Really charming game. Love the art and music. Fits the theme so well. Lots of humorous things to see on the roads while collecting the trash lol. Great job!

love style and the voices. But gameplay was underwhelming
Cool game! Great job :) But it was a little hard to understand the controls)
Some places are inconvenient to drive, and the streets are narrow. But it's okay.
Very funny! Very on theme! Love the dialogue, though there could probably be a little more time between calls. Great work, though!
amazing idea like this one a lot!
A bit hard to turn but fun game.
I had to laugh out loud. Challenging controls, but I had a lot of fun and I love being called and insulted! Great idea and good humour.
Why it is not a web :(
@ira-baciu you can play it on the page, its at the top
@kenevil1 ohhh I thought it was a video
LOOL i love it
This is an amazingly unhinged unholy fusion of Crazy Taxi and a roguelike trash collector?
Absolutely love the dialog and voice acting + character art. this game's energy and vibe are really memorable!
Ended with 485 as my best run
Nice
My current best is 3496, gets really tough when you get towards the end of the story
Good job. I like the art style
It's a very funny game, it looks funny and crazy, but for some reason for me web build slows down a lot, which makes it difficult to evaluate the sound and dynamics.
I love the vibe and the art! I could not control that dang garbage truck to save my life, and I wasted a lot of time trying to gather up the piles of garbage that I realized later were meant to be road blocks. But! Impeccable vibe.
The interactive objects in the menu are a hit! The character art is strong, reminiscent of Beavis and Butt-Head or Adult Swim. I love that.
让我想起了以前爱玩的游戏 如此真实又如此艺术 赞！
The start menu alone deserves 5/5
Omg, the game is so good and funny! Audio with mechanic of calls where you need to push random buttons, loved your game! Also movement is something, love drifting
I like the trash collecting hose animation and the art style is wonderfully characteristic. I had trouble getting around the streets at times but overall this is a really good collector!
haha, really nice take. first also thought about garbage collector as theme but then decided for some slightly different theme. But thats a fun implementation!
Funny game, funny dialogs. But hard :)
Great audio and overall direction with the very dirty city. Nice Work
I liked it very much! The controls killed me though xD But I liked the music, audio (it's voiced like wtf? Am I allowed to have this Gucci luxurious fancy experience?!) and you nailed the theme! Good job!
Good art and visuals, adult swim style looks consistent with the theme and its implementation. The vehicle feels a bit clunky.
wow the voice acting hahah!
Infuriating game but that's a skill issue on my part. Fun dialogue and silly premise - Highly recommend.
I really liked the dialog and having to press random keys to pick the phone up. The max trash was a bit confusing at first and I think you have a healthbar but was unable to really tell. The upgrades are a cool idea but I wish they were a little more wild. Love it, good job!
Great frantic driving. It left me really wanting a autodialer upgrade, or at least with a progress bar to say how close the phone is to failing.
Cool gameplay and funny!
I LOVE THIS AUDIO
Hilarious voice acting and awesome sound design. Really enjoyed it!
I recorded myself playing your game and gave my feedback. Timestamps are in the description. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6JL6b3sPi2c
It turned out to be a very interesting mechanic that this hose follows the mouse, but the only thing is that I don't quite understand what to do.
@googlefrog That is indeed something we were working on! It was a bit challenging to integrate it with the rest of the upgrades (which were permanent), so it ended up being put on hold. Definitely on the list of improvements
this really brings me back to the flash games :3 Immaculate vibes, nice trashes, and the voice acting is supurb
@zungryware Thanks so much for your review! You're right, the phone call mechanics definitely need work and we definitely overlooked having the game pause while there's important dialogue on the screen. Our devs are working on fixing those things (assuming they have enough Monster to get them through the process). We're glad you had fun and you did really well considering I can't get to the first upgrade screen myself. Joel's voice is actually from the NYC area! We just thought it would be funnier to have them ham it up to the point where the accent was barely recognisable :P
@maxwell3000 Good catch! We'll add that to our to do list
This was really good. The art really suited the gameplay nicely. Really nice take on the theme. Great job!
Great game! It's more annoying than fun but I guess that was the goal. 😅 My high score is 286.
Sometimes it was unclear if I could drive on this tile or not, I seemed to drive on top of building walls sometimes. Also, some I couldn't pick up big pile of garbage blocking entire streets. I guess it's by design, it just feels weird not being able to collect garbage as a garbage collector.
Still, I loved the vibe and interactive menu was a nice touch!
pretty nice game, the voice acting was fun lol, idk if it's a bug but i couldn't reach trash spawned on the buildings, but still good work!
You had me at the trash hose menu selection xD It's got that classic arcade toughness that just wants to take my money. Your gross character design and voice acting is banging too.
That was really fun! I sometimes had issues though recognizing the trash collectibles, especially if they spawned on buildings. Maybe they could have some outline or wobble around or some other visual indicator? Maybe there was an upgrade that made them easier to see, but I have to admit, I did not have much time reading the upgrade choices, since the timer continued ticking while choosing and I just picked on feeling. :sweat_smile: Also, props for doing voice acting on a jam game. It's extremely hilarious. Loved it.
Getting fired from my job gave me a multiple life crisis thank you
A very fun game even if some place are hard to drive into (and some letter dosen't work with my azerty keyboard like M) but it's very cool regrdless. Good job !
Hahaha, this game is so interesting!
funny game!
@Pancu There's an upgrade that increases your reach distance! But as other people have mentioned, that implementation still needs refinement :) @andreas-roschal Thanks for the ideas! Much appreciated
Love the audio and vo you guys did. I think a little bit tighter turn radius on the car would have made getting around a little bit smoother. I managed to get up to 214 and had a good time.
Nice throwback game to the flash era. The turning felt like an actual garbage truck, don't know if that is a positive or a negative. Dead-end streets felt like an actual trap with the turning radius, but can't expect everything to be perfect. I couldn't really figure out when the "quota" was filled for an upgrade as I only managed to get one before the dead-end road got me. Overall a good jam game, well done.
The visual is a bomb, the sound is good, the voice acting and dialogues are super mega top. Everything spoils the control of the car)
Hahaha. This made me laugh. The voices, the character designs, the absurdity of it all. It brings me back to my childhood with flash games. The controls felt good and it was fun to play. Great job guys
Sorry I'm late to playing your project, today was the first day I could get back on the computer, but I'm here now so let's go!
This is the type of project that begs for more attempts. I loved the atmosphere, and the vo was priceless (though I wish it was skippable after the first time, only because my page refreshed an I had to start over.) Only real complain was that the turning radius and the street width (as others have mentioned) seemed to not be conducive to solid movement, and took away from my desire to use the boost. Generally though, this is an awesome project, great work!
The vibe is there and totally matches the theme. Appreciate the voice lines. The music is also a banger. Gameplay wise it was mildly frustrating to lose when you're middle of reading the guides. I feel you could have started the timer after a button was pressed and you knew player was ready to play. There also seemed to be some random time losses. For example, I dumped some trash and got more time (according to the UI) but shortly after boom - it was game over. Odd.
The streets felt small for the car.
Good work regardless!
Love the trashy vibe. I did struggle with getting trash delivered fast enough, I think because I had so much trouble distinguishing pickups from the background. Perhaps a small glow, shimmer, or vibration when driving close to them?
The dialogue was hilarious. The shouting-from-the-back-room lines were my favorite. Great work!
Loved the voice acting, which really isn't common in game jams - funny and entertaining. The graphics style was also pretty consistent and interesting, same for audio in general.
But I did have problems with the controls, which felt unresponsive and slippery. It was really hard to navigate, but also a lot of times I've had just bad luck trying to find and deliver garbage. It's a shame because the dialogues were really funny.
Congrats on finishing the game!
@6knowledge @sceef @sirred @marudziik Thanks for the feedback! We'll take a look at tightening the controls if we have the time. We've had a lot of constructive feedback about the steering so we'll try and make that a priority.
@threeli Glad you enjoyed the vibe! We tried to make the opening dialogue automatically skip on multiple attempts but I guess we overlooked returning players. Good point on the boost btw, I'll let the team know.
@coderaurus You're right, and I also ran into the dialogues issue a few times playing the game. It really just comes down to running out of time at the end of the jam. But the random loss is odd; we've heard a few similar comments so we'll make sure to look into it further.
The music slaps! I like this game, but I also was terrible at it haha. Somehow the controls for the garbage truck felt off. I could not get the hang of it unfortunately. I played a few rounds, got the vacuum upgraded, got a city block unlocked an laughed throughout the process. I had fun The voice acting was very funny. "I didn't hire you to read, just step on the gaaaas" haha :laughing:
I like how the car controls! It gets quite frantic pretty quick, after a couple minutes it doesn't feel like there's anything you can do to not time out. But still a nice experience
