Supermarket Mania produced by the Alawar company is a nice time management game. Playing as Nikki, a young girl who runs some grocery stores, you have to keep the shelves full of items, the floors clean, the customers pleased with goods and service, and, surely, collect more money and upgrade your store.

We like that there are some types of customers visiting the store, like impatient movie stars littering teenagers and crafty thieves who make the game more interesting and funny.

The gameplay is easy and accessible. The items that the customers require are shown in the bubble above their head and they all have different patience levels. So, you’ll have some time to think and achieve a target goal to pass the level.

The graphics is bright! Lots of colorful details, pretty characters, well-designed stores… Music is brisk and fits the TM game genre completely.

Supermarket Mania is cool TM game for the “dash” genre lovers, but it may not seem very challengeable for the pros, we think it’s the only drawback.
