'Utter Rubbish' is an adorable meet-cute type story between a scrapy deer guy and a robot that he repairs. A lot of things really stand out in this one. The most obvious is the generous use of animations in the art. From simple stuff like the character walking and moving about, to the abstract flow of colors to represent the sensations that the robot is feeling, this presentation is top notch and truly immerses you in this unlikely romance between a robot and a deer. Did I mention that this takes place from the POV of the robot? It's kind of a novel concept, especially since the story does a good job of trying to put the reader in the mind-set of the robot. Through short scenes, Cal free spirited personality comes through, contrasting against Buddy's more rigorously practical thought process. There were at times I felt like Buddy was a little bit too human, which cut into what was I think was the appeal, which is the contrast of the two different characters viewpoints. The world building is light on purpose, though I think more of Cal's backstory could've been given out that wasn't just as a text dump near the end. There's a little bit of accessibility warnings, like tough text color contrast on the title screen, or the spinning room effect causing dizziness, but they're minor in the greater scheme. At this point I'm just nitpicking, cause I really have very few notes for this short, but enjoyable cute-rom experience.
