This game perfectly sums up how I feel when I am in a rush at the grocery store. Can't remember where anything is, racing the clock, trying to remember what I need.

I thought this game was absolutely hilarious and super well done!

Wow, that game is really hilarious rofl. I love it. I bet making it was really fun. The voices are phenomenal and the music is really good. I'm just walking around a grocery store frantically looking at shit with this happy, upbeat music while trying to push everyone out of my way. I guess it really is like a grocery store, isn't it?

Anyways, great job guys! This was as a really fun and humorous game.

Fantastic game. The grabbing mechanic had me spamming grab just for the fun of it. Thanks!

Best game I've played so far! I love the phone calls.

The phone calls are really fun to listen to and the stretchy arm + the sound effects make the game much more amusing to play than what "grocery store simulator" implies. Really enjoyed it!

Great game, with a very good feeling both to follow the goal of the game and to mess up the whole market.

Ótimo jogo, com uma sensação muito boa tanto para seguir o objetivo do jogo, como para bagunçar todo o mercado.

I loved this game! The sound effects were so good and it was really fun to try to find stuff in the store. The mustard was the hardest. To find.

My favorite little touch was the laughing in the background of the phone calls. It really made me smile because I could tell it was a bunch of good friends who were just having fun making a game!

Awesome stuff.

This is simply fantastic. The game's design is so funny and everything fits perfectly with the game's idea (the wobbly hand, the goofy NPCs, the weird calls and so on). Would love to see a full game with different stuff to do about this.

Fantastic job, keep it up!

It's entertaining. At first the white items confused me, but rapidly you understand that this is your target and it's much easier.

Love the idea and looks fantastic! One idea for a gameplay feature I had was to add was that in later rounds you should to steal stuff out of other customers hands or something because they are all gone and they could steal stuff from you.

Hilarious game. Short and sweet with a great plot twist. The audio clips are just brilliant and the grabbing mechanics are really satisfying. Just wish the sensitivity was adjustable.

Stealing is wrong but I heard the owner of Tomato Town chews pencils when he borrows them so I don't feel bad. 5 stars.

This game is pretty amazing, hard to think of anything bad about it at all. I loved the phone calls, played a few times just so I could hear more of those haha. I fell for the bagel donut thing and I don't know how to feel about that. Great job!

The funniest game I've played so far! Simple, but in a good way. Needs a couple rounds of play so that you actually know what you're looking for (the bagels/donuts thing definitely got me the first time), but once you get the hang of it it's great, silly fun. I loved it!

Oh man I was laughing out loud by the end, so much fun! I loved the last section so much. The art style, sound and physics mesh so well together, it's really something special.

Wow, awesome job!! I really liked this game, it was fun and very smooth. The style was also pretty sweet.

I played this game on stream last night and it had me laughing pretty hard! The mess this character makes while trying to get his groceries is hilarious. I think I escaped with only $400 worth of groceries at the end. It was a lot of fun. Great job!

Top marks for humour, those phonecalls are so funny (especially the watermelon one!). The weird arm mechanic and the groceries flying everywhere made it quite a lot of fun to play. I enjoyed stealing the employees' tomato hats.

My favorite game I've played so far. The humor was probably my favorite part. Great job overall.

Great game overall!

If i had to say something bad about it, it would that the first time you play it is not obvious that there is a time limit to do buy stuff.

Audio and art are awesome, and the slimy extensible arm is my favoutite thing about the game.
Congratz!

Great Game!! Funny I made a pretty similar game in concept just 2d not enough attention to the arm and not as good as yours. Very nice submission :smile:

I enjoy it a lot! Would it be could to have some kind of point by product grabbed ok, or something. Sound FX is great, as well as graphics!

so funny! you could bitcrush the phone conversations and take out more high end to make it sound more phoney

Where are the goddamn cereals?!?? In all seriousness this was fun especially with the sounds from the calls and those announcements!

This is so great. The graphics, the music, the arm physics, ...

The last phonecall had me laughing and wrecking total havoc in the shop before encountering a guard with $300 of stolen goods.

5/5

Such a fun game, the visuals, the audio, the humour, pretty much everything was great. Would love to see this idea expanded on into a full game.

This was so much fun to play! I loved the art and the mood. It gives me the same feelings I had playing the katamari series, just as crazy and light hearted.

Don't know what to say... I truly love every aspect of this game, it is much more fun than I initially expected. I kept trying to take watermelons till I noticed the shopping list in my hand. My next shopping session will be different :D

Hilarious execution, I love the physics!

One problem I had was my mouse kept moving off the screen

Great visual style and uniquely wobbly arms, and the dialogue was hilarious stuff. Love the physics here.
So good, I think I'm going to play it again.

Probably the most hilarious entry I've played so far. I loved the graphic style, the game mechanics, the voice acting and ridiculous stuff like the donuts/bagels. Only problem is that I found the wording quite American-centered, as a non-native English speaker, I did not understand all of the voice acting and I was a bit confused by some of the requests : it took me a moment to understand that "pop" meant "soda" and that "Tomat-O's" were cereals, or maybe that was on purpose. Anyway, awesome job!

Pretty fun little game, enjoyed looking for the items and seeing the people.

One of the best entries I've played so far! Only complaint is that the interpretation of the theme felt a bit like an afterthought, but the game itself is fun, funny, and has a great goofy style to it.

Very funny graphics and hand moving. I like it and enjoy this game. But relevance of theme is low.

Loved it!! The phonecalls and the shop audio are hilarious! Good job with the music aswell!
The guy seems a lot shorter thabn other people and not sure how it sticks to the them but this is one of my favourite games so far! great job!!

Very funny game! Loved the hand-effect and the sounds that come with it. I was super confused about the cereal though? It's apparently the "Tomat o's" ? :D
The Graphics and sound (especially with the police) are so stupid, that it makes it super funny. I enjoyed it very much!

I had lot of fun plying this one. Is it you who made a similar game for Ludum 38 with the player driving a caddy? Well this one is better on every point! And it's totally in the theme. Good job

Clever game, had more fun doing my grocery shopping then I've ever had in real life. The audio and graphics worked so well together and grabbing things was nicely done with the stretchy hand.

17. Dec 2017 · 18:12 UTC
Awesome! Great vibe and I love the audio. The actual gameplay of looking for items is about as fun as it is in a normal grocery store, but the goofy physics make up for that. Nice work!

For now, **the best Ludum Dare 40 game** I played!

I absolutely love the humor (i.e. product names, special offers and voice calls :smile:)
