Give it time to sprout!

I played this game twice and rage quit. Then I tried it again and loved it! I grew up playing a C64 game called, "Jimmy the Self-Made Man" about a retail shop owner. Later, I played Dragon Warrior 4 on NES, and the most fun part of the game was playing Taloon's shop chapter. There aren't too many retail-based games and that's a shame, so I was excited when I saw this one! The main "problems" with this game is the meta-humor (lots of Pokemon/Angry Bird era pop culture references that I was not familiar with) and unclear mechanics. Supposedly, you are supposed to pay attention to what the buyers want and craft weapons accordingly, but I found it simpler just to spread my shop workers around, making more average weapons, and selling what I had to the highest bidders. The second "world" is killer and *spoiler* I advise waiting until you have $100k saved up, move to the next area, do all upgrades, and hire better shop workers as soon as the opportunity comes up! After that, everything practically pays for itself. Many reviewers complain about the "going through the motions" feel to the game, but you know what? That's the reality of retail.

UX 0/N

Unskippable dialogues, had to set 20% in OS Sound Settings for the MINIMAL in-game sound settings, 'do-something-somewhere-somehow' school of tutorial building. gj devs, you won

Railroaded a good game.

I loved playing this game but I hated that it wouldn't let me play it my way. If you stray from the route the developers obviously set you will run out of money and lose every time. If they'd left things more open so people could play how they like it would be a much better game. Once I knew what they wanted (after a google search) I was able to start over and enjoy the game but the game being so very much on rails took a lot away from an otherwise very enjoyable game.

Repetitive and boring?

I bought it on a 90% discount(~1.50 euro) and I'm still not really recommending the game. It works well and seems polished but general fun factor is very low? I was tempted to go for a refund but than I remember i bought it very cheap.
