How it plays

Control Noob with the arrows on your keyboard (or by tapping on the screen of your mobile device). Build a building, pick up products and take them to the counter. When the customer has bought everything, help him pay at the cash register.

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 management holdings

• Fix the queue before the product. In management games the line out the door is rarely a quality problem; it is a staffing and layout problem wearing a quality costume.
• Hire for the hour you cannot cover. Your own attention is the scarcest employee in any management sim — spend money wherever it buys your attention back.
• Read the complaint, not the rating. Averages hide the one broken station that is quietly taxing every customer; the written grumble names it for free.

CraftMart — questions from the readership

What does it cost to open CraftMart?

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 CraftMart, exactly?

We file it on the Management 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 CraftMart 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. CraftMart 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.
