Trash Mountain by teamross

[raw]
made by teamross for LD34 (JAM)
Escape to safety from this rubbish rain, grab and drop trash to make your mountain grow and reach the top of a building !!!

A game for Ludum Dare 34 "Growing".

Fix:
People struggle to complete even the easiest of the levels, so we decided to upload a little fix.

- Only trash that falls from the sky can kill you (no more wild pizza box deaths!).

Have fun and look up the sky!


Controls:
A-D to move.
W to jump.
Left Mouse Click to grab/drop things in the direction you are facing.

Fun and clever! I wasn't ever able to reach the top of the building, though. Definitely an interesting idea! You should consider working on it post-jam and releasing!

cool concept, it's very easy to be killed at random, sometimes it gets frustrating. Nevertheless it's a nice game

Thanks!I will speak of it with my two friends to continue on the game.

I agree with you, a bit difficult sometimes, we should work in that difficulty line.

Pretty difficult game, seeing as it's hard to dodge items falling on your head. Otherwise, kinda fun.

Ended up killing myself most of the time I picked up trash. Fun concept, needs some more tweaking.

Yep, need a lot of more work, is annoying to die by itself when drop a trash. Thanks all for the feedback!

Cool idea! I am absolutely rubbish (sorry) at this. Get my little pile going and then I'm taken out by a stray pizza box.

Really nice - i love the physics interactions - really tightly made - didn't see any bugs. Does the rain actually do anything? I like the particles when the trash hits the ground. My suggestion is getting rid of mouse click - i think it'd be more fun if you just picked up the closest thing you are next to that you are facing rather than having to click on the object to pick it up.

We didn't want to abuse the physics engine giving the small trash colliders too, so they ended up being just props.

Yeah, no mouse was an option too. Keyboard only may be a little too clunky when there are lots of objects in a single mountain. But thanks for the suggestion :)

Nice concept with great game mecanics. But there are some bugs. Many frustrations, but it's part of your game!

Similar to The Incident. Nice implementation, physics based stuff is always hard to pull off. Nice.

We didn't knew The Incident, thanks for the tip!

Look up to the sky! Since the fix, the game is much easier now :)

The concept is awesome, but maybe a little hard (you updated it I see,now the gameplay is better). I love the music and the idea, nice job :-)

Cool mechanics, you've got flow) .
I wasn't able to reach the top of the building at the childish - but i liked it a lot.

Easy mode just seems slower but concept is cool.

Fun, Well done. Found myself killing myself accidentally when trying to move items into the pile.
