Welcome to Off The AppStore, our unique weekly feature! Unlike other games we discuss here, these games are not found within the typical app distribution channels such as Google Play Store or Apple AppStore. Instead, they’re available outside of those realms.

In essence, you may need to put in a little effort by downloading non-standard app markets or APKs, or just play the games directly from your phone’s browser. Rest assured, we will clearly explain this for each game. So, keep reading to discover a fresh game or an exciting experience that lies beyond the conventional AppStore.

Many of us are quite transparent about our disdain for the traditional 9 to 5 workday and our dreams of having flexible schedules, engaging in enjoyable activities, and earning a decent income. It’s unclear how or when each person will achieve this, but until that exciting moment arrives, finding ways to manage your job can be crucial. One method of coping is to see if you can turn your job into a game. If you work in customer service, this mental escape can shield customers from your frustration, and that’s possibly what cyrax02 had in mind when they developed Checkout Champ.

In some phase of our lives, we’ve all visited a grocery store, even though they’ve evolved through time. However, an unchanging feature is the checkout area. After your goods are scanned, they need to be properly arranged in bags, and sometimes, employees assist with this task. In this virtual supermarket, you’re being tasked with replicating that role. Your mission is to retrieve a bag, collect all the customer’s items, and arrange them so they fit neatly into as few bags as possible.

As a dedicated store attendant, I constantly find myself in the midst of an intriguing dance between the minimalist shoppers with just a few items and those who seem to have filled an entire conveyor belt. It’s a puzzle sometimes, wondering if there was ever a moment when it was all empty. The task of providing bags and swiftly calculating whether I have enough for the incoming goods is a constant challenge. Time is of the essence here, both for customers and myself, so I strive to work with speed and efficiency. My shift may be limited, but my ambition isn’t – I aim to assist as many customers as possible in the hope that my hard work will lead to that coveted promotion, making my day a little sweeter.

Though it follows the structure of a typical job, an element of game-like excitement is incorporated to keep things engaging. You can use your earnings to purchase temporary boosts to aid in your current task or save up for improvements that will enhance your performance throughout your shifts. This isn’t just your average 9-5; it doesn’t have to be a monotonous grind, minute by minute. Aim to stand out as the exceptional Checkout Champion who will be remembered as one of the greatest grocery store employees in history… at least until the demo grows into a larger establishment!
