Candy Shop is one of the emerging game on Facebook. The game is brought to Facebook by Tall Tree Games.
Candy Shop, as the name suggest is a businness sim game, where players manage their candy shop. Most casual game players will be familiar with such games. The basic aim of the game is to make candies and sell it, slowly expanding your business.
There are different types of chocolates, candies, soft candies, and baked goods that can be prepared as one progress in the game. Different items have specific level requirements in order to be able to make them. Also, in order to prepare them, you must have the required machines, where you click to gather the ingredients and click when prompted to prepare the candy step by step. Each type of candy requires different amount of time to get prepared, and which should be placed in the display case to start selling them. Also, if you do not transfer a finished product to the display case in time, it gets burned.
Each prepared candy have a fixed number of servings and once it is kept on display, customers starts coming into the shop and make their purchases. The users avatar carter to their needs automatically as long as some candies are there in the display case.
The game also features two 
temporary workers who can be seen sweeping the floor. As of now they don’t seem to have any use, as they keep on sweeping even if there are no visible thrash.
Unlink other similar business sim games, the game lacks active gameplay and competion. What i have noticed is that if some specific product on display has only few servings left or if all the prepared candies are sold, the player’s avatar just stay at the register until the customer stomps out of the shop. But there is no way to know which product the customer needs. Apart from getting angry and walking out the door, customer satisfaction doesn’t seem to play much in the progress of the game.
There are goals to complete, which are mostly about making new recipe and reaching particular level. The goals are shown on the left side of the game screen.
Like any other social game, players can send and receive gifts, invite friends to be neighbors, share bonuses, and ask each other’s help to be a sweeper 
, may be a player’s friends can get most respectable job once the shop grows into a big establishment. Apart from gifting and visiting friends’ shop, players can also collect tips from each other and hire one another as workers. On top of that, player can share extra servings with friends wherever a recipe is prepared by publishing. Player gets half the amount of servings of the particular recipe they share in their gift box.
Detail information of each recipe is given in the recipe book. Players can also decorate their shop as well as their avatar.
The game is for very casual players as it lacks competitive and strategic play. The game provides little of no new feature that is notable. Though it was among the emerging game of the week, according to appdata, the game lacks what it takes to stay on the top ten list for long or am i wrong?
