Monkey Mart Review
I’ve been enjoying playing Monkey Mart for a while now on both mobile and browser. It’s a fun idle/simulation game where you run a supermarket for monkeys.
In the game, you plant various crops like banana, corn and wheat on your farm. You then harvest the fully grown crops and stock the shelves of your mart. Customers (other animal characters) will come to buy the items. You can stand at the register to collect money.
As you earn more cash, you can expand your mart by unlocking new aisles and hiring assistant monkeys to help maintain things. You can also buy appliances to make prepared foods from your harvests. There are options like yogurt maker, peanut butter maker and chocolate maker.
Over time you can build up to 3 different marts/branches across various locations. It’s satisfying to see your little Monkey Mart empire grow. The game provides a soothing yet engaging experience.
Some pros are the cute pixel graphics, relaxing gameplay loop and constant sense of progression. However, the mobile version does sometimes shower you with ads which interrupt gameplay. Also there isn’t a social element like interacting with friends.
