Throwing trash is sooo satisfying, also cool sound effects! Well done! :)
Cool game! Well done!
Very cool take on the theme. I had fun jumping and slam dunking the trash in LOL. It was also fun using the head as a backboard. Nice work on this
A very creative take on the theme! I like the sense of mystery the environment (especially the wretched demonic abyss in the sky, lol) evoked. Wanting to know about that kept me playing until almost the end (when I unlocked shoes), but I have to admit I lost motivation after that (partially because my computer is really laggy and old).
I could never hit the basket from across the room in real life either :) Well done. more fun that it has a right to be :D
lol I loved it
Really cool spin on an "idle" game! I really like how progression is sped up through mechanics rather than just multipliers or additive upgrades. Really fun style too!
yes!!! This is exactly what I had in mind. Thanks for getting it.
The elevating music was fun.
I was kicking things into the center and got worried when i saw a bannana clip through the floor but it was fine. Later tried throwing one out of the map after cleaning everything up. Mistake.
Trans rights
get fenced rofl
also forgot to say i really enjoyed it LOL
Definitely an intresting idea, but I lacked kind of satisfaction in getting the yard clered. Maybe there could be a shop or something with upgrades, like being able to pick up 3 trash pieces at once, or getting more speed and so on, but still good job. :)
yeah absolutely, that would be my pitch for a full version of this game as well…thanks for playing!
The visuals are crisp and the loop logic is clever without being overcomplicated. Great fun!
Thanks for playing, very kind words!
I know not what heinous crime I must have committed in my previous life in order to be subjected to this Sisyphean torture. I trusted you, Brodie.
I love the vibe, the silly a capella sound effects and the layered music!
Game changer when you get the throw command!
Wasn't expecting a game made by you, Xana!
That said... this game isn't for me ^^"
It's genuinely frustrating to put trash in the bin, maybe if you were a little taller it would've been better.
Also by mistake I threw one piece of trash outside of the yard... and I got twice the trash I had! Way too punishing!
Still an interesting game, love the art, but especially the sfxs and music!
would love some more detail on this since I’m considering a full version, were you not dropping the trash by pressing left click again?
no, it's not that, itìs just that everything felt really sluggish. I've only gave it one shot, so maybe take what I'm saying with a grain of salt:
Please don't take this the wrong way, I like the concept, but I felt these gripes while playing it.
Good luck on releasing the game btw!
I did a lot of playtesting but I see what you're saying. Aimed for the game Game to be ~10 minutes long so I paced out the trash to hit that with the walking speed in mind. You also do unlock a sprint upgrade reasonably early. Thanks for playing though, I will keep this in mind going forward.
PS: I do agree on the trash over the fence easter egg being too "punishing" but it was added as an easter egg and not a punishment, you shouldn't be throwing it over the fence accidentally (I thought anyway)
I think it would be funnier if it threw it once the first time, saying something like "don't do that again", and if you do it another time it hits you like a truck xD
Still, good work, dude!
I really like that if I throw back the trash I end up much more. It could be a great multiplayer, ho gets the least trash :)
i love the txt, might have to be a garbage man
You just might...
The text pop ups are very amusing. It made collecting trash fun!
Thanks! I planned to add more but it just kept getting pushed further down the to do list.
I feel like there's some deep meaning behind this, I just don't know what it is yet.
There just might be ;)
I haven't seen that many ankhs since my resurrection run!!! ;)
Nice job xana
Thanks for playing bronx, good to hear from you!
The texts effects and sounds are great and made me laugh. "Blender is hard" indeed.
It is!
Best game about shoving junk into a hole I've played!
The aesthetic of the game is really cool and the story keeps you going.
While fun at first, after the face appears the gameplay of throwing stuff into a hole doesn't really change much. It could be better if there was a bit more to think about, like maybe the face moves up and down so you have to time your throw better to get it in, or you have to only throw in a certain type of trash for a time.
Nonetheless, very funky and fun!
Might think about making a bigger version with more exponential gameplay additions, thanks for the feedback!
