looks great, and has good bones for a game idea with more embellishments. But soooo slow. I know upgrading is the point but it's just too slow. Also, I can't get upgrading to work.

Cute game :) Wall-e vibes. The balance is strange a bit and makes it longer each LVL up.

The artstyle is rather cute, though the game loop can be a bit boring after a bit due to a lack of visual or auditive feedback (i.e. an animation or sound effect to make the player feel rewarded. Still, the concept itself is fun!

pretty nice pixel art which I like! could do maybe with some animation to spice things up a bit. The game loop is understandable, wish it had some kind of background music or even SFX. other than that not much too add super nice stuff and well done guys!

Interesting concept. I like the idea and think you could do more with this for sure!  Loved the art style.  The bugs: When in fullscreen you cannot click on upgrades and when you upgrade your body it resets your trash count to 10, so you cannot continue playing.

Bit bugged upon buying a new body upgrade, but otherwise a nice effort - reminded me of a lot of the upgrade-style flash games I'd play back in the day, good job :)

I ended up finding another bug: after buying the new body upgrade for 50, my trash collecting maximum went back down to 10 - now I can't buy anything else because all the upgrades cost above 10.

this looks pretty cute, but I couldn't figure out how to buy the upgrades :(

First, you need to collect garbage. Then, go to the machine with the arrow in the green circle. Once you do that, three upgrades should appear on the shipping container. You can click on them to select which one you want. It should look something like this:

I did all that but couldn't click!

Did you play the game in full screen?  There seems to be a bug where you can't click on them in full screen.
