Community Insight:
This is a very straightforward game with cute graphics and a simple loop. Hire adventurers to gather loot for you, craft items by combining whatever they bring back, then sell these items in your shop to NPCs who wander past each of your displays. As you make more money, you can hire better adventurers. Beyond purchasing more display shelves, adding some square footage to the shop, or furnishing your bedroom (which occasionally provides minor in-game benefits), your only choice is which items to display and which shelf theyll be displayed on. As far as we can tell, there is no way to change an items price or customize the appearance of your shop. Its mostly an idle game where you are sending adventurers out and waiting anywhere from 1 minute to several hours to return with loot. That being said, when they do return, you can spend a decent amount of time crafting and displaying items in your shop, especially as you meet more adventurers for hire. Though it would be nice to have a few more choices to make for the shop, this game is hard to criticize. For starters, its completely free. Ive had it installed for a couple of days now. The are ads but theyre relatively non-invasive. There are not pop ups encouraging us to spend money. More importantly, the game does an incredible job at finding a balance that every good idle game needs. Theres enough here to bring us back to play for a bit, but its not so addictive that we want to speed things up. Im not looking for the button that lets us pay a dollar to buy immediate loot or speed up the adventurers. Once Im out of things to do, Im happy to put it down for a while. If youre looking for an idle game that gives you some fun things to do when you check in, then definitely give this one a try.
Replaying this game again Found the game in 2018.
We started playing this game when we were little, 5 years old, and have had a very strong emotional attachment to this game. It just reminds us of such good times and fun memories of playing this on late nights. Thank god we found it again, Ive been looking for it for so long. We love this game so much, thank you :).
Atelier fans will love the game mechanics so much. We love mixing ingredients to craft items. Selling enough items to reach 30,000 can be difficult early. Later in the game it becomes more easy when more recipes are found and the final store is gained. For a small game that is endless, is a real treat.
Its game with a simple task of crafting ingredients you get from adventurers. Definitely the type we would relax on a small freetime. Some of the combos are less obvious. Oftentimes, its common to get failed new combo results. Besides, we love to see more of the game. Maybe a new island to send out adventurers? Have a garden to grow herbs and make potions with them? Maybe discover new info on an location the adventurers encountered so far.
We love the game its great but it needs newer items and additions. Just giving an idea.
Its a really fun game. Also relaxing.
Excellent little game. The only issue is a few of the recipes are not very logical. Especially Ink (Iron + herb). Water + charcoal or water + grapes would make more sense. Or at least let the bartender give you clue.
We really enjoyed it, though the text on items was a bit small to read. Great for some time killing.
This game is cute and simple, therefore very straightforward on what you have to do, but on ongoing updates can you make it so there are other things to do? Also the magician guy brings back adventures after you pay 30,000 which is a large sum and difficult to get, could their be other opportunities or different special people that come sometimes to help.
We really enjoyed it. It kinda runs out of steam after you buy the second extension, though.
Like we said its pretty good but theres a bug every like 30 seconds it puts us on a load screen then back on the load screen Im still playing it but its really annoying that is the only reason why its four stars not five so please fix this it would be really appreciated again we still love the game :).
Okay we liked this game no problems until we wanted to expand our shop it told us 10000 coins in order to expand we thought that was crazy because we did not expand our shop before it was all new we probably had to wait for 1 week before we could expand our shop we do like the crafting option though this game is a great way to pass time we will say no hate to the developers just we wish the expanding shop was more easier.like lower the price or something.
This game is alright we guess. You can definitely tell its an indie game though. The menus arent very pleasing to the eye. The tutorial was buggy and confusing. We wanted to like it, but deleted it after playing for about 10 minutes. No hate to the developers. We love the premise, but the execution is lacking. Im sure theyll improve with more experience.
We love this game! We wish there was more to do though! Maybe add different things you can buy to customize the shop.
We really like this game, it's easy and fun. The art style is adorable and the combining mechanic is fun. We hope the developers keep adding new items.
We have always enjoyed these merchant style games. It is easy and simple fun with a cute art style. Our only complaint so far is the stutter from changing tabs from shop to pub etc. Though we are sure in time that will be improved on. Fun game to pick up and we enjoy trying to figure out new items with the combining mechanic.
Adorable and enjoyable! We'd adore a feature that lets us purchase no ads though! <3.
We like this type of game, but it is a little laggy for its simplicity.
Thank you so much for creating this Item Shop game! Was looking for a game like this on iOS. We appreciate the regular updates and glad to see the game improving. Looking forward to see how this game will turn out.
So far Im enjoying managing and making stuff in the game. Its very cute overall.
