About the game
Sub Station 9000 puts you behind the counter of a little deli in the lunch rush. Each customer's order prints as a receipt on the rail, a bare roll rolls in on the belt, and you build the sub layer by layer from the steel pans: salami, swiss, lettuce, tomato, onion, mayo and ketchup.
The belt never stops. Serve while it's still in the green and the tip is biggest; leave it to go stale and the customer pays less. Get the layers in exactly the right order and your streak lights up the neon sign, multiplying every tip. The right fillings in the wrong order still earn something. Anything else and the customer walks out.
The week runs Monday to Friday, and a new regular turns up each day. Dash is always in a rush, Professor Mo wants the exact order, Pip won't touch an onion, Sal wants zigzag sauce, and on Friday the food critic comes in. Each day earns up to five stars, and the tips buy upgrades for the kitchen. Finish the week to unlock Overtime.
Tips
- Glance at the whole ticket before you start. Bottom layers are usually meat and cheese, sauce goes on top.
- Wrong layer? Press Z to flick off just the top one instead of starting again.
- Ring the bell as soon as the last layer lands. Every second on the belt costs tip.
- Watch the stars on the ticket: RUSH, EXACT ORDER, NO ONION and ZIGZAG SAUCE each change the rules for that customer.
- For a zigzag, tap the same sauce twice.
- A slower belt motor is the best first buy from the supply form.
