How does your game fit the theme?
You must stack the shelves as quickly as possible before the onrush of customers swarms the store and picks your stock clean.

Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes - except the music which has credits in the description :)

it fits the theme pretty well! Good job!

This game is pretty fun! I especially loved the music change when the store opens. It was really funny!

Funny! Throwing the items at the red flashing customers was pretty hard though, there were almost other people in the way.

Submitted

Cool and funny idea, haha

I like the idea of the game and how it fits the theme, it is also pretty fun!

Fun and chaotic game! The depiction of retail chaos, especially with aggressive customers, was spot on. Loved the sudden switch in tone when the store opened, and the frantic gameplay kept me on my toes. It really nails the Black Friday madness vibe!

Fun game, accurate description of working retail.

Nice game about being dominated by aggressive customers

The chaos and concept were so fun LOL.

I jumped out of my seat when the loud music kicked in, it really fit the theme of the jam perfectly! I really liked it, great work!

Submitted

The art style is cute! I really liked the way that you made the tutorial so brief and perfectly informative and how it was super seamless to retry after having the store plundered endlessly

Nice submission :)

I see you are a metal head as well. I had to stay even after the game over screen to listen to those riffs!. Nice Work! lml

Black Friday theme bro's!
Hah, the drastic SWAP to having the store open was very jarring to say the least, lmao.

Definitely made me want to play again and prepare myself better lol. Good minigame!

This is an entirely accurate representation of what working retail is like. Fun concept!

Hey! We did a similar project, so it’s awesome to see your take on it. Visually, your game looks great, and the gameplay feels really solid. Congrats on the awesome work!

Really funny take on the theme, I was thinking to myself how much I liked the piano music just as it swapped and I laughed a bit. Cute game! :)

I loved your take on the theme, as anyone who as worked retail would tell you, sometimes you wanna hit these customers with the product. My only big gripe was that my mouse curser was very tiny and was hard to tell where I was aiming making the game a bit more difficult.

A fun little terrifying shopkeeper experience.
10/10 would experience black friday thievery again.
