December 13th-16th 2013 :: Theme: You Only Get One
[ Real World Gatherings | Ludum Deals | Warmup Weekend ]
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 :)

This is so much fun and really smooth to play! Good work, will rate this highly! :D
This is really fun! I have played it at least 20 times already!
- 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!
Graphics, animations en sound are all amazing! And OMG shoppingcard accident?? I lol'd so hard haha
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 :)
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.
The only thing it's lacking is the ability to pick up items from dead people.
AWESOME hahahahah! :D
This reminds me I have to go to Tesco! :D
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.
Oh my god this is so cool, I just spent a perfect time thanks to you ! I played the game almost 15 times before managing to finish it haha
Definitly love it.
Very fun game, it was pretty addictive to make the first full shoplist. Good job.
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.
That was awesome! Some of the music sounds like "Hes a Pirate" from Pirates of the Caribbean though....
Nice! Seeing the shoppers crash into one another makes me laugh so much XD.
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!
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 ;)
That was a really fun interesting idea. The constant death around me was pretty hilarious. Really enjoyed playing this, nice work!
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!
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!
Very well done game. I enjoyed this very much. Great job on all the blender models!
This was a ton of fun to play! I really liked the chaos, actually feels that way while Christmas shopping, honestly. Great job!
This is very funny, and in the top of that, is really well made.
Amazing idea, amazing game! A lot of detail for 48 hours of work.
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.
Funny and enraging in the same time. It's one the best I played here.
One more thing : that final screen slow-mo animation is amazing.
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 !
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 :)
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.
This was soo much fun! One of the best entries I've played so far, rated very highly. :)
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.
Absolutely incredible <3 Rated highly and such great graphics! Incredible for 48h!
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

MORE TIPS AND DETAILS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE
TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
Heh nice! It is way more fun than I tought it would be. The music makes the whole thing very dramatic.
