Early Access Review
This game is so fun and well made. If you've ever been convinced to play one of those ♥♥♥♥♥♥ Facebook shop games but hated every minutes of it because you were forced to invite people or pay to get access to features, this is the salve to heal your soul that you've been looking for. It's a wonderful shop simulator with a lot of room for growth and expansion.

It can be a bit grindy if you want to max out all of your levels, but that's completely unnecessary (I'm just like that). The devs for this game are super active and super kind. They have a discord server where you can post bug reports, suggestions, screenshots, and more. They respond super fast and, frankly, are a huge reason I want to leave this game a glowing review. The fact that I can expect continual progress from them and a willingness to work with their players is so heartening. The game is continuing to be added to and updated regularly with new features and bug fixes.

If you're design oriented, you'll also appreciate that all of the decorations, props, functional items - anything you buy in this game - you can sell back for the exact same price. This includes any money put into upgrades and so on. It makes it really easy to design your shop without wasting money on sellbacks (which can be heartbreaking if you decide you really don't like what you did with it).

I immediately started out playing Very Hard, since I have experience with this kind of game. It was tricky near the end of the the gamemode, before it turns into sandbox, but I managed to complete it on the first try, with some difficulty. It's very well balanced in terms of difficulty, and only becomes moreso as you learn the ins and outs of the game and improve at planning ahead and so on.

I look forward to where this game goes! It's already wonderful and will certainly only get better.
