In the universe of arcade games, once every few months there will likely be a flash game with superb graphics and a very in depth design scheme. When you discover a flash game like this you often think to yourself, "This game will likely be a hit for sure." Now, on even more unlikely occasions you will play a game with third-rate graphics, and an idea that really isn't all that distinctive... but it's extremely habit forming and you have no idea why! That is the kind of flash game that will be discussed today, it took the internet by storm with it's simple design and just overall fun gameplay. This game is none other than Shopping Cart Hero! (Game link can be found below)

In a nutshell, you are just a simple stick dude who has the dream of one day jumping his way by means of shopping cart into the record books. The stick dude starts up on a hill and after pressing a few keys in correct timing he will jump in the cart, roll down the slope, and ascend to impressive distances. At the end of each jump you are taken to a shop where you are able to purchase items that will aid you reach even greater distances such as rockets, high-tech wheels, and even groupies for extra points.

Okay, my recommendation for beating this online game ( and it really is not difficult, you just need to play it ) is just to get right in there and perfect the timing so you can get perfect velocity. The first timing section is in which you click up on the keys right when you past a pole thingy; time this out correctly and you're left and right speed will increase. The second timing section is at the end of the jump where, again, you click up on the arrow key pad and this will determine how high you will travel. Successfully get max on both of these and you will achieve success. It's that simple. Be careful to land flat when you hit the ground so you don't fall out of your cart. Also, if you land on a elevation and your cart is at the same angle you will roll farther or so it appears.

Now, for the shop items, it's really you're choice in which order you buy them, but I like to buy an upgraded wheel first, then the second wheel, then save for a rocket, afterward invest in the last wheel and then just wait to buy the remaining rocket upgrades. I usually don't purchase groupies or tricks until the end just for fun.

There you have it!That's all the strategy there really is required with this flash game! It is very tricky to score this flash game as it is very basic and the graphics really aren't fantastic, but it is incredibly fun and incredibly popular so I give it a 7.5/10
