Run a monkey supermarket by harvesting goods, stocking shelves, serving customers, hiring workers, and expanding into six different marts.
Here's a quick look at the game:
Monkey Mart is a supermarket management game by TinyDobbins where nearly every job is triggered by movement. You guide a monkey between crops, shelves, production stations, and the checkout while customers shop on their own. Money from completed sales lets you add aisles, hire workers, improve operations, and eventually unlock additional marts. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
Keep the Store Supplied
The basic cycle starts with producing goods. Stand near crops to harvest them, carry the items to their matching shelves, and move close to those shelves to restock them. Customers then take available products and head to the checkout. Standing at the cash register processes their purchases and turns those stocked goods into money. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
Actions such as harvesting and stocking happen automatically when your monkey reaches the correct position, so there is no separate action button to manage during the main store routine. On desktop, use WASD or the arrow keys to move. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
Expand From Crops to Processed Goods
The store becomes more complicated as new aisles and production equipment open. Early products include bananas and corn, while later systems introduce animals and appliances that turn basic ingredients into products such as yoghurt, popcorn, coffee, chocolate, and baked goods. Some production chains also depend on earlier resources; for example, animals need corn before they can produce eggs or milk. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
This means an empty shelf can originate from several places in the supply chain. If customers are waiting while one product keeps running out, follow that product backward: check whether it needs harvesting, animal production, processing, or simply another restocking trip.
Hire Workers and Upgrade the Bottleneck
As the mart grows, you can hire monkeys to automate specific jobs. Cashiers keep the register moving, assistants harvest and stock shelves, farmers collect animal products, and chefs handle processed items. Workers can become tired and fall asleep, so automation still requires attention when queues or empty shelves begin to build. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
Upgrades target three operational limits. Stamina reduces worker fatigue and appliance breakdowns, Stack increases carrying capacity and appliance storage, and Speed improves movement and processing time. Upgrade the area causing the current delay rather than improving everything equally: frequent worker sleep points toward Stamina, repeated small restocking trips make Stack more useful, and slow movement or production makes Speed more relevant. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}
Unlock New Marts
Monkey Mart currently includes six marts. To open the next one, you need to finish the required unlocks in your current store, including its aisles and appliances. Each mart introduces another store setup and additional products, extending the same produce-stock-sell-upgrade loop with more systems to manage. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}
