Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“I want to involve the community early and shape the game based on player feedback. Early Access gives me the chance to test and improve the game step by step, together with the players.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“While it's not certain, the goal is to leave Early Access around Q3 2025.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The game will progress in chapters, and Early Access will include the initial parts. Based on player feedback, new features and mechanics will be added. The full version is planned to offer more regions, recipes, tools, and expanded gameplay systems.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version of Dirty Street Food Simulator includes the core gameplay loop: preparing street food, buying necessary cooking tools, managing basic ingredients, and selling food to customers in selected zones. Players can currently unlock new recipes, purchase equipment like grills and blenders, and choose from multiple districts to operate in—each with different customer expectations.

The in-game economy is functional, allowing players to earn, spend, and upgrade based on their sales performance. Basic progression systems and customer feedback mechanics are implemented. However, some planned features such as cleaning systems, advanced recipe complexity, and additional district types are not yet available and will be introduced through future updates.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Yes. The game will launch with an Early Access discount. Afterward, it will return to its planned full price as new content and features are added.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Community feedback will play a key role in shaping the game. I plan to actively gather input through Discord, Reddit, and comments under videos created by players or content creators. Suggestions, bug reports, and player experiences will help guide development decisions and balance changes over time.”

About This Game

Turn a rickety old cart into the hottest street kitchen in town. Cook every order by hand, from sizzling burgers to hand-rolled pizzas, set your own prices, and keep the queue happy. Upgrade and paint your cart, then unwind at the arcade after closing time.

From a rickety cart to the best street kitchen in town.

Every street food legend starts somewhere. Yours starts with a battered old cart, a grill, and a line of hungry customers. Cook every order by hand, run your own little business from morning till night, and grow your cart into the place everyone in the city queues for.

Cook it like you mean it.

No button-mashing here. Open the gas valves to control the heat, flip patties and bacon with a spatula, and slice ingredients with a free-moving knife. Drop fries into a battery-powered fryer, roll hot dogs on the roller grill, roll out dough and bake pizzas in the oven, then fill drinks at the soda fountain. Food goes from raw to overcooked across 5 doneness stages, and every sauce and shake of seasoning counts.

Feed the street

Dish out 20 mouthwatering recipes, from nine unique burgers to hot dogs, crispy fries, eight thirst-quenching drinks, and pizzas loaded with your favorite toppings. Invent your own combos and signature creations. Customers want their burgers just right - well-done, extra cheese, hold the onions - and patience is not their strong suit. Get every detail right and watch the tips pile up. Slip up, and your paycheck takes the hit. Brave the lunch rush, rake in profits on Festival Day, and see your five-star reputation soar. 

Run the business

Pick the day’s menu and set your own prices on your tablet, but if your prices are too high, customers will let you know. Shop for ingredients at the market, watch for spoiling stock before the flies find it, swap gas canisters and car batteries before they run dry, and pay your daily rent and weekly license. Short on cash? Visit an ATM, take out a bank loan, and get back on your feet.

Grow your cart

Upgrade your cart through four stages and see it transform before your eyes. Add new machines, expand your counters, unlock a drink cabinet and storage bays, and make it truly yours with fresh paint, a custom sign, a radio, and quirky decorations that boost your gameplay.

Clock out and have fun.

Slow moment between orders? Grab your tablet and play one of 10 mini-games. After closing, head to the arcade hall and spend your earnings on 6 fully playable machines, from racing and air hockey against AI opponents to skee-ball and a claw machine whose prizes end up on your cart-feeling lucky? Try the slot machines.
