Game Description
The Lunchinator is Here!
Welcome to Lunch Island! Where the sun always shines, everything comes in perfect individual servings and the only meal served is, LUNCH!
Head to the beach and finish the Ice Cream Sandwich event or head to the City and supply Comic Con with pretzels and coffee?
Compete in Competitions! Who has the best Hot Dog on Lunch Island? Who has the best Hot Chocolate?

I've been an avid video-gamer for more than thirty-years, both on PC and
console, and I'm a very harsh critic.
I don't generally waste my time writing reviews for games that are mediocre or
just "OK". My reviews will either be very positive or very negative.
However, in the case of Lunch Truck Tycoon things are a little different.
Although I anticipated I would need more time to write a fair review, I only
required 30 minutes of gameplay, as shown on my record.
The game is only $0.99 USD. Sometimes we get what we pay for, but in this case,
Lunch Truck Tycoon offers just a little more than $0.99 of entertainment.
I've would've gladly paid $20.00 for this game if there had been more strategy
and customization options.
I hope that the developer has plans to expand on this game. I would definitely
like to see some improvements via purchasable "add-on's" that increase the need
for more strategy, and add more customization. Lunch Truck Tycoon should've been
an "Early Access" game.
Will we see a Lunch Truck Tycoon 2 in the future? I hope so!
The development of "Food Truck" themed games has been neglected and is, in my
opinion, an untapped oil well that would seriously appeal to the people who
enjoy playing "simulation, management, strategy" games.
The game's artwork/graphics are of moderate quality. The animation and gameplay
are smooth and moderately clean.
In closing, if you can afford $0.99 USD, buy the game and support an indie
developer! In return, you'll receive a little more entertainment than what you
paid for, and you can't have a legitimate complaint about that.

For 99 cents, this is a great casual game to kill some time with. If you're into
tycoon / management games, this one is a pretty decent bang for your buck. It's
not anything spectacular, but I've played worse.
Pros:
-Easy to learn
-Difficulty follows your level perfectly
-Graphics are good for an indie game that costs 99 cents
Cons:
-That damn song! It's one song that repeats on a loop over and over and over and
over...
-Some items you can buy don't seem to have much of an effect (such as the
banner)

Lunch Truck Tycoon:
A little big game that gets lots of hate because inexperienced people with less
than 2 hours need to make a negative review to make themselves feel better.
As an experienced player (13 hrs on record atm) i can say that this game's good.
it's simple, well controlable, even though it seems that the gameplay is just
made out of waiting, that's not true and there's more to it.
The gameplay consists of:
-Pricing
-Being in the right place at the right time
-Waiting
-Upgrading
-Competing
-Events such as Cook-Offs
-Moneymaking

I spent a lot of time playing this game and i'm still really happy when i'm
getting back to playing it again.
Simple, but great. 10/10

Lunch Truck Tycoon takes place on a dystopian, late-capitalist island known as
Lunch Island; a horrible place where the same 20 second song is played over
loudspeakers on loop at all locations. The days pass by in a rushed blur, yet it
is always lunch time on Lunch Island. Strictly segregated by socioeconomic
class, the island population is comprised of hunderds of silent and exhausted
clones stemming from the same 5 or 6 white people and one brown man in a gray
suit, creating an uncomfortable and unsettling atmosphere as you see the same
person walk past your truck dozens of times per day. Scared of clowns? Get used
to it, 20% of the island's economy seems to be from the clowning industry. The
insane dictator they call "Mayor" will randomly threaten to ban products from
lunch island for no reason, such as soda, though he seems to have a short
attention span and never follows through on his threats, whether you
successfully rally the island in protest by selling 10 soda's in 3 days or not.
You COULD pay less than a dollar for Lunch Truck Tycoon, further funding Mayor's
regime of white supremacy and capitalist tyranny, or you could play something
with just as much, if not more, depth for free on any flash game site.

Imagine my excitement when I saw that there was a game combining three of my
favourite things - lunch, food trucks, and management simulation! I downloaded
this full of the joys of Spring, thinking about how many hours of my life I was
going to waste on luring customers in to buy reasonably-priced Mexican entrees
and not-so-reasonably-priced ice cream. I rocked up at Lunch Island in a
personal reverie.
Now, I'm not usually one for hyperbole, but I think that this might be the worst
game I have ever 'played'.
A few minutes of the video says it better than I could put it into words, but
this really is DREADFUL. It starts out looking so promising - multiple
locations, LOADS of food, chasing events around the map, competitions, a little
mobile phone, a rusty van marked 'SNACKS'...surely this will be the greatest
thing ever?
It is completely terrible. There is nothing to do. 'Gameplay' (for I hesitate to
use the word) is non-existent. People walk past, sometimes you sell something,
sometimes you don't. The background changes. New foods and items periodically
unlock. Sometimes you take part in a competition. Even this is not even 0.01% as
exciting as it sounds.
And the same looped music goes on and on and on and on...
Someone needs to get hold of the concept behind this and make a game which is
actually worthy of the name. Do it for me. I'm begging you.
This is the only game in which you will encounter the phrases 'Exemplary milk'
and 'Getting close nuts'. I was getting close to nuts after 25 minutes of this.

This game is not too bad. I really love tycoon and simulation games. The 1 song
that play's gets a little repetitive but the gameplay itself is actually quite
good. Good game for a dollar.

This game is definitely worth the $.79 that I payed for it. It is not a
particularly in depth game, but you get what you pay for. There are many foods,
trucks, locations and contests that you have to deal with and a level system
that allows you to unlock helpers, more space etc.. I will admit that the game
gets pretty repetitive, but it gave me more than 10 hours of fun and held my
interest throughout. I would recommend this game to anyone.

This is my first serious review so i hope it helps:
This game has lots of hate, but those people havent played for even an hour so
ignore those,
This game is about a guy in a luch truck just trying to sell food, pretty simple
as all you do is manage your money buy new things and simulate the job of a
lunch truck guy.
Pros:
-Simple and easy to learn
-Lots of different foods and trucks, for more hours of gameplay
-Ajusting the prices (SERIOUSLY every tycoon game needs this!!!)
-Food sells better in certain location, for more challenge
-Food competitions
Cons:
-The music (kindof repetitve>
-Hard to get enough money for new trucks
-This is a casual game, so it might get boring if you play too much in a row.
Suggestions for the developers
-Competition: like lets say, other lunch trucks that might try to sabatoge your
company and you can sabotoge them, and buy their company when they go bankrupt!
-Better soundtrack
-Easier to get lunch trucks
I hope you guys (the developers) continue to update this game with more content!
The visuals are simple and nice, the gameplay is fun and easy and its perfect
for the people who like simple casual tycoon games
8/10 A great and simple tycoon game for hours of fun!
This 99 cent game is worth every penny!

This is one of those Tycoon games where you lose interest very quick. In some
related tycoon games, you're purchasing ingredients and are trying to get it
right so that you can sell better stuff and make more money. For this one, all
you are doing is just restocking and selling it; so there is no creativity
involved. There are events where you can try to be creative, but even then it
isn't fun and it's all guesses. Also, the upgrades are hard to obtain. Not all
the upgrades are available, you need to level up in order to unlock them. The
food trucks upgrades are all available, but they are very expensive. In this
game, it takes forever to get enough money to get a better truck. Getting a
better truck doesn't even do anything; all it does is make more room to put food
in your truck. The days are short, so you don't make a lot of money. I literally
had to way months until I had enough money to upgrade once. There are events so
that you can get extra money and it is a huge help, but you are still a bit away
from coming close to buying a new truck. I only play about 2 hrs. worth of the
game and I think I'm already done. This should have been an online flash game.

Well worth the 0.99 I paid for it. Addicting and fun, not to easy not to hard.
The graphics leave alot to be wanted but honestly for a dollar, I am happy I got
a couple days of playing out of it honestly. Also I made a game guide on my
website to help you get a jump start :)
