Our App Store Ranking

Great news - we're now number one for new Strategy Games in Australia (3rd in the UK and 18th in the US). For strategy games overall we're 55th in Australia (80th in the UK, 98th in Italy and 139th in the US). We're also ranking high in Simulation Games and the Food & Drink category - not bad for less than a week!

Don't forget to give us a review on the App Store and a ranking too!

FAQ: Why did my brewery stop making beer?

Sometimes a brewery just stops making beer - very frustrating!

There is a limited number of kegs available to the brewery, and when those kegs are consumed (usually when lots of empty kegs are at the pubs), the brewery will run out of kegs and stop producing beer. You need to send your trucks out to pick up the empty kegs and return them to the brewery to kick off beer production again.

If you want more kegs try upgrading the brewery to increase the number of kegs available.

FAQ: What would I upgrade my brewery?

The fee to upgrade your brewery might seem very high, but it's really not too bad when you consider the return that an upgraded brewery can provide.

An upgraded brewery not only produces beer significantly faster than a standard brewery, but it also increases the total beer capacity by increasing the number of kegs. When the brewery is not upgraded you can quickly end up in a situation where the brewery stops producing beer because it runs out of kegs (usually when you have several pubs and lots of empty kegs at the pubs). When this happens you have no choice but to go and collect empty kegs and return them to the brewery.

An upgraded brewery has a much higher number of kegs available - you'll need this when you have lots of pubs.

FAQ: Why would I upgrade my pub?

Everything's going along just fine, I'm delivering beer consistently and my pub is making money - why would I want to spend money upgrading my pub?

Upgrading a pub can make a dramatic difference to the time that it takes to finish a level - by dramatically increasing the amount of money that you receive for every keg that is consumed. For a reasonable price of approx 25% of the original purchase price of the pub, you can get a 25% increase in the price of beer without any reduction in the frequency of the beer consumption - sounds like a good deal to me!
