You can also hang items on the walls. Go ahead and start customizing your shop to make it truly yours![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]The game's mechanics are designed to make the player feel successful. If it's done badly, it can give 0. But if most of the material is cut well, it can give up to 2 materials.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Finally, let's talk about how the game is played.[/p][p]Customers are people too! They walk around the shop while they wait for their order. You can call for them when it's ready, or look at what they asked for at the bottom of the screen. If you're well-known in the town, more customers will come to your shop. They might even queue, but don't worry: the better your reputation, the more patient they will be![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]1000 People![/h2][p]We've reached 1000 wishlists, and we're over the moon! Thank you to everyone who has added Penny for Your Potion to their wishlists.
