A bullet hell, but make it raccoon!

Live the life of a raccoon collecting trash around the street, but beware of the dogs! Go through waves of barky enemies to make it to the end of the game. (And maybe you will find yourself collecting something, too...)

Features:

  • Lots of cute dogs
  • Trash, of course
  • Really cool and nice raccoon art
  • Baddass music
  • A ton of achievements
  • Did we mention the cool raccoon art???

Move around using WASD or arrows. Shoot by pressing Z or the space bar and use items with E or X. The game is also playable with one hand with the mouse.

All downloads over at Itch!

The song is original!! but SFX are public domain. Please take that into account when rating.

Nice game! I liked the amount of content that you can do with the achievements as well. I also took the theme to trash collection, but as a possum instead :D

I would have liked a bit more responsivity regarding powerups. Like sfx when getting a new powerup, when activating a powerup, a powerup bar to see when it stops, etc.

I LOVE Bullet hells! It got really crazy haha but tons of fun. Nice work with the gameplay and music!

I really loved the art direction and the music! Another great idea from Garbage Collector versus dogs with different types of attacks. Really cool! A small place on the board in 5th place. I think I'll try my luck again tomorrow!

Congratulations

I think the raccoon misses a clear hit box zone (maybe just on the head or something), especially when trying to go through tight bullet patterns

Other than that, that's a very fun game, with great music and art. I liked that the sound effects were just at the right balance (it can quickly go out of hand with this kind of game)

Well Done

Love bullet hell games, didn't expect to see one in collector theme but it fits well! I like the art style and music, and the gameplay is smooth as well. BGM kinda reminds me of the ones from Touhou Project, I wonder if that was the inspiration?

One thing I personally think could be improve is to adjust the raccoon's sprite to fit the hitbox more, I noticed that the tail and the head are not part of the hitbox and got used to that, but it could be confusing for the first time.

I loved the art direction and the racoon's face changing based on what happened is adorable. The dog enemy animations I love. It is a hard game, but I think it's well paced being a bullet hell. The achievements add some replayability such as the win without hitting any dogs achievement. The transition to the game over screen could have been a bit quicker and had more clarity that you ran out of health.

Solid SHMUP. A little basic but gets the job done.

Very nice entry! I like the art and the audio especially. The sound when a dog is defeated made me chuckle every time. I did encounter a potential bug where the entire game froze for a few seconds before the trash bag power up was used. Regardless though really good job!

A simple bullet hell game, just like it says on the tin. Not really my cup of tee so not sure if I got to see everything but it was enjoyable as long as it played it. Graphics were absolutely the highlight of this one with very fitting animation style. Maybe could've used something to spice up the gameplay but it is absolutely fine as a jam game.
