Ye Olde Sandwich Shoppe is a time management game released by Mean Hamster. You are playing as Elise, the sandwich inventor. Your goal in this game is to create a world’s famous brand from your simple invention, and, as a result, earn lots of money selling various types of sandwiches.

The gameplay mostly consists of baking fresh bread, cutting meat and experimenting with various extra components, which will help you to make delicious sandwiches. All this actions must be completed before the customer’s patience runs out. Sometimes you can use a record machine to play music: that makes your customers wait a little bit longer than usual.

The game offers you a good selection of modes to play: timed or untimed, easy game mode or medium. Hard mode option will be available after you complete the game once. There are more than 40 levels in the Sandwich Shoppe. An interesting thing about the game is that it becomes easier at the end. All the challenges are waiting for you on the first levels. That seemed a little strange for us.

To sum up we would like to say that Ye Olde Sandwich Shoppe is a fast and intensive time management game. Probably, the veterans of the genre will like it more than newbies. If you are not sure in your skills, maybe you should try a more relaxed game first.
