Checkout Champ
You’re the last line of defense between a mountain of groceries and angry customers. It is time to clock in to your underpaid shift, grab items coming down the belt, choose the right bag and pack as efficiently (and smart) as possible. All while trying to earn a promotion and become the supermarket’s Checkout Champ.
The Basics
Let’s get down to the basics of Checkout Champ by creator cyrax02. This is a drag-and-click puzzle game about stacking items that is part Tetris and part errand run, familiar yet challenging. Like in real life, there is a level of strategy to packing your groceries in the game, as too many heavy items on top of the bag will crush soft items below. You can drag items down to slot into the bags softly or drop them at the top of the bag for maximum speed. Keep an eye on the speech bubbles above the customer’s head because they will sometimes ask for items to be packed in a specific way, so don’t tune out their little Animal Crossing voices too much!

Buying helpful single-use items, like bubble wrap or permanent skill upgrades, will make your shift easier. If items aren’t coming down the line in the right order to fit into the bag perfectly, you can use a second bag to organize the goods. But don’t forget to delete extra bags before the customer is ready to leave. Speed is imperative to your strategy to keep customers happy and your rating high for that sweet, sweet promotion.
Why Should I Play?
So why should you play Checkout Champ? This simple yet engaging, fast-paced game is perfect for short-form play and the mobile gamer on the go. The controls are intuitive, but the tutorial helps understand the item and the upgrade system. The best part about this game is that it is a demo with even more content on the way. Clock in for your shift today and be one of the first to play this awesome strategy puzzle game.
