Pieman

You are the new counterman at the pie emporium, a shop under a marquee of chasing bulbs. Pies come out of a glowing oven on a conveyor belt. Walk up to the belt and hold the button as a pie passes under your hands to take it, then carry it down to the wooden counter and hold the button in front of a waiting customer to sell it. A pie nobody takes falls off the end of the belt and smashes onto a growing heap. Every 25 pies sold the belt runs faster. When 30 pies are smashed, the shop closes for the cleanup.

Controls: Controller 1 (or 2): the stick walks, either button held takes or sells a pie.
