In what way does your game fit the theme?
it is chaotic - Topdown, Hard, Shooting - what more could you want! :D

Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
I used 1 resource video from brackeys to understand something but i changed the code the rest of the assets are mine - and the main game music is my buddy Largo's

Cool game ! It's kinda hard to understand at first. Also the map is very large so it tooked a while to me to find the door. I like the idea of guessing how many enemies you need to kill in order to open the door but I think it needs some polish. If I understand correctly you could just kill a lot of enemies and then open the door.

Developer

ye you can basically kill them and get in lol - i was thinking of adding a threshold that if they go over its game over but i think that would make the game annoying to play


maybe i could make the portal play a sound depending wethere you're below or above kills

but anyway thankyou for the review ;)

Well done. Cool innovation , game design, and audio. I would again mention good innovation, original idea. Also a good take on the theme.

Developer

thankyou for the review i appreciate it :)

Just like the other comment said it needs a minimap as you can get lost easily, but I enjoy the gameplay.

Developer

thankyou!

Submitted(+1)

I get lost in the map many times. I think you should add a minimap or something that tells what direction the door is. But I enjoyed collecting items and fight with the garbage bags and worms XD  Goodgame!

Developer

Thankyou for the review - and ye defo need to take things like that into consideration next time :)

What a trashy situation...

Very original idea! Fun gameplay and great music.
I reached level 4, but seems to be always the same.
Anyway I had fun playing it and "killing" trash bags and worms.

Great work! Congratulations!

Developer(+1)

thankyou for the review! i was planning on adding different environments but again time constraints - im glad you gave a try tho thanks alot for the review :)

Submitted(+1)

Yes... time is evil on the Jams. Same happened to me. GDD: full of awesome ideas... Build: less than 10% of those ideas :(
So it's great you finished it even without the different environments .

Developer(+1)

ah damn man sorry to hear that - have you tried changelogs + github? - it doesn't work for everyone but i found i was waaay more productive with them combined

Submitted(+1)

Yes, I know them. Thanks to Github I could manage to continue my work the day I had to go to the office. But I tried to bite more than I can chew. Got family with 2 kids and got another videogame paid project with a buddy of mine (Shikon-X on Steam, if interested) all at the same time.

But I really love the idea of making this game when I brainstormed it, so I gave it a shot anyway.
The good part is I'm still engaged working on the update to improve/fix the problems and add some of that stuff I had in mind at first.

Developer(+1)

ahh i see - well good luck on your projects bud i wish you the best of luck!

Submitted(+1)

Thank you very much :)

Submitted(+1)

Interesting concept that I think you were able to execute well.  Nice job getting this done in less than a week!

Developer

Thankyou for the kind words!

Submitted(+2)

Your game takes a whole new meaning to the phrase taking out the trash, lol literally. Fun game, love the trash bag animation and  how you collect trash to fight trash in a sense.  Map is really huge with lots of different terrain and the whole place kind of feels like a garbage dump (I mean this in the best possible way :D).

I tried my best to win but couldn't beat the giant trash bag bosses, even when i shot them with 40 different items. I guess they are immortal or have massive hp. 

Developer(+2)

Ah ye hp is immortal as i was numpty and didn't immplement enemy health - so bullets are literally a destroy condition but i now know to make enemy health base first :) - thanks for the review!

Submitted(+1)

The art in this game gave me a big nostalgia trip. Well done! I think it could help to show a queue of the next few items that will be shot.

Developer

Ooh hey ill check out your game at some point (just busy atm :D) an item queue definetly sounds like a good idea for next time!
Thankyou for complimenting the art i didn't think it was very good

Submitted(+1)

I think this is a pretty fun and innovative game. My suggestions are to put a map at the screen so we know where exactly the center is (I found myself lost a few times in that big map)j and to lower the volume of the door opening sfx, it was much higher than everything else. gg's and good luck!

Developer(+1)

Thankyou for the review - and ye i was thinking a minimap  would be good to have - and i have heard that  the audio is too loud - im thinking my speakers volume are a bit squiffed then - either way options page would sort that :)

Submitted(+1)

Your game has a lot of potential. I really liked the game. But i think graphic style of your game so complicated. I really liked throwing trashes to trash bags. Its kinda ironic. Also i think you can make custom cursor for your game, it will fit to your game better. But that is not a problem. Its really well made game! Good job!

Developer (2 edits) (+1)

Artstyle is  definetly  something i wanted to improve - but i kinda had to rush as coding was more a priorty than art - normally when im in teams ill offload some coding to my team memebers so i can have a good few minutes making proper art -  if i worked out how to make a nuclear throne art style with the low res filter i think that would've worked better.

Also you're bang on the money with the custom cursor annoyingly i forgot cus im clumsy xd

thankyou for the review it really does help me expand on other full games im working on :)

Loved the art and music!

Did not expect such a trashy game to be so fun!

(It was a pun hehe ur game itself was awesome!)

5/5

thankyou :)

"What a trashy game!" - Monea Games 2021. But in all seriousness, it was quite fun, even with a super challenging boss. Good work!

Developer(+1)

Challenging boss? do you mean the big soap bottle by any chance

Submitted(+1)

I think it was a large garbage bag, had heaps of health.

Developer(+1)

uhh i think that was a bug buddy i didn't immplement any large garbage bags or  a health mechanic (mainly cus i coded my game in a silly way so that when i thought of enemy health i couldn't immplement it lol) - but either way thanks for giving it a try :)

Submitted(+1)

Maybe that was the chaos taking over your game ;)

Submitted(+1)

Interesting idea, making a game about literal garbage

Developer

Hay man thanks for leaving a review - i  did manage to watch your stream however i couldn't comment due to no account on my behalf - i do agree there definetly needs to be an arrow towards the door

Submitted(+1)

Good game! never thought a game about trash would be fun, just one small problem it was hard finding the door, the map is kinda too big or there could be an a small arrow that points to the door. Good job!

Developer(+1)

Thankyou for the review i really appreciate it - and ye i was going to add that but time constraints got me :D

Submitted(+1)

Developer(+1)

well sorry but not chaotic at all. You could have done it better.

Developer

this is my first solo game jam i understand if it wasn't very good but i think i did pretty good given that ive only done 1 other game jam with a team - sorry you don't feel the same way

do you mind telling what i could of done better so i can improve for next time?
