would love some more detail on this since I’m considering a full version, were you not dropping the trash by pressing left click again?

no, it's not that, itìs just that everything felt really sluggish. I've only gave it one shot, so maybe take what I'm saying with a grain of salt:
- you walk way to slow for a yard that big
- there's too much trash to pick up at the very beginning (mainly referencing 2nd round/level)
- you need to get too close to each piece of trash to grab them
- you're too short for placing the trash in the bin, and a lot of the times it either fell to the ground or stayed on the bin's corner
- throwing feels too floaty and it's very hard to aim inside the bin
- the punishment of throwing trash out of the yard it's way too punishing since nobody really tells you not to do it (a punishment is fine, but at least don't do it when you did it for the first time)
Please don't take this the wrong way, I like the concept, but I felt these gripes while playing it.
Good luck on releasing the game btw!
I did a lot of playtesting but I see what you're saying. Aimed for the game Game to be ~10 minutes long so I paced out the trash to hit that with the walking speed in mind. You also do unlock a sprint upgrade reasonably early. Thanks for playing though, I will keep this in mind going forward.
PS: I do agree on the trash over the fence easter egg being too "punishing" but it was added as an easter egg and not a punishment, you shouldn't be throwing it over the fence accidentally (I thought anyway)
