Cluster Junk: The Secret of Trash Island by Two Scoop Games

[raw]
made by Two Scoop Games for LD34 (JAM)
Web Version works on desktop or mobile browsers. Use arrow keys for keyboards, or drag your finger on touch enabled devices. (tapping the screen substitutes for the space bar.)

We chose GROWTH as the theme.

There are millions of tons of trash floating in the oceans. So what goes on while no one is looking in these trash piles?

Explore the garbage of humans and try to become the largest trash island in the sea! But hurry, don't let the timer run out!

Interesting little game. Kinda reminds me of katamari damacy in a way.

Wonderful game! My favorite Two Scoop jam game so far. it was super pleasant and made me happy to play. This is one I'm going to go back to. It was super satisfying getting bigger and bigger and reading all the silly things that were getting stuck to me. Thanks so much for the awesome game!

Awesome job! It looks, sounds, and feels really nice. On top of that there is a ton of cool stuff happening underneath for allt he subtle effects. I give it 3 out of 2 scoops.

Awesome Katamari-like! The further the camera zoomed out, the worse the framerate became - and during the 175m level it made it almost impossible to play :< (I'm on Chrome) otherwise, I loved it! Great work!

Super awesome all around. Music is catchy, graphics are great, and it's super polished. Really fun to play and throws me back to Katamari Damacy and Agar.io!

Your artwork is garbage and I lub it!! The vector-style is sharp and polish! The music is splendid, it fills me with glee as I traveled your wavy-@$$ ocean collecting trash. The coding that pushed for a solid, working GUI radar and the eyes movement is so dope! Dope like the Pope dropping rhymes about Hope. Word.

Stars all around! It feels so polished and whole! Good job, team!

This game has inspired me to take out the trash. K, thanks.

I felt like the game was much too zoomed in. It was really difficult to see what was around.

Great Katamari Damacy style idea. Looks great, cute music. Game bogged down on me in my browser after collecting a number of items though.

This is a beautiful, fun, albeit a bit short game.
I found the UI to be a bit too big at first, but I got used to it, although it still would have been nice to have a larger viewport on the world. A great game nonetheless! :)

The game was incredibly laggy for me. I think it is a neat different take on katamari.

Fun but got slow and hard to control fast. Nice sound and graphics design!

Very good entry! Great use of the theme, lovely graphics. I swam around accumulating a bit here and there enjoying myself too much to not think about the timer and game-mechanics. It would have been nice if it was easier to get more varied topologies of the trash-self. But in general very fun game.

Really nice little game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 34 compilation video series, if you’d like to check it out :) https://youtu.be/PXolvG1P7M4
