This game was so cute and I loved the theme! I especially loved having to empty the trash and getting an upgrade, I thought that was super unique and created more opportunities for interesting gameplay expression. I think it would be great if the game could pause while the player was choosing an upgrade since I usually didn't have time to read them since I was getting attacked. A vacuuming sound FX when vacuuming would also elevate the mechanic, since it was already very satisfying to suck up huge amounts of trash and a sound cue would take it to the next level of satisfaction. great job especially for your first jam!

Thanks for playing and thanks for the feedback! I am not sure if something was wrong or if you've discovered some bugs, because the game does pause on the upgrade screen. And the vacuum does play a sound effect when it sucks - I recorded my actual vacuum cleaner but I had to modify it quite a bit to make a sound effect that wasn't just super annoying haha. If you're not hearing it then maybe there is something wrong. I'm sorry! One thing I know is an issue is when you get to the trash can the level up menu does not pause your invincibility timer, so if you get hit while going into the menu, you'll get hit one more time after you leave. But I am pretty sure you shouldn't get hit while you have it pulled up. If you can reproduce any of these issues I'd like some more information so that I can fix them later!
