Really fun! I suck, but I had a good time! There was some lag, but not your fault :]!

Definitely gets the hectic feeling across, the music changing speed with the timer is a good touch! I find it funny that you can just steal stuff from the NPCs walking around to save time. Managed to get 2 out of 3 items in the end.

Well done, it's a lot of content for the time allowed with almost no external assets!

Finally completed a game! It took me around 10-15 retries before learning the layout and what each item looks like, but hey, finally I've got a win. As one of you mentioned, we basically had the same idea for the jam. I guess like minds think alike! 

The game felt a bit harsh given that walking from the freezer to the till took 6 sec round trip, which cannot even be compensated by the 5 sec bonus. Also, I can't find the basket, and the trollies are sadly bugged :( But that hugely contributed to the tone of the game, so that a plus perhaps?

Things I like:

• Good sense of urgency, it gets the rush feeling really nailed down
• Lots and lots of items, though kind of curious, some of them never get used
• Music is super catchy

Suggestions:

• Quite laggy, possibly too many assets or too much code running at the same time?
• It would be nice to have a sprite preview of the item instead of text only

Anyway, nice work expecially given how little time your team has got for the jam! Keep up the good work!

The concept is simple. Which is good because it is easy to understand. You have a list of items and get them from the shelf within X time frame.

Execution wise, the player is spawned outside which slows down the pace of the game. Since it’s like a grabbing game. Why not have the player already inside of the store and you hit a start button. Like those Mr. Beast videos lmaooo

The items in the shelf could be organized more like in an actual grocery store that is separated by produce, diary, kitchenware, etc. Some of the items are very random which causes frustration and this is amplified by the short 60 seconds timer and lag. Items can be bunched up like bunch of carrots in carrots basket.

I think the lag is due to the amount of duplicate assets that are in the game. Maybe you can scale the store down to make it smaller. You can still find items in smaller scale. Like referencing a page out of I Spy books. Which are confined in a [small area] but just has more visual noise to keep the eye for searching.

In comparison, your 3D store is like a maze and the player has to memorize the layout which is tough for playing first time.
