I found this very interesting. As the levels increased I definitely started getting stressed out!

Actually hilarious ending there, did a good job of keeping me engaged with a very simple mechanic.

Great Game!! Really love the graphics and the humorous robot that you interact with.

If the fate of the future world rested on my recycling ability in this game then we are in trouble. I was able to unlock all upgrades, except the Guitar, but was so close.

Played a second time to get the Guitar. Hoping it might save the world through some crazy coincidence like something related to Bill and Ted. (It did not seem to save the world) :neutral_face:

Oh well, fit the Inevitable theme :grinning:

@cary-stanley Thanks for playing! Unfortunately an electric guitar cannot save the world, unless you recycle it.

@karbirus Yes it can be hard to recycle. But some, working class, citizens have to do it! Otherwise no-one will!

Thanks for playing :)

Super intresting game, nice mechanics and intresting shop upgrades. Would have enjoyed to see the shop get more upgrades. but all in all super fun game with a lot of potential.

Quite a hectic and frantic game. The graphics are very clear and the player feedback is good. At higher speed the objects are more spread out, which shows you put thought in balancing. There's enough variation to keep it interesting for just a bit longer, and some of the references are great. Good sound design as well. Good job!

I really liked this. I haven't played a conveyor belt game like this before, and it fit the theme nicely. I'm not sure if the mechanic had enough meat to carry it for that many levels, but it was still enjoyable. However, I couldn't use stopping power, since space just scrolled down.

Great game! I enjoyed the drag mechanic, can get very tense. Also liked the upgrade system and great tutorial. Love the thick pixel art style and sounfx super satisfying. Good use of the theme as well. Great job!

@bauke-regnerus Thanks for playing! I'm glad the balancing worked out well.

@lohii Thanks for playing, sorry you had that issue, did it still happen in fullscreen mode?

@mcmuniz Thanks for playing! I'm really happy how the game turned out.

@lvl99chicken Thanks for playing, I made most of the sound effects myself and I think they turned out pretty good!

That was fun and tough. I liked the art and writing a lot. I think the upgrades could have been a little more interesting -- once you had all four it didn't feel like there was much changing. I'd like to play more. Good job!

@raphiell Tested it, and none of the buttons worked for me on Firefox. Switched to chrome and there wasn't an issue.

I played on EXTREME MODE and now my finger hurts, but I recycled about 350 items properly! Does that make me a pro? Did I save the world?

No idea, but I had fun!

A hard game but worth it for those extra hours I saved. Now we just need a sequel where we go back in time to destroy all humans to save the world. Also the cat was very nice I liked the cat. And the coughing. Cough Cough.

Is the ending based on how well you did? I only missed 11 items overall and got 12 extra hours.

Fun game, the graphics work well and the music is nice throughout. I like the addition of the guitar track over the top.

07. Apr 2022 · 14:25 UTC
@02rppl Thanks for playing! *Cough*

@xeke-death Thanks for playing! There are different endings depending on how well you do, yes. It requires getting a perfect (give or take 1) score for the 'best' ending.

Good frenetic fun. A little rough on my RSI but so it goes. The guitar was absolutely worth the cost.

I appreciate your great tutorial! I really enjoyed your humor in this game. :) I would never think sorting trash would actually be fun lol, but you did a good job of getting right into it and providing a challenge right away. Great job!

The clean, crisp, and well-executed audio/graphic presentation provided a direct route to the straightforward yet engaging gameplay. Before trying your game I fancied myself pretty agile with my trackball mouse...now I'm second-guessing. Good Job!? Fun Game tho.

This game is extremely well polished and the dialogue is great. Can't believe you made this all is such a short amount of time. I have to say that this is one of the best games I've played this jam. Great job!

I liked this! It's nice to play something that requires some twitch reflexes. High-speed sorting makes for some therapeutic gameplay... I imagine it could be made more engaging with additional upgrades or mechanics that allow you (or force you) to change up your approach to the core gameplay of identifying objects, clicking, and dragging. The magnet is a bit too unreliable in my experience to have much of an impact, but I think it's the most creative of the three in that it allows you to potentially filter out an entire classification of items at opportune moments if you're paying enough attention. The combined glass bin and the brake lever are a bit more straightforward, though that isn't necessarily a bad thing.

@pixelydian Thanks for playing! I'm glad you liked the tutorial!

@matso Thanks for playing! It sounds like you're a writer for a gaming magazine haha, thanks for the review!

@moooks Thanks for playing! I tried to keep the scope of the actual game smaller than last year so I could polish it more.

@redoplus Thanks for playing, and thanks for the analysis! I agree that the magnet is a bit weak!

@dkmk100 Thanks for playing! 417 is pretty good!

Really solid game! The idea is simple and the games straight to the point. The tutorial was also spot on, quick yet made sure you understood. The art looks awesome! And the music is groovy as all can be. SFX for the item pickups is also realll satisfying. Was able to get a score 433, fun game!

I had a blast playing your game, I didn't realize it would be addicted to this, but congrats!
Btw did you do everything by yourself? Because it looks soooooo goood!

I love the characters, the art, everything is on point, for my it's basically a 10/10 game too!

Congratulations for real!

@gabriel-dias-oliveira-de-almeida Thank you so much for playing and your kind words! Yes all the art is my own. The only things I didn't create in this project were a few of the sounds. Most of those I made too, in my own closet crinkling cans and clinking bottles haha.

One of the best entires I've seen if not the best.
Honestly, had me hooked all the way till the end, not sure why. I did 407, I guess that's not too bad.
Dialog was funny, loved the papers please reference, and it ended just in time. I wasn't sure along the way if I can lose, or just achieve a lower score? I guess that's the only thing I have to say that isn't a compliment. loved it!

@guy-girmonsky Thanks for playing! There is no 'lose' condition that makes you restart a level, only different endings depending on performance. I'm glad you really liked it!
