Got ~170000 points!
Nice game, but in my opinion the humans are the monsters in this game - and on earth. Why do they throw all their shit into the water? >.<
Didn't found any bugs and the graphics are nice, 10/10 would play again

Cute game. Really like the pixelly graphics. As for the theme, I may be overthinking this, but I did get the "I Am Legend" vibe that "if you are the only person among monsters, then you are the monster", so I thought it followed the theme better than most.

As for the gameplay, it was okay. Seemed like the main strategy seemed to be to wait until your green-meter got near the top, then plow across the bottom and throw a huge amount of stuff in the air. As such, I wasn't sure I was actually playing it right, but I did get a really high score.

That's a pretty sad game over screen :(

I ended up with 140010, eventually I went down to the bottom and just shot everything out from there where it's stopped moving and was a surprisingly effective strategy for whatever reason.

I liked the music, it was a surprisingly long loop.

The controls aren't standard. Usually when you don't have a mouse, you use arrow keys, as it gives more space on the keyboard for your hands, with your control scheme it was rather cramped. WASD is, by convention, almost always for mouse.

Nice overall, though :)

266k score before I had to leave the lagoon :<
The amount of dynamite being thrown in to lagoon could have exploded the whole lake out of the earth to be honest ^^;

Wow, the mechanic of having the trash pile at the bottom is what makes this game really great. Just plowing through the floor mashing L was very satisfying. Great job! Nice music too!

I got such a kick out of this. Any game that lets you eat bags of garbage, beer cans and heroin needles is a winner in my book.

Pretty well rounded too - nice graphics, nice sound (I like the sad music at the end), fun gameplay, etc.

My best score was 174,880.

Nice level of difficulty increasing as you go to the point where you just get overwhelmed and find out your total. I felt like the dynamite hit me unfairly quite a few times, from either it staying there longer than the animation or transparent pixel collision. Overall, fun, looks good, and sounds good.
