When you think of the working world, there’s one element that’s always missing; kids. Yeah, the poor little kiddies still haven’t managed to crack their way into corporate America, or even McDonald’s. So what’s a kid yearning for some extra Hot Wheels spending money to do? Well he could get a paper route (see game: Paperboy), or he could mix up a batch of juice and set up office outside his/her house, selling small cups of often poorly prepared juice for exorbitant amounts of money. Kids have the benefit of being kids after all, which often pulls at the heartstrings of adults, even when they know the juice will be overpriced and lacking in lemonade goodness.
It’s back to these halcyon days of child economics 101 we head with Lemonade Tycoon, a free iPhone game which starts off no more complicated than running a simple stand from your front lawn would be, but soon evolves past the reach of the average child into lemonade empire territory.
The gameplay is broken down into days, and as each day passes you’ll be greeted with the menu screen where you can adjust all facets of your business, right down to the recipe you use to create your lemonade and the underlying profit margin (or deficit, avoid the deficits) it will create when contrasted against the price you’re selling for. Like life, finding that perfect balance is essential, in this case the balance between squashing lemons and mixing them with water and sugar, and the amount of greenbacks you’re going to charge for them.
You can buy upgrades for your lemonade stand, spend money on marketing campaigns to get the word out, hire new staff, and much more. A nice little touch was the daily newsflashes, which always managed to make me smile with their silly lemon infused headlines. You can also see the overall popularity of your stand and check on the weather for the following days, which plays an important role in how many customers will show up.
Like all great simulation and Tycoon games of the past, you never quite reach that point where you feel completely comfortable. Different weather requires adjustments to strategy, such as the recipe you’ll use and where you’ll set up shop. As you get more successful you’ll need to hire more workers to keep up with the demand or risk losing all those previously satisfied customers. Unlike the lemonade itself, where the perfect recipe may in fact exist, there’s never quite that perfect point where the game just runs itself (and which would be quite boring after all). You’re constantly making small tweaks and adjustments on the road to unattainable perfection.
If there’s one weakness in the package, it’s the graphics, which are blocky and utterly devoid of detail. I’m assuming the game is a direct port of one of the previous PC versions, which have been around in one form or another for years, but I have no clue which one. As it is, the graphics will transport you back into the distant past just as the gameplay will. Maybe it’s fitting after all.
While Lemonade Tycoon isn’t quite as demanding as other simulation games, and isn’t much of a looker, there’s a simplicity and charm to the title that makes it undeniably appealing. Oh, and did I mention it’s free? Yes, unlike lemonade, some things in life really are free.
Pros:
Price: Free
