🏎️ Window Dash

Window Dash (also released as GroceryDash on itch.io) is a fast-paced Unity game built in 48 hours during the University of Waterloo Game Jam 🎮.

In this chaotic grocery pickup simulator, players race against time to fulfill car order tickets! Each car pulls up with a grocery list, you’ll need to dash into the store, grab the correct items, manage your limited carrying weight, and deliver everything back before the timer runs out.

Strategy meets speed, plan your runs, pick lighter or heavier items wisely, and stay calm under pressure to become the ultimate grocery runner! 🛒
