Objective of the game is simple, store as much as toilet rolls you can in your pick up truck. To do that you need to use the shopping cart fill it with rolls from the stack and take it outside to put all rolls on the back of the pickup truck. Other customers in the supermarket will block your way and may topple your cart and ruin your rolls. You may avoid them but it is good to retaliate. For that you need to get throwable items by moving in between selves which will give you 10 throwables. By left clicking you can throw in the direction of the green pointer. You can make them unconscious by hitting others with throwables and get them out of your way. But be careful , if you are carrying full load in cart,and if you throw, some of your rolls may get out of the cart. So you have to think of a strategy, do you want to be slow and careful, or aggressive and fast. Finally, the total rolls you stored in the cart will be the final score.

If you score more than 100 please take a screenshot and post it in the comment section.

I have never crossed 100 since I made the game.

Funny premise and great supermarket but I really didn't know what to do!

The objective is to collect as many toilet paper rolls as you can before you run out of time. You need to use your cart to collect and deliver it to your truck, which is parked outside. That's it. But doing it is challenging because of the other customer ai's who will be blocking your way and will be colliding with you. So you need to avoid them or attack them with the throwable items which can be collected by moving in between selves. It may sound simple, but from the day I have made this, I have never crossed score above 100. I hope you give my game a try. I know I haven't given proper instruction in UI, as I didn't have time. But the objective is simple just try to collect as much as you can. And if you are gonna give it a try, and if you cross 100, please send me a snapshot of the score. I must say, it was really difficult for me to cross 100 within time. It seems possible as the cart can hold max up to 50, but as you move it becomes difficult to handle. 

And please go through "how to play" to understand the premise.

I'll give it another go!

Only 3! The rolls drop even when not colliding! ;)

Really cool storm effect in some tries!

Developer

But the collision shape on the cart are very primitive, so there is a very less possibility of rolls falling off the cart because of collision error.

Actually cart is physics simulated and with increase in no of rolls i.e. increase in weight, its handling becomes more difficult. So if you have carried like 40/50 rolls and move fast and collide it will drop. If you are playing on PC, there is a slo-mo mode (toggle Z) that will help you avoid narrow obstacles. Change your max speed with scroll. And if your cart is full, avoid shooting, as it can shake your cart and make rolls fall.
