Happy Sandwich Cafe vs SimCity BuildIt
Happy Sandwich Cafe
Happy Sandwich Cafe is a sandwich shop simulation game where you not only get to run and manage a virtual sandwich shop of your own; you can even create your original sandwich recipes and test them out to get your customers' (and friends') feedback. The ingredients you need to make your sandwiches can be obtained via quests where you have to fulfill sandwich orders from the local farmer and grocery stores. You can unlock new ingredients by playing mini-games as well. With so many types of bread and fillings, you'll be running a shop that has an even wider variety of sandwiches and is better in any way than Subway in no time!Of course, being a shop simulation game, you'll also get to use the profits you've gained to improve the appearance of your, albeit 2D, shop in many ways, including buying signboards, repainting the walls, or adding some festive decor to welcome any special occasions. Fancy pitting your sandwich-making skills in a sandwich contest? Well, you can do just that in this game and if you happen to win, you can get some exclusive prizes for your shop.
Unlike the usual types of dishes served in cooking-themed games, Happy Sandwich Cafe dared to be different by presenting a beautifully-illustrated 2D look and a different game experience (making and selling your own sandwiches), and somehow, it greatly paid off. So, if you've tired of the usual cooking and shop management gameplay of most games on the mobile platform, you should defintiely check this game out. It is different... in a very good way!
SimCity BuildIt
SimCity BuildIt is an incredibly immersive city-building simulation game where you, as the mayor of a small town, strive to develop a bustling metropolis of your dreams. By manufacturing and crafting a variety of goods, you can use these items to earn some cash or to upgrade your existing buildings so they can house more people. Help your fellow citizens solve their daily problems by adding or expanding roads, building entertainment outlets, parks or any other useful facilities nearby, and, of course, making sure that their basic needs (electricity, water and waste management) is well-taken care of.The game has so many different buildings that you can construct, some of which will require special materials obtainable by periodic orders at the airport or at the docks. Best yet, you can even get Dr. Vu to launch one of his devastating experiments onto the city you've built, just so you can see the amazing effects and also to earn rewards for repairing the damaged buildings. SimCity BuildIt has also added a more competitive element by hosting frequent tournaments where mayors can complete a set list of quest objectives to earn points and rank higher on the leaderboard or even to eventually move on to a higher league.
When it comes to city-building games, there are many on the mobile platform but SimCity BuildIt manages to set itself apart from all the rest, not by having gorgeous graphics, but because it retains many of the fun and somewhat strategic elements, albeit in a much more mobile friendly and simplified way, that made SimCity (the franchise) so popular among gamers.
