This is very impressive, great across the board and super polished for only 4 days.
My favorite game so far. I collected all the trash and it took me 1h 1m 24s.
It was super satisfying to get a huge pile of trash and then just push it all away with the broom. I enjoyed all the different tools and gadgets and the music was awesome, Garbage paradise was my favorite. The music being unlocked trough collectables was also something that I really enjoyed.
The only complaints that I have is that the trash should be a bit easier to dispose of. Sometimes it gets stuck, or flies past the garbage crusher so I had to touch the same trash multiple times. I also think that maybe the tools could have had a bit more durability and the scanned trash was hard to see at the end.
Also the geysers could have been a bit faster.
But those are all nitpicks aside of the trash dispensers. The acid lakes didn't have that issue so that was great.
But yeah, really great work!
I would love to play a more fleshed out steam release of this.

Appreciate the feedback! Yeah the garbage can be a bit finicky at times, though all of the rubbish getting stuck at the back of a grinder was my mean spirited idea to get you to walk along the danger zone. Some of the garbage is very light though, and I too am frustrated when it sneaks itself into a corner or over the area you're aiming for. (it used to fall through the floor and stop you winning but we *fixed that)
Really happy to hear you enjoyed it! We're surprised how many people are playing to completion. The understanding it takes a long time to complete mad us worried people would be put off, we even added a secondary secret objective (if you find all the cassettes) that lets you leave early. So we're super happy to know you got to the end of it all and liked the music!
Thanks for playing!
