cool game, there a few bugs like i could scan the same item multiple times, but the main problem was sometimes an item would disappear and i can't finish the current customer :p
but when it works it's pretty fun and the store is well made
good job!
that was cool. at one point a customer walked up and nothing came down the line. so i was fired. not my fault that customer sucks!
Yeah we found out later that the first customer in the queue can get body blocked in the back of store by another customer :'D Sorry for that! thank you sm for playing :P
I managed to get number 5 according to the leaderboards. Nice. Pretty fun little game. Once you find your motion, it's pretty fun to just swipe and clear as fast as possible. I probably coulda done better but I had a customer shoplift right in front of my eyes by just leaving with the guy in front of him and then no one wanted to trust my very capable hands with their stuff. Kinda just sat and chatted with the dude who was staring at me who was also trying to understand what just happened until I got fired. His name was Jim and he had the best smile and fashion sense. For real though, this is a fun game to just sit down and start pickin' up speed in. I will come back to beat my score
Thanks for the backstory on Jim, give him a loyalty card from us the next time you're on shift!
First off thanks for having a mouse sensibility option.
The concept is interesting, I would have add some messsages from the boss to know he is getting angrier and make the theme more connected to it. I enjoyed it, good luck.
Im a little ashamed of how much I enjoyed scanning the same carton of milk 18 times in a row
Boss won't be happy with that! Thanks for playing :D
A few times I would get my cursor stuck on green as if I had something grabbed, but the customer already left with the item, but once I got into the swing of placing and dropping and grabbing again I was surprised by how much fun I had with the hectic grocery swiping. I have way more respect for baggers now!
I am also going to wear my shopping basket as a hat next time I'm at the grocery store!
Great jam entry. I had a blast. Good job.
Wearing the basket is the new meta! Thanks for playing :P
I relieved my years in retail with this one ;)
Where do you think our inspiration came from?! :D Thanks for playing!
Why are these people wearing these baskets as hats?
Also why are all these peolpe looking the same?
Is this just purgatory and I've been sent here to work as an underpaid grocery worker forced to sit at the register for the rest of eternity just because one time in kindergartn I've burnt down a supermarket?
*Allegedly burnt down a supermarket?
Yeah they've never found the bodies...
No one will ever get closure!
I mean, cool game! Had a lot of fun playing!
Reminded me of the good ol' times...
It was very funny and enjoyable. I didnt really get why I was fired after some time ... you should include visual clues on how close to being fired you are.
The inclusion of a highscore board is super-cool!
We were hoping to have some sort of third-person camera to show a dramatic scene of you getting fired but ran out of time. Glad you enjoyed it, the high scores was a last minute push which was worth it (minus the bugs with it 😝)
Thanks for giving it ago!
The bar at the top is how close you are to being fired the boss who is walking up and down also gets more and more red! Thanks for playing :D
There is no bar at the top (I guess its a resolution-thing?) but I did notice the black/red guy walking around - I thought that these were different people xD It makes a lot of sense though ^^
Might have to go fullscreen on the internet version sorry :)
cool game well made. why are the customer wearing there basket on there heads? ahah
They've got no hands!
As others have said, I surprisingly enjoyed working retail wayyy too much.
Playing retail is fun working it isn't! Thank you for playing :D
I really liked the game in general; however, a few items have absurd prices haha. Nonetheless, your game surprised me a lot :).
We wanted the game to be funny and simple so I matched the prices to be absurd like some parts of the game! Thanks for playing it
Calming, soothing. Until the bar starts filling up ofcourse.
Every single 4 pack of beer always double scanned. So I tried to be quick, but that resultet in the item disapperaing making me unable to pickup anything else.
Nice
Thank you for playing, we've found since posting there is a bug where if an item is dropped and then picked back up it can bug out the rest of the round.
A Skimmed milk for 600 bucks and a bottle of 2L water for 50 bucks? what a steal!
The Price for the other milk is nice though.
;)
Interesting take on the theme ! Didn't expect to actually enjoy scanning products but I did ^^
Being able to set the mouse sensitivity is a real plus (especially if you play on a trackpad)
Good job !
I didn't expect this but I strangely love this game, I feel like I could play it for hours and still enjoy it.
thank you! Maybe we will add the other levels we intended to satisfy you more :D
For some reason this game feels calming, though I'm not sure it's supposed to be? Haha. Cute graphics and I love the physics.
Thanks Drums! Wasn’t planned to be but glad you liked it.
I quite liked this one. The graphics were awesome, customer robots with baskets on their heads, that was a great touch. The gameplay was really fun at first, but after 300 points or so it got a bit monotonous, there was no change of pace or anything to make things more spicy. Having said that right at the end I had a robot just come and stare at me without dropping any items, and that was actually really funny, overall I enjoyed the game. Great use of the theme as well.
Ah, also, it would have been nice if I could change my setting (about the mouse sensetivity) while in the game, I had to refresh a few times before I got it right.
Thank you! We did want to try and get two more levels as progression but life happens and we had to go with the first fully finished one! Thank you for playing.
