14.3 Hours in the Demo Alone, Here are my Observations
Firstly, I wouldn't have 14 hours in what is basically a 3 hour demo if I didn't like the game. I cannot wait for October to play the full game. There is so much potential even in spite of the glitches.

Second, a few things I think may be helpful to new players that are stuck so you don't lose your love of this wonderful title. There is not a lot of hand holding and even I got confused:

~The shop has the instructions pretty well written out. Place what you want on the counter put the coins in the machine, BUT DON'T FORGET TO TALK TO THE CLERK! I can't count the amount of times I have the first two steps but forget to confirm my purchase and poof the items disappear out of my hands in the doorway.

~HAVING ISSUES UNPACKING YOUR CUPS AND BOWLS AND OTHER BOXES? Have you tried hitting it with a hammer? Really try it, it works!

~Occasionally there seems to be a glitch were a 10 money is stuck in the bowl, I am not sure what causes this but as long as you aren't desperate to get that money NOW you can wait until there is enough in the bowl that it combines to a a 50 or 100 piece.

~THAT STUPID TOPPER WHERE THE HECK IS IT!? Try making grandma's salad (Apple, Banana, Lemon) then hit F to taste. You gotta figure out the rest from the memory. And don't worry people don't mind a little side of DNA memory with their salad so just sell that bad boy for a sweet profit.

~Okay you found the topper now how the heckin' heck do I put this on? Well if money is tight and you haven't gotten that mechanic his sweet sweet carrot smoothie he won't tell you a thing. I am here to say you don't need him, just take a wrench and park your fruitbus under those steps and just like the tires in the tutorial you can attach the bad boy.

~I SEE THE PINEAPPLE TREES, WHY NO PINEAPPLE, this one is easy, up the stairs and throw two of the lemons from the nearby bush in the bowl. Done. Pineapple is not on a timer like other fruits you have to sack two lemons every time to respawn them but it does respawn all the trees at once so like...not a bad deal.

~The demo cannot save, but if you are like me and insistent to try and buy the oven that you can't even buy and save up 500 money you may notice that the fruit is all on a timer. I have not spent the time to figure out the exact respawn of each but I have close-ish numbers.
-Apples and Stores respawn/restock daily
-Garlic and Carrots are about every 2-3 days
-Lemons are every 3-4 days
-Bananas take about 5 days ish (I lost track with banana and mango)
-Mango is about every 7 days
-Pineapple respawns with two lemons in the bowl

~This trash from the store sign is haunting me! Chop it up, throw it in a salad, pop it in the display case under the main counter and trick those tourists into thinking it's something fancy and special. >:)

~Don't forget to stir the stir-fry!!

I also noticed when I was idle I would see a speech bubble from the radio that would read like "*@*$%(@#(*#%$&" I am not sure if that was due to me being idle or maybe grandma is haunting us?

Really the only game ruining glitch I ran into was once where I fell through the ground and basically ended up flying. The temptation to explore beyond the demo boarders was strong but I didn't and don't know if it was really possible in the end but Devs if you are reading this I can send you a clip of stream of where and when it happened just in case.

All in all I love love love this game and feel free to ask me anything as a player in case I missed something. I just wanted to cover my experience!

-Love forgottenfkr /

Also Also :

~Press and hold space while driving to get a tow back onto the road.

~DO NOT JUMP IN THE OCEAN : depending on the spot you get cheeky in you can basically get hard stuck and have to restart the demo which is butts.

This is a fantastic overview guide, thank you so much for making this! We're so glad to hear you've enjoyed the demo and logged so many hours in it. We're in the midst of hitting those bugs and glitches with a hammer ^^
