Neat little adventure game with a cool space garbage truck. Not really sure what was happening in the plot at the start, but it was fun to blow up stuff with bombs and collect the remains with a funny 'trash' voice. Contact damage with enemies is a little wonky as it rapidly damages you consecutively. Maybe a little invincibility frame to let the player a chance to run away.

Nice work!

You have a unique art style and a very catchy title -- this one has been on my radar since rating started because of that! All of the NPCs are so courteous and welcoming with their greetings, but unfortunately I'm not quite sure how to progress the game legitimately. I can only find 3 trash on the starting planet and I'm meant to have 4 to progress. 

I CAN progress the game without all 4 pieces of trash, however, but I didn't want to continue, knowing that it wasn't how you intended the game to be. 

Thanks for submitting your game and sharing this with us -- good luck continuing to make games in the future!

I tried this but it was so utterly unhelpful in introducing me to the game I gave up. All my complaints can be summarized as such: the game does an extremely poor job at explaining WHAT THE HELL IT WANTS FROM ME. Please, PLEASE just briefly and concisely explain the very basics.

  • I have no clue of what is happening at the intro once I get fired. I went to another dimension I guess? Please bother to explain and set it up the slightest bit.
  • Aand I died. From a spike one-shotting me? A prompt to save so I don't have to redo the unskippable intro would have been lovely.
  • The fact that the cancel button (X) has been overwritten and only ESC is viable to open up the save menu should really be explained.
  • The functionality of the vacuum is very weird. It pulls some things towards me? Its very odd, and it does not help that I have no earthly clue as to what it expects to be able to move.
  • Why is every object saying "Hi" to me? It's not even a cute thing or anything, it looks like a placeholder leftover or something.
  • I picked up some yellow thing from behind a statue in the first world and...what happened? I have no fucking clue. PLEASE explain, or convey it in some other ways.
  • I found an upgrade for a mystery item...how am I supposed when to come back here if I have no clue what item it belongs to? Even a small hint would have helped, as it is it just looks like sloppy design. I'm a trash man, why the hell would I NOT scrounge all I can?
  • What's the point of having HP curing coffee? Nothing is damaging me here in the first planet besides the spikes, which oneshot me anyway.
  • When I leave the planet it says I Need 4 trash...and yet I can move anyway. Then I leave again and it says 20 trash. AN DI CAN MOVE ANWYAY. 
  • I enter the first planet, and immediately get killed in very quick and hard to react fashion from what I thought was an npc. I've had enough.
  • It almost feels unfair to say because it looks custom, but the presentation of the maps is fairly rough.

I'm sorry but I felt like this was extremely sloppy and unfinished. It might have taken effort, but the game did so little to respect my time and attention it almost felt like it was daring me not to play it. So I stopped. It just annoyed me, I'm sorry :T If the concept is a trash disposal operator doing stuff, that's a good enough concept, but you really have to execute it much

The title amused me so I gave this game a whirl! I liked the character sprites and the main character's killer mustache. Loved the start - riding through space in a futuristic garbage truck. The idea is quite unique! For me, it sadly got caught short after about 10-15 minutes. I got stuck between the cave and my truck, and all I could do was talk to various things nearby which all said: 'Hi'. 

I may try it again to see if I had missed or forgotten to do something :)

The world's first trash-type game.
