Especially the &quot;dumping garbage&quot; one, it sounds so negative, I thought I was playing the game wrong until I realised that you only dump the correct coloured garbage automatically.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The spacing of the garbage is also not that great. It's impossible to get too far without missing tons of garbage because you arn't fast enoughto go and grab it all. Sometimes pieces spawn dirtectly opposite of each other, they are impossible to get then.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>If those things were fixed I think this would be very fun though."},{"author_name":"jangdan","author_uid":"56818","time":"Dec 15, 2015 @ 12:49pm","epoch":1450183440,"text":"i love how you guys used limited colors for the art. makes it so... umm.. classy. this is something to learn.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>nice soundtrack, too!"},{"author_name":"munchor","author_uid":"7348","time":"Dec 15, 2015 @ 12:51pm","epoch":1450183560,"text":"I tested it with OS X, and it works!

And yes, I did got fired. :P I started picking up all kind of trash and I guess it's a reason for that. Graphics looks nice, and the game works. Hence, the mood is definitely there. I would suggest that you change to sound for emptying the garbage bad, as I felt that it was something you shouldn't do. More positive sound maybe? anyway, good job! :)"},{"author_name":"Indie L","author_uid":"63860","time":"Dec 15, 2015 @ 8:55pm","epoch":1450212600,"text":"I liked a lot!Nice work ;D"},{"author_name":"puddelipip","author_uid":"55915","time":"Dec 15, 2015 @ 8:57pm","epoch":1450212720,"text":"I like the basic mechanics and premise of this game and it has some promise.

If you put a bit less time into the graphics and some more to these components it probably still would have looked decent ^^"},{"author_name":"DesignerNap","author_uid":"21374","time":"Dec 15, 2015 @ 9:21pm","epoch":1450214160,"text":"I agree with the comments below.

The controls were smooth.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The garbage seems to be placed randomly so often times is physically impossible to collect all of them which is not very good IMHO. The game was a bit confusing initially, I thought you have to categorised the garbage but turns out I need to collect everything and it would automatically dump the correct ones to the correct bin.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Apart from those I had a good time playing the game. Overall you've done a very good job!"},{"author_name":"Drury","author_uid":"62808","time":"Dec 16, 2015 @ 2:51am","epoch":1450233960,"text":"Kind of a shame it's not possible to collect all garbage and not get fired.

We are really happy for all this nice feedback! Yeah, you are absolutely right about the &quot;dumping&quot; sound, unfortunately we didn't notice it before submitting, we were in such a hurry! Next time we will listen carefully to all sounds *after* the first time while creating them.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>@Ayaya33 @puddelipip @jackyjjc @Drury: Great suggestions, guys. In fact a tweak on the random garbage generator algorithm that avoids vertical aligned trash couldn't be so difficult. We didn't thought about it.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>@munchor: Thanks! We removed the &quot;(untested)&quot; label.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>@WebFreak001: I had graphic libs issues on Ubuntu 64 bit, solved installing a couple of i386 packages. Don't know if it's the same for you. We'll try to export both for 32 and 64 to see if it solve the problem. And, still today we think that we made the right thing focusing a little bit more in graphics, instead of putting more gameplay: we're quite sure we wouldn't had time to add &quot;decent&quot; upgrades\/enemies, probably we would come out with a uglier game with no upgrade nor enemies anyway :) However, we'll sure add that stuff if we'll develop the idea post-jam."},{"author_name":"Krafty","author_uid":"60548","time":"Dec 17, 2015 @ 2:06am","epoch":1450317660,"text":"I really like this game!
