About the Game

About

In Cartastrophe, the goal is to collect shopping carts and bring them back to the store. But be careful, they are hard to control and could send you hurling at a car! Find your own path and avoid obstacles.
The game is a mix between jank controls and puzzle solving, and features 6 original maps, along with an in-game Level Editor

Story (Pretty unimportant but kind of relevant)

As for the story, or background to the game (spoiler free, don't worry), You play as Carter, a new recruit at a grocery store. Your first and only task at your job is to get the shopping carts that have been put around the parking lot back to the store without getting run over, or without bumping into parked cars.

Customization

There is a player customization option to choose between many different skins, some of them being references to other games, and a few being inside jokes among the development team :)
The in game level editor adds a whole new layer of customization, as with the right talent and spare time, you can create any map you want, along with the ability to save and load other people's maps.
