Capy Market

Prospectus

Run your own little supermarket as a capybara with a yuzu on its head! Harvest carrots, tomatoes and strawberries, carry them in your crate and fill the shelves before your customers lose patience. Collect the cash at the register, then spend it on new fields, shelves, a chicken coop and a jam cauldron. As your market grows, hire a cashier and farmers to do the work for you, upgrade your crate, your speed and your prices at the office, and grab speed boots or a suitcase full of cash when they appear. Finish the Golden Capybara statue to pack your bags for Capy Beach: coconuts, pineapples, mangoes and fish, a smoothie blender that needs two fruits, and cheeky seagulls that steal from your shelves. Next stop is Capy Ski, with potatoes, apples, cows, a hot chocolate cauldron and sneaky penguins. Then back to the farm in a new season, with bigger profits every time. Come back every day for three new challenges, a login bonus and a free spin of the lucky wheel. Watch out for the tourist bus and VIP shoppers who pay extra, and dress up your capybara with hats you unlock along the way. Features: - Easy to pick up, satisfying to master - Cute low-poly animals and lots of little animations - Staff that works for you, even while you are away - Three worlds: the farm, Capy Beach and Capy Ski, plus new seasons - Daily challenges, login bonus and lucky wheel - Nine hats to unlock for your capybara - Saves automatically - English, French and Spanish

How it plays

Move: WASD / ZQSD / arrow keys, or click and drag. Mobile: drag anywhere on the screen. Walk onto a tile to build or buy, walk near fields, shelves and the register to work automatically.

Opening an account with this game takes one press: Open the holding, above, and it loads on this page itself — nothing downloads and no form stands between you and the first decision. It is drawn for a flexible screen and takes its instructions from mouse, keyboard or touch, as the game prefers. It adjusts itself to upright and wide screens alike, so phone, tablet and desktop all present it properly. If a fullscreen control is offered, take it — a growing enterprise deserves the whole desk.

Analyst's notes for simulation holdings

• Learn the loop before optimising it. Every simulation is a circle — earn, spend, expand, earn more — and the players who last are the ones who found the circle's slow point early.
• Watch one full cycle without touching anything. A simulation confesses its priorities when left alone: whatever runs out first is what the designer wants you managing.
• Small inefficiencies compound faster than big ones. A route that wastes ten seconds every cycle costs more than a disaster that happens once, so audit the routine before the dramatic.

Capy Market — questions from the readership

What does it cost to open Capy Market?

Nothing, at any point. The holding is free from the first click to the last upgrade — no account to open, no download to wait for, no paywall filed anywhere in its pages. The advertising around this page is what pays the bookkeeping.

What kind of game is Capy Market, exactly?

We file it on the Simulation shelf of the ledger. It is a browser game through and through — the prospectus above is the publisher's own summary of what the game asks of you and what it gives back.

Can I play Capy Market on a phone or tablet?

Yes — it runs in the browser on phones and tablets just as it does on a computer. It adjusts itself to upright and wide screens alike, so phone, tablet and desktop all present it properly.

Is there anything to download or install first?

Nothing at all. Capy Market is an HTML5 game: press the open button and it loads on this very page, and closing the tab leaves nothing behind on your device.

Closing entry

Finished the audit, or still mid-season? The full Simulation shelf is one click away — The ledger's main hall: 302 simulations of everything from bus routes to burger counters to entire small lives. If it can be run, staffed, watered or worried over, somebody has simulated it and filed it here.
