Tiny Business
Run a tiny shop. Try not to ruin it.
// About the game
Tiny Business is a small shop simulator you can play right in your browser. Order crates of cola from your supplier, carry them through your little store and stock the shelves before your customers arrive. Customers grab what they need and line up at the checkout - but they only pay when you are standing there. Earn money, buy bigger shelves and see how far your tiny shop can grow.
// How to play

Press E or Space to pick up and drop crates.
