Dungeon Shop Rush

Prospectus

Warriors, mages, rogues and nine more kinds of heroes line up at your counter, and every one of them is in a hurry. Drag the right sword, potion or scroll to each hero before their patience runs out, chain customers into combos for bigger tips and enchant wares at the glowing station for double pay. Between shifts, pick a contract that changes the rules, stock your shelf with 18 wares, license new goods and spend your coins on upgrades: friendlier counters, bigger shelves, faster restocks and price tags that pay off. Renovate the shop with new walls, counters, lights and decor, fill your collection of heroes, wares and relics, and finish daily, weekly and guild tasks. Shifts get busier as your reputation grows, and reputation never stops growing. Climb the "Best shift" leaderboard and show who runs the finest shop in the dungeon!

How it plays

Drag an item from the shelf onto the hero who ordered it, or tap the item and then the hero. Orders marked "Enchanted" need the enchanting station first: drop an ordinary item on it, wait a moment and drag the glowing result to the hero. Tap an empty item to restock it. Serve heroes back-to-back to raise your combo and open combo chests. Reach half of the shift's coin goal to pass, and the full goal for three stars. Spend coins on upgrades and wares between shifts. Controls: mouse or touch (drag and drop, or tap). Esc pauses the shift.

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.
