SUPER Market Madness by flwns

[raw]
made by flwns for LD31 (JAM)
Hey there! You like unfinished things right?!

Well, Here's what I've been working on for the past 3 days, I call it SUPER MARKET MADNESS.

The game was supposed to be about a guy that is a new hire at a supermarket and has to do a good job scanning customers food as fast as possible. The better you do the more likely you are to keep your job and earn perks from your asshole manager who goes through cashiers like toilet paper.

Currently all you can do is scan butter and chuck it in the general direction of your, currently,non existent bag-boy.

Look for that bar code!
-------------
Controls

WASD - rotates held item

Left Click - Picks up item

Right Click - throws item to bag boy

ESC - quit fullscreen/end game

M - go to fullscreen


I recommend using the standalone version instead of the web player, but whatever floats your boat man.

thanks for coming to this page and reading about or playing my game.

Don't get it but it's unfinished game, so I won't judge.

I think you really managed to capture the soul crushing nature of the cashier job. You should definitely keep going, with a bit of work this could easily be Surgeon Simulator/Octodad type fun

Seemed for a minute it was like surgery simulator but your ringing out a customer instead of cutting them open. I can see potential in this. Good work so far.

Hard to give any ratings - it's unfinished. Apparently buyer wants to be fat as soon as possible :D

Nice Idea, but I am really missing a score... you should have just added like scanned per second or unscanned as mistakes...

Needs a lot of work, but it clearly has potential! I think this could be a lot of fun once it's finished!

It's sad that there's not much in its current state, but I hope in a PostDare version :D

(I can only imagine the Christmas Grocery Shopping Frenzy edition!)

Lol :) My nightmare. Movement is soft and controls well done. I can't figure out what I must do, but there is a cool mood. Sounds in background are great. THX ++

I've always wanted to see a game about scanning items (no joke, I really think you can do something with that pitch!) so I hope you'll expand the concept. :)

This has potential! We can all relate to the poor cashier. I'd like a bit more feedback when the item scans successfully but otherwise this is off to a good start!

I wish I could enjoy this game more, but I've actually done this for a living. Now I need my PTSD pills.
