It has been a long day, but you have one more errand to run. Can you speed through your shopping list and make it to check out before your tablet’s battery and your child’s patience run out? Check your list and run around the store adding items to your cart. Be careful not to get unnecessary items as you have a limited budget. Get as much as you can then, head to the check out counter to see your score!
Controls: WASD - Move Cart Shift - Run Left Click - Extend Arm Right Click - Grab L - Look at Grocery List Esc - Menu
We made the art and music in the game, however we used other’s sound effects. Hope you have fun!

Wacky movement, I couldn't do anything. It would work amazing as those crazy simulator games, just need more polishing :D Also I'd appriciate if list was a part of the HUD and was automatically updated if an item is in a basket.
There's a Surgeon / Goat Simulator feel about the game, which is pretty cool. Unfortunately I don't think I managed to pickup a single item in the game.
Sorry you were unable to move. The physics went very wonky, and we realized much too late that our shopping cart needed to be much bigger to fit the pizza. :\
We had planned to have the list update your tally of cart items, but alas, just ran out of time.
Hope you still had fun with our Shopping Simulator! :D
The game is not bad and the idea neither. But need some polish about the physics, and also I would remove caillou from there or scale it down, because is blocking the shopping most of the times.
Very good game! My favourite part was when you smacked Caillou's head :^) My least favourite part was when my Chocobros kept falling off my shopping cart :^(
Well, everyone who has children *knows* that you cannot win this game. The cart was really difficult to control, but that added greatly to the overall humour of the game as unexpected things kept happening. For example, I don't think I ever smacked my daughter around the head with a box of quinoa before (and that's also the first and last time I wrote the word) so that was a first!
Haha, what a game. I really crave a bottle of maple syrup now. Did you know it's delicious stirred into cold milk?
I really hope you get enough ratings, because this game is really "innovative" in its own right regarding the theme.
SLAP!
Likes: - super silly - super fun - super difficult to actually grab stuff with my wireless mouse
Challenges: - a bit hard to really get stuff done - what exactly IS my shopping list? - I can't help myself but I had a deja vu regarding the shelves and goods that reminded me of another game - if you used pre-made audio, please opt out of the audio ratings. :)
Thanks everyone! Glad you enjoyed the humor with our totally-non-copywriten-child-named-Caillope. :D (But yes, Caillou fills me with rage as well.)
@badly-drawn-rod The hard to control cart just add to the "realism" we strove so hard to achieve. haha XD I would hope you don't bludgeon kids with quinoa in real life.
@thygrrr Not sure if you are joking, but I will have to try that with maple syrup... I am intrigued.
@thygrr Press L to bring up the list. Not sure about the shelves and products... they remind me of sleep-deprived versions of junk from my pantry. Oh and the music and chimes are original, so we wanted feedback on those (wish the sfx and music categories were different). We just ran out of time to re-record footsteps and "crash" noises.
Such a great idea and nice visuals! But unfortunately controls are whacky and it's almost unplayable for me. You should totally try to polish it and release post compo version :)
Very fun game!! I was only able to grab a handful (!) of items because the controls and physics are so crazy, but it was the most fun I've had so far playing LD games. Great job!!
I was curious about this game. But it was really hard to control it, I was able to grab an article in the counter just once (and it wasn't even one from the list T_T). Maybe it's because I have a wireless mouse or my lack of ability xD But I hope that you can give this game some time and fix this things.
Very funny game. Punching your baby is really a nice feature XD. But I couldn't play the game because I couldn't grab a single item. Seriously, how do you do it? I reach with left click, then grab with right click but i just doesn't work. I tried with several items and nothing seems to go in my cart.
I laughed like a hourse while I was playing this game! Products flying around the store, clumsy cart, the sound of the blow on the head of a child... Everything looks crazy and exciting! The only thing is that I couldn't grab most of the products. Maybe if you added some other buyers, it would be fun too!
Funny, I first thought that punching the baby was the only goal and still liked it, so going from slapping to shopping was kind of a bummer but really good job there. It's just too bad that it has many many bugs (even managed to get through a wall and then fell of the map) Keep it ut id' like to see a post jam version!

My american friends always go YUCK, but to me, it's a match made in heaven.

Nice work :)

I've managed to gather a bottle of juice and red pack of something, but it was pretty challenging)
Is there a shopping list and how can one check it?
Good job with this game!
Keep it ut id' like to see a post jam version!
The physics made it really frustrating to actually play though. I never quite got the hang of grabbing things, let alone putting them in the cart.
It is funny though!
