At the start of Supermarket Mania, you start your basic tutorial and training at Torg Corporation which is a big corporation that dominates the market in the game.  Even though you thought you were doing everything right and good, Mr Torg decides to fire you to replace the staff with a team of robots. After being out of job, you finally found a new job at a run-down grocery store. Well… that’s where the fun begins as you start out in the new store.

After playing the basic levels, you know that your primary job is to keep the shelves of the store stock so that the customers can get what they want and leave the store as a satisfied customer without losing patience. So to keep up with the game, don’t wait until the shelves are empty restock as often as you feel like it.  Remember to remove trash if there’s any and drop it at the recycle bin. What I do like is that you can pick up all at 1 go without any constrain on number of trash you can pick at a time.

There are different types of customers who require different items and have different patience levels. I don’t think it’s really necessary to memorize who needs what and what their patience level is like, as long as you fulfilled your primary job of restocking the shelves, this will not be a problem. But of course if you can manage to memorize the customer’s profiles, it’s an added bonus to the game. The only few types of customers that require extra attention are the movie stars, teenagers and the thieves. Movie stars boost your sales so keep a look out on them if you want to get more cash for upgrades. As for teenagers and thieves, they are more like trouble makers. So watch them closely to keep them out of mischief.

You can purchase a variety of upgrades for your store. Yes, I know the flooring is an eyesore at the first store and the first thing that you probably want to upgrade is the flooring. But normally I will leave beautification to later as getting money in is more important than anything else in the game.  Most upgrades like cart and food upgrades can be carried over as you advance through the levels so no worries about wasting money to upgrade them as you advance to the other stores.

Overall I feel that this game is pretty short which you can probably complete the whole game in less than 5 hrs and on top of that it’s pretty easy to get the expert score for each of the level. Except for the last few levels which I had to replay a few times to get the expert score. Even though this game is not considered new which I remembered playing it a few months ago but still I do like the nice graphics and I do hope the game developers can create a sequel to this.
