“i Would not recommend this game at this stage. I was excited to see this because I have been thinking of creating an arcade simulator of my own. About 8 hours of playing and while some elements are run, the leveling up and gameplay overall…”
“Game get tiring. They have zero stockers and you have to carry boxes one by one. Takes forever getting things ready with no help. I don't understand how you make a game like this without a stocker as an available employee.”
