Aisles of Glory

***Hauler Aisles of Glory*** (or simply ***Aisles of Glory***) is a video game series made by No Frills. It is playable on desktop and mobile platforms via a web app. It uses 8-bit pixel art graphics and an arcade runner format. The goal of this game is to control the player character to earn points by collecting items (as in "Groceries", or "Hauls") while avoiding obstacles (as in "Frills" and "Obstacles") as they run through aisles in a No Frills supermarket.

## Gameplay

The main objective of this game is that the player assumes the role of a playable character by the identity of "Hauler" to score as many points as possible before running out of lives. The player can select the appearance of the Hauler before each game. Once the game starts, the Hauler runs to the entrance of a No Frills grocery store (the name prefix of which is determined based on the nearest No Frills store from the player's location) and picks up the flyer. Then the Hauler, now with a basket, proceeds to run through the aisles for regular gameplay.

In all games, the player controls the Hauler using the up arrow, down arrow, and spacebar keys. The arrow keys switch the Hauler to a higher or lower lane, while the spacebar makes the Hauler jump, allowing the Hauler to reach items at a higher level or leap low height obstacles. On mobile devices, the keyboard controls are replaced with on-screen buttons as the red up arrow, red down arrow, and yellow circle, respectively, giving the impression of an arcade machine. The Hauler starts with three lives, and loses one if the Hauler runs into an obstacle. Grocery items of varying value based on their particle colors regularly spawn as the game progresses, which can be collected for points. The Hauler gains 100 points for white Hauls, 300 points for green Hauls, and 600 points for blue Hauls.

Along the way, the Hauler may encounter Power Ups to aid the Hauler in hauling. The Hauler may activate these Power Ups by collecting them.

Once the game has ended, the player can redeem 500 PC Optimum points for their PC Optimum account, with more points given for higher scores in later editions, and share their score on the leaderboard. The Aisles of Glory games are available to play on aislesofglory.nofrills.ca until No Frills has finished giving out a set amount of PC Optimum points.

## Trivia

* The aisle of glory is a well-known phrase in Christianity. The word itself comes from Revelation 7:14, which describes "Jesus’ victory at the Second Coming when everyone will bow down to him and worship his name forever.”
* In-store obstacles , the game does not take into account during its introduction.
* Even though the limousine and the speed boat are considered "Frills" that the game prompts the player to avoid, the player can jump on and walk on them normally like any other in-store obstacle. Power Ups and even Hauls sometimes spawn above them.
