Hoarder by Dr_Monkfish
A janky little physics Tetris like game about a hoarder.
The audio in the web build is a bit weird, and also the triggers on the controller wouldn't work on the web build, so the pick up button is left bumber

but let leave the deep question aside, i like the game, wacky take on tetris, absolutely love the pixelated graphics, the music also play quite well together, the physics a bit broken tho, especially when pushing the item around, but it to be expected to physics heavy game like this, overall well done !
But! I liked how you throw furniture into the grid to get rid of them. It's a unique take on Tetris. Good job!
9200 pts! Try and beat me!

Moving through the garbage is tedious because your feeling to weak (you dont knock them away easily). This could go either way. Making it easier will make you feel stronger, making it harder could make this another way to loose (burried under the garbage).
I didnt really feel a need to turn around blocks. I felt that it wasnt really important to turn them, since they were pretty blocky anyways.
What I wanted to be able to do:
Take the garbageand throw it in the pool, then jump on the garbage and stomp on it, until it fits. Jump over to the other side with a dash as well and throw, stomp, jump, dash. I felt the movement could be more the focus, instead of the tetris part.
Also, your Itch.io side, doesnt link back to the LD side (if you wouldnt have posted the link of this in the wgj I wouldnt have found it :P )
All this sounds like I didnt enjoy my time, which couldnt be further from the truth ^^ I mean, all these things would be really hard to get into the game in 48h
Well done, cheers :)
The only thing I would think about is how to make gameplay more different and not just "move all the items to the pit and hope for the best" :)
