Closing time. No brakes.

Keep Moving is a turn-based tactics game about steering a runaway shopping cart through a supermarket after hours. Clear out the night staff, reach the exit, and remember the one rule: you must keep moving.

Free to play right here in your browser. No download.


Fight with momentum

Every turn you steer, speed up or slow down, and the cart rolls on. Faster carts hit harder but are harder to stop. Spend Stamina to drift: turn and change speed in the same move.

Put the store to work

Slide across spills, ride the checkout conveyors, and smash display stacks to blast every staff member standing next to them.


Read the danger

Staff show you their next move before you commit. Preview your path, hold I to inspect the board, then find a way through. Or make one.


Take advantage of the Return Policy

Dying isn't the end of the run. You leave a wreck and lose one max HP, but your progress on the floor stays. Get a kill before you die and you choose an upgrade when you come back.

Weaponize your mistakes

Ram an old wreck and it explodes. Your last disaster might win your next fight.
