Launch Experiment
Slow? Not Working? Try it in Google Chrome.
From the Author:
Enter a product in the search field.
Start out with 100 shoppers. Fire shoppers by pressing the space bar.
When a shopper makes it into the cave, a random product based on your search query is loaded from Google Product Search and displayed to the right.
You are awarded as many new shoppers as the dollar value of the product.
If you see a product you like, roll over it to have a closer look. Click the product if you want to get up close and personal.
The game is over when you run out of shoppers.
There's a (mixed) metaphor in there somewhere.

How To Win And Not Even Press The Spacebar
Step 1: Type in "rolex platnium".
Step 2: Press the space until you get at least one shopper in. The item should be no less then 2.5 k.
Step 3: Put a heavy item on the space ( I used a wiimote )
Enjoy your day, and you will be rich.
Reply to this commentDon't just search "watch".
Search Platinum Watch, and you will get nothing less then 1k.

Reply to this commentextremely fun way to shop!
Reply to this commentbrilliant xperiment
Reply to this commentI put in a search but nothing happened.
Reply to this commentWould work in Firefox if the console detection code worked properly. Sadly, I had to use Greasemonkey to strip those parts. Awesome game anyway. :)
Reply to this commentIt doesn't quite work for me. I press space and nothing happens. Using Chrome 2.0.172.28 :-(
Reply to this commentGreat entertaining tool for impulsive shoppers!!!
Reply to this commentupdated to handle moderately expensive diamonds and trucks without killing the browser.
Reply to this commentI did a search for t-shirts and came across one selling for $50,000. Sadly, the counter maxes out at 9,999, but now it won't go down.
Also, chrome is extremely slow now...
This is why people stopped using Java in favor for faster scripting engines.
Reply to this commentSo you know, this is javascript. Very different. Google the difference. ;)
Reply to this commentSearched for "Diamond". Earned cumulatively about 60000 worth of points in a couple seconds.... App don't like that very much at all.
Reply to this commentOooh, I just won a hundred dollar dildo.
Reply to this commentAwesomely vintage looking.
@jacky, it's javascript, not java, retard
Reply to this commentnice game in java ... but kinda useless and boring?
Reply to this commentI had a truck worth $20000 come up as a search result, and when the score tried to update, it slowed the game down tremendously. I think depending on how much it needs to add, the score should update in larger increments
Reply to this commentI just got a ROLEX watch that worth almost $40000 and it NOT slowed down the game! So this is not a very good idea.
