Shopping Spree by Devastus

[raw]
made by Devastus for LD 40 (JAM)

Accompany other semi-intelligent beings in your quest to buy all the things. It's Black Friday all over again!

This was personally a pretty fun project, but ultimately fell quite short and unfinished due to mismanaged time. I believe the core idea and gameplay are pretty fun though, so hopefully you'll like it!

Note: There won't be a WebGL version this time as Unity 2017 seems to not be able to compile it no matter what I try. That's a damn shame.

Tutorial (READ!)

  • Your objective is to collect as many products as you can before time runs out. If you collect everything, you can run to the cashier ahead of time to finish the level and get extra points.
  • Dishing out some good ol' knuckle sandwiches score you points as well.
  • You might want to avoid any moshpits when holding more than two products if you intend to get out in one piece. The more products you're holding, the more you'll attract attention, and the weight will also slow you down.

Controls

  • WASD or Arrows to move
  • Space to brake (useful mainly for DRIFTING)

Bugfixes

Super fun! Bumping in other cars is just as bloody as needed) Enjoyed a lot!

I thought it was funny, the only issue was when the enemy shoppers would get stuck in the corners. Overall though music was fitting and the graphics were good. ^^

really fun game! didn't think i will enjoy it, but when grasped what to do it was very nice :) controls make it hard just enough to still enjoy it but not be bored with simple driving! didn't exactly know when i kill someone and i had 1 scenario when everyone was stuck at the very bottom of the map and i couldn't see anything because of the blue wall. It would be great to have more rounds with smaller amount of customers because after 4 the next stage is just brutal :D Thanks!

This was amazing :D incredibly detailed and polished, great concept. The customiser was a nice addition too. Well done!

Such a great game, but it felt a little unfair at times; mainly when you slammed into another shopper head on and the game decided that they were the winner, not you. If some work was done to make the winner of each clash feel slightly less random, I see a lot of potential here!

Really fun and great concept. I don't think Act 3 is beatable if it is please tell us how :D but it doesn't matter, smashing feels good. Music and art style also great.

Also, the customisation was a nice touch. Nude shopping anyone? :P

Hah, funny game, some funny products labels, floaty controls adds to the silliness, pretty fun game overall.

The best game I've played thus far. Its hilarious theme make minor annoyances, like the hard controls and the kinda-crapshoot of what will constitute a ram or not part of its chaotic charm. Bravo!

Really good game. Reminds me of Supermarket Sweep, if it was hosted by a maniac. Really rather fun!

**What i liked:** Customisation was a nice addition, manic fun, music, humour. Always like a leaderboard ;)

**What i liked less:** The controls were somewhat difficult to grasp BUT i do understand the mechanic you were going for here. "Pooling" of computer characters and the amount of times a head-on collision meant MY blood on the floor :(

Overall, great entry, well done!

I had a blast playing this the music was great as were the sound effects (I liked the shaking cart noises, would have enjoyed a squeaky wheel here and there). I would have liked if the steering felt a little more intentional, but the hectic nature was a large part of the fun. Awesome entry!

This was too much fun. I just wish I could finish the serious shopping day. That is difficult. I love this game. Is it possible to get items off of the various props after they are flung onto them?

This is so good! I need a multiplayer version of this in my life.

This is awesome, the idea is great and the implementation is even better! The battle for items is really fun and the level design and sounds are really nice! The only criticism I have is that the controls can be a bit tricky sometimes (for example if you are going against a wall) and that you can't see yourself if you are pushed to the near edge of the level, where the wall blocks your view. But that doesn't change that this is awesome!
