HotPot Story: Malatang Shop

HotPot Story 1.3 is our biggest update yet. NEW WAYS TO PLAY ・Lucky Bags: Pull with gems, or with the money you earn while running your shop. 30 items in all: ingredients, decor, and outfits. No blanks, and duplicates turn into shards. Get the same ingredient 3 times and its level cap goes up. See what can come out, and the odds, under "What you can get and odds" on the bag screen. ・Friends' Shops: Visit a friend's shop with your own manager and send a like. You become friends only when you send a request and they accept. Requests from people you don't know are off by default. ・Visitor events: While you're open, 18 kinds of guests, such as regulars and critics, stop by to chat. Your answer changes your money, reviews, or visitors a little. ・Cafe Chapter: Once you open your 2nd shop, you can enter the Cafe Chapter from the title screen. ・Help chat with the Area Manager ("Elimane"): Ask a question and get an answer. If it can't help, you can send your question to the developer. YOUR SHOP GROWS ・Customers now pick their spice level and noodles, and 6 new ingredients are in ・"Shop Rank" gives you more to spend money on. Higher ranks bring rare guests more often and raise the price of each bowl ・After you open more space, new goals guide you through bags, upgrades, hiring and more.
