Last Chance Supermarket by Sebastian
Last Chance Supermarket is an exhilarating shopping experience, with death lurking around every aisle.
The game involves madly rushing around the shops late on Christmas Eve, trying to purchase a few special things for the big day. You only get one chance a year to really show your family how much you care, so make sure you get everything on that list! Try not to buy too much extra stuff though as money is tight and your wife is fussy about clutter! Above all, however, please don't get yourself killed by a speeding shopping cart...
Use your mouse to steer the shopping cart around and sidle up to the things you wish to purchase, whereupon pressing the spacebar will pop them into your trolley.
I hope you'll forgive my rather 'loose' implementation of the theme this year round, the idea is there, but certainly no definite 'You only get one' mechanic. Unless you want to count the fact that you only get one trolley?!
Regardless, I hope you have some fun with it - certainly was a blast to make.
Now excuse me while I tumble into bed, I'll be back in the morning to play your game, if you leave a comment that is :)
Here's a gameplay video:

- Dramatic music fits perfectly
- Funny concept
- Laughed out loud at the death screen
What else can I say? You got me!
Loved the music/effects too!
One of my favourites so far.
This reminds me I have to go to Tesco! :D
It was very nice to see how you got the music get more dramatic mixing it with a piece of LoTR OST.
As you pointed out, the theme wasn't really in place. But I had some fun crashing my cart around the supermarket.
Congratulations.
It's just a shame it doesn't have any direct ties to the theme.
Definitly love it.
Impressive amount of modeling done for the time frame.
The crashes are hilarious, as are the dead bodies.
But i managed to check out once, it only cost me about 8000 quid. Best buy ever.
You really managed to nail down this chaotic feeling of christmas mayhem.
5 stars from me.
BTW: Thumbs up for the music and sfx as well ;)
Hey this is cool. All these ridicilous details are fantastic. Also the dramatic music is fantastic.
I didn't make it to buy everything needed, but hey: Better alive and spent a lot of money on unneeded stuff than died in a shopping cart accident.
@michail, the game ensures at the start that there are enough items to complete your list, but then it's up to you to rush and get them before the bots do ;)
I wanted to have some way to fight the bots for items they had pinched, trolley jousting or whatever!
