Hippo Supermarket is a supermarket simulation game. A female character designed to represent the player finds a hippo while walking one day. They agree to help the anthropomorphic animal, Jack Ma, open a supermarket. Jack hires the player to work as the store manager. In this role, the player must perform merge and other tasks to complete orders and build, open and expand the store. Their ultimate goal is to make the supermarket a success.
The store starts as a warehouse filled with crates of different sizes and shapes. Jack directs the player to merge items to create a snack box that produces snacks that they can use to complete delivery orders. They can also merge water bottles to create beverages.
After the player earns enough money, Jack directs them to perform construction on the warehouse to build different areas. They start by adding an entryway, cash wrap and display shelves.
Hippo Supermarket makes it incredibly easy for the player to perform these tasks. It provides a thorough on-screen guide that walks the player through every step. The game also rewards them at intermittent intervals with coins, upgrades and other useful things.
