My Mini Shop Simulator lets you hire, fire and run your own supermarket exactly the way you want
Mr Skinner to the manager's office...
- My Mini Shop Simulator is now available on iOS and Android
- Staff your shop, decide what to stock and how to price it
- Upgrade the store and work through a day and night cycle
There's definitely some kind of cynical take on the fact that nowadays, one of the biggest fantasies that games seek to let you live out is having any form of stable employment. That chilling thought aside, My Mini Shop Simulator lets you jump into the shoes of a solo supermarket owner and run your store how you want!
You know the drill here if you're at all familiar with the management or tycoon format. You'll be running around the shop floor handling customers, stacking shelves and deciding how to organise your store. Meanwhile, you'll also be able to hire employees to help run the place for you, and decide what to stock, how to price it and when.
Manager's office, Mr Skinnerrr
It's certainly an auspicious time for something like My Mini Shop Simulator to launch, as Discounty is also set to release soon on mobile, offering its own Stardew Valley-inspired take on the format.But My Mini Shop Simulator focuses a lot more closely on the actual day-to-day running of the store. You'll be managing it, upgrading it and all in all sticking closely to a worm's eye view of the employed life.
About the only objection I'd have to My Mini Shop Simulator is that there are traces of that old AI-art chestnut about. It's a shame as well, because all the original stuff in there has that rough-edged, loveable charm. Here's hoping that My Mini Shop Simulator ends up removing that in favour of its regular art style.
