Nice game! Your arm mechanics are cool liked the responsiveness. The art is cool good parallax. Wind blowing it feels deserted I like this vibe a lot. Like that your arm is in the start menu l( would be cool if you have the 2 buttons lying there then had to pick them up to play or quit ) just an idea 💡:)

Great job on the sound effects. Enemies in the beginning were easy enough to just drive past, but other than that, a fun game!

Very cool! Love this take on the theme, and the arm mechanic is really neat

As others have said, the arm is great. I do feel like it would have been nice to be able to repair yourself using some of the scrap you're accumulated, in addition to getting shields
The controls feel great, and the atmosphere is spot-on. Keep it up!
Cool SFX! The idea’s original and I enjoyed it, though the game felt a bit hardcore. But then again, maybe I’m just a goofball and didn’t grasp the right way to play. Thanks for the gaming experience!

The arm is a neat mechanic. Would be cool to see more interesting systems or progression to have meaningful ways of using it.

It's an amazing game, although I've already seen similar concepts on this jam, your implementation is still the best of them! Convenient and fun, it's a pity that it's short.

Nicely done! Felt quite pleasant to play. I definitely would've wanted a way to repair yourself with scrap. It also felt a little frustrating to pick up an enemy and then damage yourself because you tried to put them in with your scrap. I guess it makes sense you need to get rid of them differently but visually they look like scrap. Maybe if they looked explosive or spiky it'd be more clear.
Simple and fun, great implementation, nice job I agree with Schu, I've damage myself trying to load enemies on the rover thinking it would count as scrap. A visual look in this sense would help

Cool idea with the claw button selection in the menu!
Good gameplay idea on the topic! The only downside is the robot blurring when moving very quickly, which is unpleasant for the eyes.
You guys are awesome! Thanks for the gaming experience!

i loved it cool idea!
I enjoyed this world. Good atmosphere. I think it would have been fun to have some different bad guys and power-ups.

Cool idea! a little truck picking up trash in the cold wind. Really like the atmosphere. The controls are simple and the instructions are clear. User friendly XD. There seems to be a small bug though, the screen occasionally shakes when placing items onto the truck.
Nice game, and you have a really cool idea! Graphics are awesome, and the audio part fills the vibe needed for this game. Game mechanics are simple, as well as the controls. Great job!
love the grab mechanic, also very cool artstyle, but there is no fullscreen which is sad but overall very cool game
Great idea, crane movement needs a little bit of training, but after that it's smooth sailing. Also like the dusty sandstorm vibe.
Actually there's a lot of strategy in the game and I really like it, something to spend your money on like upgrades would be great. Still the game is lots of fun!

Cool idea. I assume it's your first project on Ludum Dare and it look great.

I liked it, it's a shame I realized too late that you can throw objects at enemies :) game7.jpg
The robot arm was really interactive and cool, but I kept damaged myself every time I tried to click on the bag on top of the rover, which kind of defeated the purpose of grabbing things in the first place. Maybe disable damage once you grab an object? The art is clean and well done. Love the colors, particles and especially the parallax scrolling. If the main mechanic wasn't frustrating, this game would be pretty dang fun. Overall nice entry, especially if it's someone's first LD game jam!
The arm mechanic was really interesting! The loop of grabbing scrap and placing it into the body was very fun!
