About this game
Welcome to Retail Therapy—Where the Customer Is Always WRONG!
What is it about?
Retail therapy is a Fast paced Rogue-Lite Arena Shooter where you play as the worlds more dangerously armed and disgruntled employee on the planet. Your goal is to go to work, earn your wage and spend that on trying to last longer and longer in the endless mode.
How it plays
In this game you will be tasked to fend off hordes of angry customers in arena style based levels where you will choose your setting from the PC in your room, here you will also be able to choose what length of level you want to do ranging from 3 Minutes, 10 minutes or everyone's favorite shift... the all dreaded AFD!! All while earning minimum wage! Do not worry though, Customers will sometimes drop tip jars for your hard work that you can pick up so you can speed up the upgrade process!
Difficulty slowly increases overtimes so sometimes you absolutely will need to bring out the big guns.
Upgrades + Progression
Purchase new weapons to add to your armory, we have shotguns, katanas.... and fish? Yep we have an exploding fish and then do it all again JUST LIKE REAL HOSPITALITY :D Each weapon however does cost more depending on what it is, if you want the firepower then you gotta work for it!
Abilities!!
For the real workers here you can also purchase weapon abilities with those hard earned peanuts, whether you want to fire ragdoll managers in bulk or if you want to use a disco ball that shoots lasers or even our personal favorite, get Stabby crabby to help! Only 8 of the weapons have abilities though as 2 of them REALLY do not need the extra firepower.
Ammo Upgrades!!!!
During the game you may find those ammo reserves can be a little bit shallow, so you have the option to use some of that sweet sweet income to buy even BIGGER POCKETS so that you can be assured you can give all of your customers the exact same treatment.
Map Gimmicks!!!!!
Each arena plays completely differently, the Supermarket have long linear sightlines for you to bob and weave in and out of the shelves or even on top of them! The festival offers a wide open space for you to run around and avoid the swarm, there is also a big red button for you to push! And the Restaurant has a slew of obstacles that you can the enemies risk getting caught on!
Work, Buy new weapons, Repeat!
This isn't customer service. This is Retail Therapy!

Optimization Patch - Retail Therapy V1.2.2
We saw that loading HUD and swapping weapons during game-play was spiking resource usage so we have looked into how to resolve this issue so that those on lower end hardware were able to have a smoother gaming experience when playing. We have switched the data gathering mode in engine from "Lazy" to "Instant" so what does this mean? What this does is it will increase loading times ONLY A LITTLE, game is tiny after all, however this will reduce spikes in resource usage during game-play so this in turn should lead to a smoother experience. HAVE FUN!Read full article on Community Announcements (crabbygamesindie)
