Lovely Game, by far the best looking game I've seen so far. I think the visual rendering might have glitched for me because my meter had't filled up and my character was not rendering lots of waste on my back when I toppled. Aside from that this was a wonderful sumbission with incredible mood... Good Luck!

The style is pretty nice! The train in the background, the colours and the movement of the persons are very cool.

The gameplay however gets repetitive pretty fast. Some variety would be nice.

Good job at making those graphics!

truedat 2021-10-04 21:19

Thx guys, yeah i may work on it on freetime fom now on...and ModdingMachine it think its not a bug but not very clear...you have to dump the bags as soon as the dumpster gets highlighted, but yeah first time doing ld and i sspent to much time on graphics and music ;D

This was awesome! The city felt so alive. I really really dug the mood :). Idk if it was a bug, but the camera kept zooming in and out randomly. Maybe it was based on how much trash I was carrying/proximity to dumpster? I couldn't always put the trash in the dumpster? Slightly confusing. Either way, it was frigging sick.

truedat 2021-10-05 11:01

@hjalte the camera zooms in when you near the dumpster and when you should go to the dumpster to unload. had no time left to give this info to you players. so on the first iteration you only get one bagpack full and you need tio dump it than the next round starts. something like this :) thx for playing and your feedback

Very nice graphics and atmosphere! Congratulations for that.

Very cool setting and mood. The sounds are particularly nice, makes it feel good just walking around. Even tho the characters are so minimalistic, I like the variety you created with them.

I found it hard to know where or who my character is at first. An outline might have helped.

Congrats on your first submission!

Love the game! original idea!

0x-void-x0 2021-10-05 16:46

I love the mood of this one, the idea is pretty cool too Im like "behave yourselves people" lol

rafael-garcez 2021-10-05 16:51

very cool art style

javier-belmer 2021-10-05 18:40

Really nice ambience!! You could really feel the weight of the character as you collected more items. Some of the bags were red herrings, I'd go over them, but they seemed to be part of the landscape.

I would say I would've liked the music to vary a tad. It was very chill and moody, but will little development and change. Then again, being a short game, I'm not surprised. I'm interested how you did it.

Would you mind as well checking out our game as well?? It's called 'King on the Mountain', for which I did the Music and Sound design, so I'd be very interested in hearing your take on it. ^^

Thank you for making for game!!

I love the music and the art style but had trouble figuring out what gameplay is about.

qookie 2021-10-05 20:32

I really love the art style and sound design. It builds a really cool atmosphere. I wish the game was a bit longer though.

aznz 2021-10-05 21:51

The graphic, the artwork was on point and the music. The game was very very unstable xD I feel like the fps rate could be smoother. Overall you did a great job!

uncle-j0ker 2021-10-05 22:00

sick art style it really feel like the city is coming to life with the people and their surroundings. especially love how you animated the buildings lights whenever the train comes by while the screen is shaking. the gameplay feels too laggy and slow, don't know if it was intentional but overhaul the game look good.

jazzathefoss 2021-10-05 23:29

The visuals and music for this are superb. Adding screen shake when the train passes was a very nice touch. I found it a bit hard to see who I was playing as, and I think there are some framerate issues. Overall, great atmosphere on this game.

fabioecco 2021-10-06 04:36

When you're overwheight it feels like Skyrim. lol The rain got this game +1 star in all categories, good job!

truedat 2021-10-06 05:35

@fabioecco thx man @jazzathefoss @aznz @uncle-j0ker ye it needs some work on the performance side. i am not an expert when it comes to things like that. maybe the fog shader and the cinemachine camerazooms are whats causing this. in future i will definitely try to improve on that. thx for your feedback @qookie i have an idea to expand that little game to a full one. with a trash merchant and even that you can live in one of those houses and with more missions to do. but it will take a lot more time ;) @kgabis thx its a hip hop beat loop. and ye its now just about collecting those boags and throw em into the dumpster. nothing challenging at the moment ;) thx for feedback

zwodahs 2021-10-06 05:37

Congrats on your first submission.

Great art style and concept. I think the explanation for such game needs to be better. For example, I don't understand when the dumpster is available. I think the art is too dark (might be my monitor), which makes it a lot harder to see.

Anyway good job on the submission !

elbowgeese 2021-10-06 06:48

The pixel art is beautiful and I enjoyed playing, I wish there was more!

vsi 2021-10-06 08:22

Liked the graphs,gj!

misfire-dev 2021-10-06 08:56

I liked the graphics a lot, but i think something went wrong because the game kept ending before the meter filled up? maybe i was doing something wrong.

truedat 2021-10-06 09:51

@misfire-dev ye its not clearly said but as soon as the dumpster is highlighted on the right a timer goes off (is not seen on screen). you have to dump the bags as soon as possible as the dumpster has the yellow outline. hope that helps . thx for playing and your feedback

erlioniel 2021-10-06 19:12

I really love the minimalistic approach (would be happy to be able to do smth like that at some point)! Nice stuff, man

quoc 2021-10-09 12:15

Great game. I like the graphics and the music fits well. It was fun to play

sunnyrx 2021-10-09 12:22

That tram, that rain, and that people running on the street, amazing.

zackary-bazzle 2021-10-09 18:02

Great Job! Amazing graphics and attention to detail, I liked how you made the camera shake every time the train went by as well as the variations in light due to the clouds of pollution that were coming in. Also the sound design was epic, very nice submission!

zimny11 2021-10-09 23:37

Congratulation on your first LD game! I hope you will stay with as for long :) Amazing art style and really cool visual effect. Music is pleasant to the ear too. Great job.

truedat 2021-10-11 10:19

@zimny11 @sunnyrx @quoc @zackary-bazzle @erl thx all for your kind words!

spacedinosaur12 2021-10-11 14:51

Good job! The visuals and audio were just great, and the trains in the background made the city feel really alive

tetrapteryx 2021-10-12 19:26

Beautiful atmosphere, and an impressive level of polish! I had a hard time predicting when I would be able to actually use the dumpster, a visible timer would have been helpful.

kurrik 2021-10-18 00:36

Such great atmosphere and music, and I really liked how well the simple art style worked. As I was playing, I felt like I didn't know whether I was doing well or not - trash kept vanishing before I could pick it up and I wasn't sure if that was ok or not. A little more feedback would have been great. But I enjoyed it, congrats on a great submission - pretty impressive given this was your first time!

kristinamay 2021-10-19 15:20

I love love love love the vibe. Such good pixel art.

truedat 2021-10-22 23:01

@kristinamay @kurrik thank you!
