I really liked the game! The art and colors reminded me a lot of my game. Did you also use https://www.pixilart.com to make your game? I liked the interpretation of your theme a lot too. Good stuff!

I will definitely limit how far the can spawn from the player more. Thanks for the feedback!

Thank you for the review!
Unfortunately the web build seems to have bugs that weren't present when I was working on the game locally. It's the first time this happened to me so I will make sure to test out the web build extensively on my next jams.
If you could help me out a bit, do you imagine levels working for this game? Right now I'm debating if I should continue the project mainly because right now the game can be beaten in 3 minutes and I'm struggling to see a path forward. I only had 5 days for this game so the game loop is extremely simple...
If you go for the level route you could have different cities with different backgrounds and different kinds of trash, the terrain can also change a bit.
Whether to continue or not a project is always difficult, if you are not sure, you could try continuing the idea on another short jam, or maybe just give it a rest and you can take the decision later with fresh eyes.
Great theme. At first, I didn't notice that the trash pile was getting higher, but then I realized that the trash was covering the building. The visuals and sound are both very appropriate.
However, I found that the claw not retracting automatically made things a bit chaotic, so I ended up just moving the car directly most of the time.
Oh, and I also encountered a bug where the claw somehow ran out of the screen.
Hi, thanks for the review! I made the player control the retraction to give more control of how far you want it to go. Now that I think about it making it retract if an object is caught isn't a bad idea overall.
I have a question about the bug though, many people reported it but I cannot seem to replicate it for myself. Was there a specific thing you did before the bug happened?

some how I manage to throw hand on my right side outside of screen. Then I couldn't call it back, like some thing was holding it. I have theory that it get stuck on ground corner. If I remember correctly I was pushing mouse button and slide out side of window with mouse.
I have gift for making thing stuck.

Oh there are walls set up on the sides so that the player doesn't fall. You must have shot the trash-grabber above the wall and then tried to call it back while it was past it. Yeah i didn't think about that 😅. Thanks for telling me about the issue!
