During the SARS-COV-2 pandemic you're advised to stay home. But what happens when your supplies get low? Well you need to go where supplies are grown, the grocery store!
Welcome to Appie!
Get the items on your shoppinglist, pay and leave the store. Simple right? Keep your distance from other shoppers or spray to disinfect them and get your items before the store is empty.
* Replayability: You can play this multiple times without getting bored due to the randomized elements. * Art: All in all, everything was pleasant to look at * Level Design: On your first try, you can find items very intuitively due to the clearly distinguishable areas of the super market
What could be improved
* Sounds: Some more auditive feedback on player actions would have been nice * Music: There was no ingame music * UI: Having to open the shopping cart and shopping list separately each time to check what is still missing was a bit tedious. The buttons were also triggered when spraying disinfectant. * Disinfecting mechanic: I really didn't find much use for it.
In all its simplicity, I found this game actually plays up the anxiety of shopping during a pandemic. The soundtrack with the incessant beeping and occasional cough is perfect. Juggling the list and basket and overlaying the two "inventories" really reminded me of real life shopping. I managed to get through without spraying anyone- which I figured was fairly rude. ;) Thanks for the game!
