How to play: Make things go left or right with your left and right keys. Try to throw garbage in the incinerator and water on your plant. That's all, really.
Simple idea, but with a lot of funny stuff thrown in. Gets challenging, as tempo increases. Area on sides of conveyor is a bit empty, could use some more (perhaps humorous?) objects to liven up an environment.
I like this game! It feels very Ludum Darish! :-) Humorous, retro graphics, 8bit music, simple gameplay. Actually this is one of the best game I've seen this jam, it feels really good. :-)
Fun game, love the music especially. The only criticism I have is that there is no visual feedback of the plant growing after the first few doses of water, but maybe that can't be helped.

Regardless, I have the same question; can you finish the game? Nice job!
As for the .git file, seems like I messed up indeed. Uploading a new version as I'm typing this. Thanks for the heads up!
Unfortunately it did not register all keypresses (Linux build), but it looks like it would be a lot of fun.
