Welcome to Robo Shop, a sci-fi business simulator where you'll help a robotic entrepreneur build a retail empire from the ground up. In Robo Shop, you are transported to a planet inhabited entirely by robots and tasked with establishing, managing, and expanding a bustling store. Your journey begins by setting up the foundational elements of your enterprise: production facilities and sales counters. You'll start by manufacturing and selling basic commodities like spare parts and lubricant oil, learning the core loop of production, stocking, and sales that defines the Robo Shop experience. As you serve the local robotic clientele, you'll earn profits to reinvest into your growing business. The heart of Robo Shop is expansion. You won't be stuck with a small stall for long. Use your earnings to upgrade existing machinery for better efficiency, unlock new production lines for more advanced goods, and physically expand the floor space of your shop to accommodate more counters and a wider variety of products. The gameplay in Robo Shop is hands-on. You'll directly control a robot assistant, moving around your shop to place buildings, collect freshly produced items like iron ingots from workshops, and manually stock them onto shelves to ensure they are available for purchase. You'll also step behind the counter to operate the cash register, personally processing transactions and keeping the flow of commerce moving. The challenge lies in balancing these tasks—managing supply chains to prevent empty shelves, optimizing layout for smooth operations, and strategically choosing which upgrades and new product lines will maximize your profits in Robo Shop. It's a satisfying cycle of creation, sales, and growth set in a charming robotic world.
