But if you feel like it, you can sell it, and gain some cash, at the cost of your robot's time and your trash, trash is money, as well as time. Every ten seconds, a new load will fill your room, will you manage to keep your head cool and your spaceship empty?!

If you check bottom right you can full screen the game and then see the play button appear.
Sorry for that @p3g3r @huskitch !

There is a problem in the embbebed version, 'Start' button doesn't show on tutorial screen. It works ok in the download version.
I couldn't figure out how to find trash but it looks neat.

Great game, but there was a problem with understanding what to drag where. The inscriptions on the floor are difficult to see and the chromatic aberration does not help with this.

@emty The aberration really made us laugh during the development of the game, but it is true that we did not take enough feedback on the readability, for a new player. Hope you find it fun though

This was really cool - the readability is poor but that aside the idea is great! feel like I could play this a good while longer.

Some thoughts:
-WASD camera movement would have been great!
-it was not immediately obvious that the slots had numbers - maybe an indicator on them

Really fun Great job!

@phillip-scott Thank you for your feedback, yes we should have added an option to manage chromatic aberration and let the player decide if he wanted it or not. I hope you still liked it :)

Really cool idea this. It took me a second to realise that the brown boxes, rather than the black bags, were the trash but after that everything made sense.

Nice work!

Game plays fairly well. The actions felt a bit slow and I never ended up buying more carriers because of it. Other people have all had great feedback so far. I do really like the graphics but the music felt a bit aggressive. Overall a pretty solid entry.

@caveman54 Regarding the music, if it's not quite in tune, it's simply because we didn't really know each other, it's our first jam as a group, and I think we lacked communication by moment. But that didn't stop us from having a great time, glad you liked it more overall :)
