About the Game

Run an underground tomato shop from your apartment in a country where tomatoes are banned. Farm tomatoes in your hidden balcony and sell them to visiting customers. 

There are undercover cops hidden as customers. Luckily your “connections” share cops’ patterns with you. Use them for detecting and reporting cops. Keep a low profile and never deal with them.

Legalize tomatoes by supplying your network. Some customers are trying to overthrow the oppressive government, hippies are protesting relentlessly, and scientists are trying to prove that there is no harm from a tomato. In the end, they all need tomatoes.

Plant tomato seeds as you want, water, prune and even talk with them to grow. Harvest grown tomatoes and dry them to sell because who likes fresh tomatoes.

Adjust your daily schedule by selecting customers who requested deals. Sell them tomatoes while dealing with their bargains, stories, questions and friends. If you are nice to them, you can organize loyal ones to collect their friends’ orders to ease your process.

  • Meanwhile, track customers’ behaviors to detect undercover cops that blend into your network. Cops follow the same orders. It is possible to detect them by following their patterns. Luckily you are informed at every pattern change. In return, inform your connections about undercover cops, and they take care of the rest. 

The problem is, regular customers might wear the same and can behave similarly. It is up to you to deduce them. If you blame a regular customer, that attracts more police attention.

Expand the operation by improving production capacity and buying or upgrading equipment. Unlock popular tomato types that sell more and trade tomatoes to get them. Customize your shop according to your taste or considering efficiency.
