What it is
Monkey Mart is a shop-management game. You harvest crops, stock shelves and take money at the till, then hire monkey staff and unlock new aisles until the shop runs faster than you can alone.
The loop
You guide one monkey around a small shop. Stand next to a crop and you harvest it. Carry the goods to a shelf and it restocks. Wait at the till and customers pay. There is no action button: the work starts when you are in the right place.
It begins with one shelf and one queue. Then customers arrive faster, shelves empty while you are harvesting, and the game becomes a question of what to do first. Mischievous monkeys sometimes knock products off the shelves, which adds a mess to clean up.
Money buys new aisles, equipment and staff. Cashiers work the till, assistants harvest and restock, farmers collect from animals, and chefs turn plain goods into pricier ones: bananas into yoghurt, corn into popcorn, wheat into flour for baking, coffee beans into ground or brewed coffee, cocoa into chocolate. Animals need corn before they give eggs or milk.
There are six shops in total. You open the next one only after unlocking everything in the current shop, and each new shop brings its own look and goods.

Early advice
Keep the till staffed first. A long queue costs more than an empty shelf.
Workers get tired and fall asleep mid-task. Wake them, or step in yourself, before a queue builds.
The three upgrades each go to level 4: Stamina (workers sleep and machines break less), Quantity (carry more) and Speed. Stamina is the calmest first buy.
Feed animals corn early. They only start producing eggs or milk after that.
Daily tasks (five a day) pay diamonds, which can be swapped for cash or spent on more than 20 hats.
Good fit
Anyone who enjoys a slow build from one shelf to a busy shop, and small, repeatable jobs.
Think twice
- The busy middle of the game can feel hectic when staff fall asleep.
- Unlocking all six shops takes many sessions.
- Poki shows ads around its games; the game is also available as an iOS and Android app.
