I like the use of the theme, especially with the combination of the music.

dennis-magnusson 2021-10-04 20:33

That music is intense, which is appropriate, because recycling is also intense. The core gameplay was nice, however it would have been better if there was some progression, for example if the trash got faster as the game went on. The graphics were nice.

@dennis-magnusson did a last minute upgrade about half an hour ago and added a timer counting down to 0. Now there's actually a victory screen!

Oh no, it's Wii Play Pose Mii all over again (just without twisting my arm to absurd angles). Super neat mechanics, and intense music.

Cool little game! The art has a consistent style and it works well! I agree with the other comment about having some progression; I think that would strengthen the gameplay a good bit.

Good game, I liked the music.

parker-nalch 2021-10-05 04:21

The song kinda rocks! I enjoyed playing the game too. I think there's an odd hitbox on the paper container because most of the times I lost was when I had it equipped. Perhaps it's the same box as the two barrels that are a bit longer? Regardless, well done!

cookie-chr 2021-10-05 08:31

@everyone thanks! The music is Metalmania, from Kevin Macleod

cookie-chr 2021-10-05 08:33

@parker-nalch You are right, the hitbox on the paper container needs to be shorted. I'll do it as soon as the jam ends!

music really stood out above the rest of the game

Interesting take on the theme, nice and simple controls. I got 100% caught in the time limit. One thing you can do with this type of game is not have a time limit and speed up the truck instead as it goes along so there is more replay value as I try to beat my previous score.

Good theme, helping the environment is good, this game is simple but well executed. 45 seconds is a good time for this, no bugs as far as I could find and accompanied by a solid soundtrack.

cookie-chr 2021-10-06 09:42

@n00begon I'll consider removing the time limit (or creating an infinite mode)

cookie-chr 2021-10-06 20:06

@ljol3 I'm still not sure if that's a positive comment, but thanks anyway!

liamcolee 2021-10-06 21:02

fun game. would have liked better controls for switching between containers. maybe scroll wheel or something. but otherwise, fun :)

gmedley 2021-10-06 21:03

Great concept! Would love to see a few more animated elements but overall nice execution of a simple idea

yotamco 2021-10-06 21:14

The graphics are amazing, really cute. I like the music, it gives the game a twist. I would've preferred if I would've had more than one chance before I have to start again. Also a period in the beginning were the game is easier just to get used to the controls. Loved the idea!

cookie-chr 2021-10-06 22:59

@everyone thanks, I'll think about all your suggestions!

frankiewhispers 2021-10-07 23:30

Great idea with awesome music. Digging these graphics that you made in the the time frame. Good job

ache-games 2021-10-08 01:50

Very creative. nice game!!

cookie-chr 2021-10-08 15:31

@ache-games @frankiewhispers Thanks! 😃

robowarrior1982 2021-10-09 08:40

Cool game, idea is fun. Add more feedback and animation and that be an interesting highscoring game ! Good job !

Simple but still funny game. Enjoyed playing it. Somehow didn't scale properly on my screen...

elektroney 2021-10-09 14:08

非常に良いゲームは私の男がミルクを追加する良い仕事を続けます#ミルクバディの

lucas-thomaz 2021-10-09 14:53

the music is kinda loud, but great (what program did you use?) i think the container switch mechanic should be more intuitive, show on screen what key correspond to each container (like i did on my game, putting the controls on the botton of screen during the gameplay, you should also use some lightining system, representing the color of each container is next, its quite hard to someone who never played your game before to notice how and when change containers.

cookie-chr 2021-10-09 17:09

@lucas-thomaz I used Godot. I didn't think about showing the different containers on the screen, good suggestion!

cookie-chr 2021-10-09 17:12

@elektroney Thanks! I couldn't translate your first message tho (tried with google, but the final result didn't make sense), could you formulate it with different words?

piper-thompson 2021-10-10 20:12

Haha, had a good laugh, played a round of this fun thing - super casual - loved the oldschool coice of music,...

chtimy 2021-10-12 10:48

Thank you for your game! It is cool to grab the things, I would suggest to change the speed of the trash to add some difficulty, but maybe no time? Anyway, it was funny to play it :)and the music and graphism is good

cookie-chr 2021-10-12 15:17

@chtimy yeah, I'm thinking about a post-jam update where the speed of the trash increases progressively, but i wasn't sure of how much to increase without making the game too hard.

rubenwardy 2021-10-13 19:44

Nice idea, and fun to play! There wasn't too much to it though, could use some more variety/complexity/difficulty in some way

dzejpi 2021-10-14 12:19

Relaxing and fun to play. I was able to collect everything correctly on the second try! I sure hope the garbage trucks around me are not transporting nuclear waste. I loved the graphics - very nice seeing this artstyle after so many pixel-art and low-poly games. I think that you could make the game more challenging - it felt pretty easy. Nonethless, very nice entry!

cookie-chr 2021-10-14 18:15

@rubenwardy @dzejpi Thanks! I'll think about making the game harder in the future

bramreth 2021-10-17 12:06

love a Godot entry! simple and elegant, the assets are quite sweet and its nice and easy to get into the swing of

benskca 2021-10-21 01:07

The art's really good and the cartoony style fits the atmosphere of the game really well! The game feels very polished overall, and bonus points for including a proper menu screen in a jam game! I think the game would benefit from some variation in the difficulty, maybe an endless mode that gets harder and harder until you drop a piece of trash?
