My Thoughts 💭
Running a supermarket as an alien was honestly a fun and hilarious experience. The quirky alien atmosphere and all the weird little details really added charm to the game. I loved the idea of being this extraterrestrial shopkeeper trying to run a totally normal human-style supermarket… but with alien chaos happening in the background.

As a solo player, though, I found myself wishing I could hire some help, maybe another alien coworker to manage the chaos, especially after upgrading to two gas pumps. Handling everything alone became a bit overwhelming, and having an alien assistant would make the gameplay feel more balanced and even funnier.

The sign/price system was a great idea too, but I never quite figured out how to fully use it to my advantage. I was hoping to trick "uh, persuade" customers into paying insane prices for products, but they didn’t fall for my alien business strategies as much as I expected!

And one thing I think could add a lot of fun: different challenges where agents try to test whether I’m secretly an alien or not. Little investigations, trick questions, or random inspections could add tension and comedy at the same time.

Overall, the supermarket feels a bit too normal for one being run by an alien. I’d love to see more advanced, weird, alien technologies to help run the store, strange machinery, teleportation shelves, gravity-defying storage, alien cash registers… anything that makes the gameplay more unique and fits the theme better.

Even with that, I had a really good time. The game is funny, creative, and surprisingly relaxing. With a few more alien-themed features and some helper options, it could be something truly out of this world.
