I liked the games idea however the cart was a bit glitchy and it was faster to just pick up the items 1 by 1. The controls were way too complicated. I couldn't manage to unlock the cursor so I couldn't figure out what I was supposed to do but I did spend a good time just messing around listening to the music and making a mess of everything. Mood was spot on!
I like the idea of the game. I think it needs a few fixes and expanding though.
I couldn't figure out what was on my specific shopping list. The cart was rickety indeed =D. The controls were too complex. I'd play this again!
@jan Yeah, I kind of just gave up on fixing the cart physics at some point and just embraced them! I planned on adding more items, scalable difficulty, and ai shoppers that would steal items from you, but I ran out of time because I couldn't work on the game today 😞
@moo Same as the above comment, I just embraced the cart the way it was at some point, but the controls were definitely something I wished I could have fixed today! I had every intention of remapping them from what I had set for testing. The back quote or tilde key unlocks the camera though to be able to interact with the ui.
I control the camera and then there is a window where you have to move the mouse (which is not!!!) on the button. Uncomfortable game :(
Besides the physics and the cart being a huge mess, It was fun. Akin to things like Goat simulator, and Surgeon Simulator where the fighting the controls and physics is kind of expected.
Useability changes are what I'd love more than anything, Raycasts that actually pick up what I'm looking at instead of the object near my feet would be a HUGE improvement(But I already mentioned that on stream)
I couldn't work out the controls, the physics felt very glitchy, my cart disappeared somewhere! My sensitivity was way too high I had to change it on my mouse! If those things were fixed I think it could be a good game, but I didn't really get to play the game because of the issues!
The game really had a similar feel to the other "___ Simulator" games. Wonky physics, bad controls, name it all. I carefully stacked all the produce in my cart only for it to explode everywhere as I walked forward. The produce also seems to like to get stuck in walls. Overall it was fun and I had a good laugh playing this.
