Really interesting!!!

Loved the game and the theme take :) The bin perspective was a little bit off so I didn't manage to hit them initially, but then I get used to it.

Thanks for your work!

It's a lot of fun to play, and the music fits perfectly. Unfortunately, the first few times I tried, I couldn't throw trash cans at all—either a bug or something else—restarts were necessary, but once the colliders finally started working, it was quite fun catching them. It's a great combination of mechanics, and the online scoreboard is also awesome. Great job!

Fun game! At first, I didn’t really know how to control the strength, but once I figured out the trick, I could collect the entire trash bin every time. I’m definitely going to share this game with my friends and compete with them!

Great game with a unique concept. It took me a bit to get the hang of it but I eventually got it!

Fun little game, love the idea. I agree with Memel06 that it was a bit hard to know when you could or couldn't hit a bin but you eventually get used to it. I couldn't tell, are the different colored bins different in any way? It felt like maybe the red ones were heavier or something?

Nice entry!

Haha, this is awesome! So much fun to play, excellent work! Took me a few tries to figure out how to toss the dumpsters, but I got the hang of it! The visuals and soundtrack are also nice

I think I found a bug... I was trying to retake my second place on the leaderboard, but whenever I succeeded, the score that got posted was always a bit lower than the one I had in-game... So I gave up, lol. Anyway, very addictive game! Garbage men should take some lessons from this game on how to collect trash! It took me a second to figure out the right angle to launch the garbage can into the air, but once I got it, it was smooth sailing. A small critique I have is that I’d love for the garbage cans to be a different color from the background, so the player can focus on alignment and catching the falling trash rather than searching for the cans — I think that would make it more fun.

It took me a bit to figure out the mechanic, but once I got it, I really enjoyed playing—it's a cool idea! Great use of the theme too. I really liked the art style and the color choices; they worked really well together. Music, also great!

WHO are those people at the top of the leaderboard and WHY am I so bad at it :"D Took me a while to figure out how to collect bins, the colliders are really hard to hit! But overall, really fun and well-made game, and enjoing the mechanic of catching faling items!

nice visual.

really cool game with nice visuals, sad I suck at it xD

Great game ! I had better luck spamming space bar than charging it but this might be a me problem. Enjoyed it

spacecadet 2025-10-10 17:12

Nice different take on the theme. Your game feels polished and has consistent visuals and style. I found it pretty hard to hit the bins and was most of the time probably a bit late but overall really enjoyable entry. Good job!

A fun and interesting game. At first it was difficult to collect garbage, but then I figured it out. Beautiful pixel art. I really liked your game, great job!

Really cool and simple game! It has a good loop and fun mechanic with scoring points. Only difficulty was knowing the correct timing for when to flip the garbage bins. Felt like a very narrow window. Really enjoyed it though!
