The Best Game On The App Store
And I mean it. I played the Shopping Cart Hero series a bit on the computer when I was a lad, and this is essentially everything you could want from a modern game. Controls for tricks with swiping and taping are surprisingly smooth, to the point I was actively going for high combos by like the second area. Just the original games, wipeouts HURT, but I almost always felt it was my fault, not the games’. Aspects of micro transactions exist but are miraculously non-predatory. There is a slot machine you spin after every run, and groupies are now separated into Common, Rare, and Epic. When groupies die now, you have to wait a few minutes before buying them back- but I never found these things mandatory or felt I had to utilize them. The timers, in fact, help add that punishment factor to groupie deaths instead of just buying new ones no problem. No mandatory ads, no constant pop-ups about new events or deals or whatever… This feels like a remnant of the old App Store, yet still functional and playable today. And that is a miracle.
