Keep It Cool by Nyla J

INSTRUCTIONS: - Buy items from the shop before starting the day. - Use your mouse to move objects. USE R TO ROTATE AND E TO OPEN/CLOSE THE INVENTORY. - You must close the inventory to be able to give the items to the customers.

You are a vendor... but you don't have a refrigerator. Guess it's time to go old-fashioned.
Back in ye olden days, keeping food fresh was a difficult task. Join us in this struggle by rearranging and packing food with adjacent ice cubes in the historic ice box, which was popular prior to the invention of the refrigerator.
Food decays if it's not adjacent to ice. Ice melts away naturally, so be quick and resourceful to preserve your meats! Also be careful of company you keep... as in one rotten apple spoils the bunch.
As customers come along, evaluate your freshest food: better frozen food equals more money. Use the money to purchase more ice cubes!
Be sure to freeze food as fast as you can! You're on thin ice since food that isn't in the icebox will rot much faster...
