Love the AI, pushing each other and you around, very cool concept. The quality of the finished product is very good as well, other then minor AI bugs with telekinesis, very clean game!

Hilarious game that perfectly capture the chaos of north american boxing day. Great job

This was fun to play! The art works well, and it was definitely frustrating to get pushed around by the npcs (which I'm guessing was an intentional choice)? I think I was occasionally able to shove one of them inside of the cash registers, which was pretty satisfying, even if they got a little glitchy afterwards.

an easy game with no interesting mechanics, suitable as a waiting game in the delivery app

Looks like y'all had a very similar idea to the game we made lol we even named ours "doomsday sales" your game is definitely more hectic tho! i had a good time i love how the NPC's are menaces which we wanted to do as well but ran out of time unfortunately.

nice! this was funny! completly different interpretation of the theme and i liked it! i would have loved to crash into the other collectors and steal their stuff but i already had a lot of fun! Great entry!!

@mackelio yeah I did want to achieve the gameplay of robbing other NPCs at first, but I didn't have time to finish it

The game really captures the hectic feeling well! I like how intuitive it was to pick up items (just colliding and staying next to the stall) and drop them off at the checkout counter. Movement is fun but I wish I could run faster or mad-dash (I guess that would require the levels being larger). In a more expanded version it would be fun to have shortcuts to different items or different routes. Overall, good job!

Fun game! The collisions can be a bit frustrating, though

Very funny game! Finally I can fight against those who are always on sale and act like crazies. The collisions are a bit frustrating, but great job overall! I love your interpretation of the theme.

I love games when it doesn't require me to read text, solve puzzles, or anything else. I love games when a game simply entertains me with its simplicity, pleasant controls, graphics, animation, and sound. Your game has everything I love. Funny AI. Thanks for playing!

Pretty fun game! I liked the frantic pace and it fit well with the overall mood. I did notice what I think was a bug: Sometimes the NPC shoppers will sort of get stuck and twitch instead of returning to the checkout. I was still able to complete the level by bumping them into the checkout, however. Overall, nice job!
