About the Game

Shopping Simulation Roguelike!

Max out your budget and buy as much as you can!

Budget Binge

A game where you compete to see how close you can get to spending your entire budget!

Challenge Mode

The main roguelike mode where difficulty gradually increases.

Consider what customers want and the type of products available as you shop. Doing so will earn you bonus items like:

  • Discounted Items

  • Budget Increase

  • Tax-Inclusive Prices

However, you'll also encounter negative effects such as:

  • Price Hikes

  • Annoying Store Clerks

  • Hidden Prices

Clear the final customer's shopping request to complete the stage!

Free Mode

A practice mode for Challenge Mode.

Take control of a customer with a massive budget and shop to your heart’s content!

Party Mode

A local multiplayer mode using a single mouse.

The budget decreases after each round of shopping.

The game ends when you either exceed the budget or it drops to a single digit!

Game commentary and streaming are welcome!
