    I played for a little bit and have only found a couple of problems. One is that you cannot restock two items at once and the other is taht quickly swithch from stats to foodcart to todo list multiple times can cause the screen to go black but the game does not crash. Other than that the game is great.

    @Bparker: Thanks for the feedback! The "restock-only-one-item-at-a-time" feature is intentional to give the game that arcade feel and forces the player to carefully time their restocking. If you play the game some more, you'll see that you can work out a strategy behind it. :) The screen blacking out is a bug, I'll get that fixed, thanks!

    After scrolling to the bottom of the milestone pages it will immeadiately go back to the top this can get kind of annoying when you want to see the bottom achievment

    @BParker: That's a known issue with the library that I'm using. I'll see if I can find a workaround. It happens in the To Do List too when you have too many items shown.

    @Zakoth: Let me know what you think?

    Happy playing guys! :)

    1 Star: Play your first day! (Is this too generous?)
    2 Stars: Operate your Foodcart w/out going bankrupt for 14 days (2 weeks)
    3 Stars: Serve a total of 500 customers
    4 Stars: Get a satisfaction rating of 85% or more
    5 Stars: Get a Foodtruck and pay your loan/debt (if you have any)

    Sorry I forgot to do this for the last build but I want to share my impressions on how to get stars.
    1 Star: Operate for 7 days w/out going bankrupt
    2 Stars: Get rid of debt or if no debt upgrade to a better food cart
    3 Stars: Serve 500 customer I like this one
    4 Stars: Earn a total of 5,000 dollars ( Not sure if serving 500 customers will get you to this quickly.
    5 Stars: Purchase best and all upgrades and Become a Streetfood Tycoon

    @BParker: Fantastic suggestions! I'll be sure to consider them. My original 4-star condition was meh and I like yours better. :)

    Btw guys, how about suggestions for titles? The ones in the game are temporary only--any cool ideas?

    Newbie
    Apprentice (1-star)
    Entrepreneur (2-stars)
    Businessman (3-stars)
    Big Timer (4-stars)
    Tycoon (5-stars)

    Some funny or witty title suggestions would be great! :)

    @BParker: LOL! Not sure if "noob" will sound offensive to most players (who aren't used to online terms) though. Let's see. :)

    Any other feedback guys? It's too quiet in here. :)

    I read in the beta report that the game is turning freemium but I would not mention that in the app description because..
    1. The game isn't really freemium it is just the choice of the app buyer if they want to make the game super fast.
    2. When I think of freemium i think of games that are unplayble without making many IAPs

    @BParker: Thanks for pointing that out. I will keep this in mind when I submit the game to Apple. I guess people's "mindset" now is that freemium "requires" you to purchase something in order to play the game in its entirety. I didn't want Streetfood Tycoon to take that direction because I wanted to preserve its original gameplay. I only had to include coin packs so that I can at least earn from all the hard work that I've put in the game--more like a "donationware" system. If people loved the game, they can always donate or support by purchasing IAP. If not, they're still free to play the game to their heart's content.

    Hi Everyone! The latest beta is now available! You should be able to download it from your Testflight Dashboard and receive an email about it. :)

    Btw, I'm also soliciting suggestion for "celebrity" customer characters that can be unlocked in the game--any ideas? We can spoof popular celebrities or people and have players unlock them inside the game for added fun. :)

    @ozrainmaker: I'm not sure if I can still accommodate more beta testers at this point but thanks for registering. Please make sure that your device UDIDs are included in your Testflight registration so that I can accommodate you in any future beta releases. :)

    I would love a checklist or progress bar to show how far until your next star.
