Pressgrove is a cider-stand tycoon in the spirit of the classic lemonade stand. Every morning you plan: order supplies, tune the recipe, set a price. Every afternoon you watch the street decide whether your cider is worth it.

You have 20 days to grow 40 coins into 500. The forecast is right most days, but not all, and apples you do not use go soft overnight.

  • Morning planning: order apples, sugar and cups at prices that change every day, with a running total and the cost of each cup
  • Recipe and price: tasters like about three apples a cup, want less sugar when it is hot and more when it is cold, and judge your price against the weather
  • Reputation: happy customers raise it and bring more people to the stall; a poor recipe or a greedy price lets it slide
  • Events: fair days every fifth day, apple gluts, sugar shortages, a brass band and a rival cart that undercuts you
  • Upgrades: a bigger press for shorter queues, a painted sign that draws a crowd, and an ice box for hot days
  • Daily report and chart: sales, takings, costs, profit, a tip for tomorrow and a bar chart of cups sold per day
