Really cute little game, and while simple it's straightforward enough to understand the goals. And that art, especially the intro image, just lovely!

Developer

Thanks!

Good idea, and very well done, it runs great on my Game Boy DMG, bravo, I liked it :)

Developer(+1)

Nice! And nice DMG

Your intro art is fantastic! I love the simplicity of the mechanics and how you kept the scope small to fit in the jam!

I fed all the pizza to the turtle shell and it appeared happy XD Not sure if there was more to that or not, but nice work all around!

Thanks. Glad you liked it. Unfortunately time got the better of me. I plan to keep tinkering with it and will add some new features and stages.

what a cute little game!!! it took me a sec to realize i was still holding an item: would have liked to see an indicator on when you hold an item. otherwise, this was an awesome game and the graphics were so cute!!!! would love to play again if you update in the future!!!

thank you for sharing and wonderful job!!!!

Thanks. I’m redoing the code. The sprite limit is an issue. I did have a help/inventory screen you could toggle between but it had a few bugs so I removed it from the jam submission.

This was such a simple but FUN game. What a great idea with a clear focus! It really satisfied the "sort-er" in me haha. I also love the art, your drawing is great! I love the stylized cartoony look of the houses and trash. Nice work, make more games!

Developer

Thanks. I might expand on game when I get a little more time. I’m currently helping out doing sprites for a gb game which will be released soon.

Nailed the theme, and although the gameplay is pretty simple, its very clear how to beat and what your objective is. Thanks for sharing!

Developer

Thanks

cute brief game. great message. id love to see some more puzzle elements if the game had more time. the steep angle of the bg was very cool

Thanks. The idea was to make a relaxed game with satisfaction coming from tidying up rather than solving puzzles. I wanted the game to be friendly in nature rather than challenging.

This was a really fun game! I couldn't figure out the turtle though (found 2 pizza slices). Is there a secret?

Developer

The turtle likes pizza… nothing more unfortunately. If I’d had more time I would’ve put in some kind of reward

Cool idea, it's a shame the game is too short. It could be interesting to keep playing and increase the challenge maybe having more bins that recieve just some kind of recyclables, like glass, plastic, paper... Also there could be a reward for doing this. I though the turtle will move when it have enough pizza.
Anyhow it's a clever and enjoyable idea.

Time got the better of me but I’m happy enough with what I managed to do in a short time (a couple of evenings during the week). I might look at some additional features after the jam is over.

I love the idea of taking care of the environment!

Developer

Thanks. I enjoy tidying up almost as much as I enjoy retro gaming quizzes. Loved your submission

The graphic is simple but joyful to look at. I like the non grid-style building. the music is also enjoyable. The game is simple enough that i skipped the text and still be able to pick it up. It's a small fun game. Sadly, it's quite short

Developer

unfortunately I ran out of time so decided to keep it short. Glad you liked it.
