Express Lane

Speedrun Your Grocery List

You have ninety seconds. Five items on the list. One cart. Go.

Express Lane is a chaotic first person grocery store speedrun. Grab the cart, sprint the aisles, snatch the right items off the shelves, hurl them into the basket from across the produce section, and cross the finish line before the clock hits zero. Every run shuffles the layout and rerolls your shopping list, so the route is never the same twice.

Features

• First person physics chaos in a small grocery store
• Charged throwing: hold the throw button longer for more force
• Push, steer, and crash a cart that actually has weight
• Randomised item spawns and shopping list every run
• Adjustable timer for runs that are tight or relaxed
• Over thirty different produce items, plus a few energy drinks because we got bored

How to win

Find the five items on your list. Drop them all in the cart. Push the cart across the finish line at the store exit before the timer hits zero. That is it.

Tips

• The cart is heavy. Plan your turns.
• Throwing is faster than walking. The basket catches almost anything.
• The list is generated from items that actually spawned, so every run is winnable.

Status

Early prototype. Expect rough edges, missing textures, and no audio yet. We shipped it because it is more fun than it looks(and we had to hand it in for the grade :D).
