The sfx cracked me up, as did the fact that you leave trash behind on lawns — great flavor to this one, nice work!

A playable game, turned out quite well. Overall, it is a good concept.

The only thing is that in the browser version, the WASD controls seem not to work. (or maybe it's just me)

Another cute trash game. A good casual game with nice graphics, but the sound...

Hey! Nice little entry, I like the pixel art, especially the dogs. For some reason it reminds me of PaperBoy on Gameboy. Thanks for bringing back some fond memories!

This a tasty little arcade snack, and I'm glad to have played another raccoon game! Fun, great visuals, the best kind of absurd sound effects, and a challenging gameplay loop. Great work.

Wow, those dogs are ruthless! Very cute game, great take on the theme. (This is already the second raccoon game I encountered so far, but I expect a few more heh.)

Overall a short little retro throwback. The trash felt a bit weird as you basically have to be always ahead of the truck to be able to pick up the item due to the level moving, and the audio for the trashcans felt delayed. Probably could've used more "enemies" and maybe the truck could swerve onto oncoming side for some extra challenge. The dogs were really the only trouble as you could hang around only on the right side just fine.

Also audio was quite loud.

I loved the graphics and sfx, really chill atmosphere! I just felt like there was no reason for me to go to the other side of the road, maybe the trash there could give you more points or something like that. But I still had fun regardless, thank you for making this game!

Nice little game, cute graphics and sounds, especially the little "heheee" xP

The controlls do feel a bit weird and stiff, the delay on the "trash item" spawning doesn't feel great either as you sometimes end up just zipping past it while moving forward.

That said, the game also just feels really easy? I don't know if there's any increase in difficulty as you go, I did end up dying in the beginning a bit, but now I'm at a score of 1730 and had 5 lives and I feel like my lives only go up at this point. In fact I kept the game running in the background while writing this comment and I still have 2 lives left xD

But otherwise nice to see a more finished feeling and smaller scope game on this jam, you knew what you wanted to do and executed exactly that, and that's also something people don't often recognize enough :P well done!
