Level design is very interesting although I think its a bit difficult. Playing as a dustman is very uncommon, I liked the idea. The art is fine and I think the loss of speed due to the weight carried is very interesting. Good job!

Wildcards Used
White-Out/Freezing Out: The game's environment features cold, winter-like conditions. Dusty's health decreases in colder areas, integrating the theme of a freezing atmosphere both graphically and mechanically. Blood is Fuel: Health restoration in the game is uniquely tied to warmth. Dusty must return to a heat source near the collection point to regain health, emphasizing the 'blood is fuel' concept through a warmth-based healing mechanic. Trash Everywhere: As Dusty collects trash, he becomes increasingly burdened, visually represented by being covered in junk. This mechanic not only aligns with the 'trash everywhere' wildcard but also adds a strategic layer to the gameplay, as carrying too much trash slows Dusty down.
Game Description
Dive into 'Spot the Junk', a 2D adventure where light battles darkness in an environmental quest. Guide Dusty, a flashlight-equipped dustman, through a shadowy basement to uncover and collect hidden trash. Face the chilling challenge of a freezing environment, balancing health and heavy loads.
How does your game tie into the theme?
"Spot the Junk" ties into the theme of 'illumination' by having the player navigate a dark basement with only a flashlight, where light is essential to discover and collect hidden trash. This mechanic not only emphasizes the importance of light in gameplay but also symbolically highlights the need to illuminate and address environmental issues.
