It's fun trying to learn how to mouve smoothly with these controls. The top down view reminded me a bit of the first GTA. Maybe it is just a little difficult in some places to figure out what you are buying, overall nice job.

Love it! The cart physics are really fun and add a funny twist, I especially liked being able to push the wet floor signs around lol. Couldn’t figure out how to pick up groceries, maybe some sort of visual prompt when you are in the correct position would help! Also, the transitions between menu and game are super cool!

Glad you enjoyed it! :D

Sure it's not the most polished games, but I enjoyed the acceleration movement style of the cart, really reflects the desperation of the guy trying to get his groceries in 3 minutes before the store closes. It was fun Tokyo drifting my cart around the sharp turns for the multiple attempts I had. Everything was showing the tag for milk, but once I realized the items were respective to the shelf, I had a good time trying to get all the items and slide into the register. Closest I got was 3 items on the list though, now I need to invest way to much time getting good :).

Glad you still enjoyed the game even though it was pretty rough :)

I cannot play this game, as I get softlocked really quickly, by getting stuck (somehow) and not being able to move. Having to refresh the page to get out of this instead of a retry button didn't help. The movement is really sloppy, and not fun to control, and I had a hard time buying things off the shelves. It looks interesting though, and I would probably enjoy it with some better controls, and a better understanding of the game

Thanks for the feedback! I did struggle a lot more this jam because I over scoped resulting in a uncomplete game :L

Well, it happens to us all. But with enough practice, you'll make a game in scope in the limited time, I know it! Never back down, never what?

NEVER GIVE UP! >:D

Nice idea! I really love the loading screen animation. The trolley is a little tough to get going and feels a bit stuck in the mud, especially with how much momentum is lost by crashing it. The retry screen was flashing between black and shopping centre for me too. Cool game though, keep it up!

Developer

Thanks for your feedback! I forgot to stop the loop of the animation for the retry screen, oops

No problem, it's a game jam these things make it through haha! I would also change the resolution of the game a little for the browser version (on itch's settings) it's absolutely MASSIVE on my monitor and I could barely find the full screen button (which I needed to shrink the game size into one viewport haha).
