(Redo of a suggestion game I did a long time ago. This time in pixel art! Updates infrequently once or twice a week, I hope.)
The tribe of Aisle 4 has long been small, weak, and largely ignored. Once, it was a great power, ruling the highest shelves of their Aisle, feasting on quality honey and oats, enjoying plasma-TVs. Once. Now, resigned to the lower shelves, they must subsist on On Sale cereals, discount peanut-butter, and radio.
No one knows what reduced the tribe of Aisle 4 to such a state, but you know definitely who's going to bring it back to glory. You are. Take your HB pencils. Ready your tape. Your journey of Megamall begins.
Marketlings:Marketlings are tiny creatures that inhabit Megamall and its myriad Stores, Markets, and Aisles. The Titans once roamed Megamall, their thundering steps heralding their wake. Now, the Titans are sparse, appearing once a millennium, if at all. With the Titans out of the way, the Marketlings now rule far and wide inside Megamall, from the capital of Flormart, to the great Sin-Ema where the oracles see visions, to the monumental El-ava-tor, where one can ascend to the heavens.
Marketlings live for about a few months, in Titan terms. Some have lasted a year or two, though those are rare. They eat the infinite bounty left to them by the Titans who left this world. It replenishes as well: a great steed with rumbling wheels and a roaring voice, a deity in itself, D'liveree, comes with great gifts of cereal and luxuries.
Some Marketlings, mainly those from the capital, are civilized and have constructed many great monuments. Most, though, reside in lesser markets. These Aislanders reside on the countless Aisles where Marketlings house their tribes, eating cereal and soda. Lesser still, a few Marketlings explore the entirety of Megamall, roaming stores for treasures and loot, fending off dread rats and spiders.

However way you wish to bring glory to Aisle 4 is up to you. There are many quests to further yourself, your party, and your tribe along the way, and many dangers too. What you choose to do, and how you do it, will influence the well-being of Aisle 4.
