is a simulation game by LavaMind. The game takes place on the island of Zapinalia. In this isolated paradise is Queen Keshi Keshi Gomu. She is the queen of Zapinalia and she has decided to open up the island’s economy to foreign imports. The monumental announcement has allowed you to buy and sell the island’s resources such as imported lumber fish and precious mamo vapor. Each successful transaction is one step closer to making zillions of zables. Once you’ve turned a profit in dealing with exotic goods, you can expand throughout the archipelago.  

Quirky tycoon game 

Zapitalism puts you in the shoes of one of six entrepreneurs. It will be up to you which of these eager businessmen you will be as each has his own business advantage. What is important to remember is that you can use their unique ability to run the most successful and profitable store in the land. 

The game mechanics are similar to running a real business: read up on consumer’s demands and the amount of stock in supply, purchase your merchandise, set up your store according to customer preference, and market your product so you can clear your inventory. In Zapinalia, however, your success will yield lavish rewards. If you are the most profitable business by the end of the week, you will be the first to replenish your stock in the following week. 

Although the mechanics of the game take inspiration from serious business matters, its graphics are bright and campy. You will see all kinds of strange shapes and colors all over the island. Overall, Zapitalism is a fun tycoon game that keeps you on your toes. The vibrant surroundings keep things light as you’re fighting your way in being the best selling business on the island.
