it with your thumb.

How to play

You run a tiny shop on your own. Put your finger down and slide it to walk that way. The arrows work too.
Stand by the garden at the top to pick what has grown. Stand by a shelf to put out what you carry for it.
Customers come in, take what is on their list and queue at the till. Stand at the till to ring them up and get paid.
A customer waiting at an empty shelf or in the queue loses patience — watch the bar. Three angry customers and the shop closes.
Reach the takings before closing time to win. More stars means more products and busier, less patient customers.

What makes this one different

There are three jobs and only one of you: picking, stocking and ringing up. Everything happens by standing next to it, so the whole game is where you walk and in what order. Stay at the till too long and the shelves run dry; stay in the garden too long and the queue walks out.

Who comes in, when, and what is on each list is all decided when the day starts, so the day plays the same at 60 and at 120 frames a second. The takings to reach are a share of what the whole day is worth, so a day of short lists is no harder than a day of long ones. More stars means a third product, busier customers and less patience.
