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 :)

- Stunning graphics(almost can't believe you did all that in 48h)
- Dramatic music fits perfectly
- Funny concept
- Laughed out loud at the death screen
What else can I say? You got me!
MRvanderPants16 Dec 2013, 09:23
Graphics, animations en sound are all amazing! And OMG shoppingcard accident?? I lol'd so hard haha
juaxix16 Dec 2013, 10:10
Haha, so fun , didnt have time to check code but looks like people are avoiding each other to not crash but also have a force to keep searching for what they need to buy, this is fantastic :)
TheCams16 Dec 2013, 10:12
Ahah, great idea, great game !
ossah16 Dec 2013, 10:31
Lol. Loved this! Great fun and great humour! I spent so much on stuff I didn't want!
Loved the music/effects too!
One of my favourites so far.
Chompson16 Dec 2013, 10:33
The only thing it's lacking is the ability to pick up items from dead people.
DST16 Dec 2013, 12:06
This is pretty fun! :D
AlanZucconi16 Dec 2013, 13:25

Pretty neat game, and the graphics are awesome, especially considering that you made it within the 48h + gamecode.
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.

Oh boy, best game of LD28 so far! I love it, going to bookmark this so I can come back to it later.

It's just a shame it doesn't have any direct ties to the theme.

Very fun game, it was pretty addictive to make the first full shoplist. Good job.

Thanks guys, I'm pleased you're all enjoying it so much ;)
Lacutis17 Dec 2013, 00:42
Great game. It gave me a list a few times that I couldnt complete like needing 10 printers.
Impressive amount of modeling done for the time frame.
The crashes are hilarious, as are the dead bodies.
conormn17 Dec 2013, 02:24
Really tight game. Great job!

That was awesome! Some of the music sounds like "Hes a Pirate" from Pirates of the Caribbean though....

I must say this is a fantastic game! The idea and execution is brilliant! It has made me want to try using Unity :)

i like it i ended up bursting out with laughter when i crashed sometimes

I am laughing so hard on this game right now! It's just awesome! Sooooooooooooo fun!

Awesome game. It's easily the best shopping cart simulator I've ever played.

Bro u did this!! I had the same idea for the previous LD, but I failed. You rock!
dudsen17 Dec 2013, 19:33
I literally played a gazillion times until i managed to get all items. Somewehere inbetween i freaked out, because this $'*! grabbed the last printer available in front of my eyes. At this point, i tackled the others on purpose :D
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 ;)
Jellycakes17 Dec 2013, 22:42
That was a really fun interesting idea. The constant death around me was pretty hilarious. Really enjoyed playing this, nice work!
eternalmajin17 Dec 2013, 22:43
Absolutely amazing. I hoped for a way to take out other shoppers to recover items that they were out of on the shelves. Those jerks took all my planes!

stvr19 Dec 2013, 14:09
Yes. This is amazing. A roguelike shopping sim? I love it. There's so much strategy that emerges as you learn what's in which isle, keep an eye on your list while watching out for other shoppers, etc. And then there's the thrill of narrowly avoiding a crash at the last minute! My only problem was that items were getting garbage collected that I needed to buy :( Also, it seems like it would be possible to crash into a cart that spawns right in front of you, but I didn't experience that. This is definitely in my top 10 for the compo!

This was a ton of fun to play! I really liked the chaos, actually feels that way while Christmas shopping, honestly. Great job!

Super fun and unique, although a bit hard :(

Amazing idea, amazing game! A lot of detail for 48 hours of work.
Zerkruemler24 Dec 2013, 12:18
I like it, I like it, I like it!
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.
mmickyman24 Dec 2013, 16:30
Funny and enraging in the same time. It's one the best I played here.
mmickyman24 Dec 2013, 16:34
One more thing : that final screen slow-mo animation is amazing.
Zephyr8924 Dec 2013, 18:47
This game is too funny. However I did find find that some of the text didn't fit the screen on my MBP.

Really nice game ! The graphics are amazing, animations too. The gameplay is smooth, funny idea. I had a great time playing your game. Wonderful work !

michail26 Dec 2013, 01:07
Great game! Very hard to beat, but the final satisfaction was absolutely worth it. Sometimes there are less items on shelves than on my to-buy list, but that adds even more drama to it :)
Sebastian
Sebastianauthor26 Dec 2013, 08:30
Thanks everyone!
@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!

I had absolutely no chance completing that list, but I'm also one of those who don't celebrate Christmas (in part because of exactly this insanity you show here)... Superb little satire.
ViliX28 Dec 2013, 14:28
This was so fun to play. Just can't see the theme connection :(

After a few play throughs of dying and randomly running into other customers, I'm done. Moves too quickly and leaves much to be desired.
SK16Games8 Jan 2014, 16:44
Amazing game :D It was so fun, and had a very nice concept :) The graphics were very good too, and overall it was a fantastic game 10/10 ;D
