SuperShopaholic

SuperShopaholic is a tiny game that is really a sociopolitical statement about

the pointlessness of consumerism. You steer an infinite shopping cart through

an infinite mall, frantically swooping goods off the shelves into a cart that

never fills.

There is no finish line. There never was.

The "rewards" are the joke: you grind to unlock the ability to consume faster,

and the prizes are absurd status symbols that, once bought, change nothing.

Mechanics:

* Grab everything. Emoji products fall down the mall; catch them for cash.

* Power-ups are the fantasy. Grab a GOLD card or a rarer BLACK card to shop

faster with a 2x / 4x money multiplier. The reward for consuming is the

ability to consume harder.

* Status symbols. Periodic BUY NOW events offer a Ferrari, Yacht, Mansion or

Private Jet. Buy it and it joins your trophy shelf, and then absolutely

nothing changes. You keep shopping.

* A STATUS meter fills up and, as the game helpfully notes, it doesn't do

anything.

* No win state. The speed only ever increases.

Controls: tap or drag to move the cart. A hardware keyboard works too

(left/right or A/D, P to pause).

Technical notes:

* Fully offline. The app requests no permissions and makes no network

connections. The whole game is a single self-contained HTML page bundled in

the app and rendered in a WebView (HTML5 canvas, vanilla JavaScript, Web

Audio for synthesized sound effects; no audio assets, no tracking, no ads).
