And then I read your journal, and sure enough, you were thinking the same thing. Thank you.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I feel like this game has two ideas that would work independently, but when combined feel a bit weird. The dropping game doesn't need the narrative of the supermarket nor the distinct foods to work well. And the supermarket spree is hampered by the dropping mechanic, which puts limits on how frantic the shopping portion can be. I might split these up into two separate games, and consider how to fill in the gap left by the other in a way that accentuates the strong aspects of each."}],"images":["ld27\/11192-e69f3ec32ab8832e92c25043c0d2de34.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/s\/pp9hh7gpmvvhrd2\/SwipeTheRoast.zip","text":"Windows"},{"url":"https:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/s\/r5xtymn4905bpcp\/SwipeTheRoast.love","text":"Love"},{"url":"https:\/\/github.com\/cobrajs\/ld27","text":"Source"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"24358","g_author":"11192","g_event":"LD27","g_eventkey":"18","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"24388","g_title":"Swipe The Roast","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"1132","g_commentcount":"13","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/273708\/11192-shot0.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"Swipe the Roast: A game about grocery shopping\r\n\r\nDrive your cart through the grocery store and grab as much food as you can, but try not to stack it too full, or else you will lose money from dropping groceries.\r\n\r\nNote: This is a little unpolished.
