This has the potential to be very good, however I don't think it quite gets there.
the art and music were great, however I feel liek the sound effects were a bit off. Especially the "dumping garbage" one, it sounds so negative, I thought I was playing the game wrong until I realised that you only dump the correct coloured garbage automatically.
The spacing of the garbage is also not that great. It's impossible to get too far without missing tons of garbage because you arn't fast enoughto go and grab it all. Sometimes pieces spawn dirtectly opposite of each other, they are impossible to get then.
If those things were fixed I think this would be very fun though.
I could see this being a really great mobile game. Would personally play it to kill time when on the go. Music, graphics, story all mesh really well together and genuinely made me smile. Nice job!
hehe.. Fun little game. And yes, I did got fired. :P I started picking up all kind of trash and I guess it's a reason for that. Graphics looks nice, and the game works. Hence, the mood is definitely there. I would suggest that you change to sound for emptying the garbage bad, as I felt that it was something you shouldn't do. More positive sound maybe? anyway, good job! :)
I like the basic mechanics and premise of this game and it has some promise. The challenge however is a bit stumped by the fact that you can't collect all the garbage.
The animation for dumping garbage made me think I failed at first so that probably needs to be a little clearer
Rough edges but those can always be smoothed out, keep it up!
Confirmed to work on linux with some graphical issues (NVIDIA).
I liked the graphics but I think it could use some more gameplay after that. Like upgrades or enemies and these things. If you put a bit less time into the graphics and some more to these components it probably still would have looked decent ^^
I love it, the animation, sound and graphics is very nice. The controls were smooth.
The garbage seems to be placed randomly so often times is physically impossible to collect all of them which is not very good IMHO. The game was a bit confusing initially, I thought you have to categorised the garbage but turns out I need to collect everything and it would automatically dump the correct ones to the correct bin.
Apart from those I had a good time playing the game. Overall you've done a very good job!
As it's already been said, the main problem of the game is the audio feedback is the "dumping garbage". I really had the impression to do something wrong. I had fun with the game though, and the you are fired stuff at the end is quite cool :)
Thank you all for comments and suggestions. We are really happy for all this nice feedback! Yeah, you are absolutely right about the "dumping" sound, unfortunately we didn't notice it before submitting, we were in such a hurry! Next time we will listen carefully to all sounds *after* the first time while creating them.
@Ayaya33@puddelipip@jackyjjc@Drury: Great suggestions, guys. In fact a tweak on the random garbage generator algorithm that avoids vertical aligned trash couldn't be so difficult. We didn't thought about it.
@munchor: Thanks! We removed the "(untested)" label.
@WebFreak001: I had graphic libs issues on Ubuntu 64 bit, solved installing a couple of i386 packages. Don't know if it's the same for you. We'll try to export both for 32 and 64 to see if it solve the problem. And, still today we think that we made the right thing focusing a little bit more in graphics, instead of putting more gameplay: we're quite sure we wouldn't had time to add "decent" upgrades/enemies, probably we would come out with a uglier game with no upgrade nor enemies anyway :) However, we'll sure add that stuff if we'll develop the idea post-jam.
I really like this game! I think that it should be made possible to not miss things if you're really good; currently, you will always miss things so it's not possible to avoid getting fired. I liked the music and the graphics a lot, very nice and simple. Great job! :)
Good fun. I agree with some of the other commenters that it's a bit frustrating that it's never possible to get all the garbage - no matter how well you play, you'll lose eventually.
But overall, great mechanics and good polish - good job!
This feels really polished for a game jam game. The occasional clusters of garbage that are placed so that it is impossible to pick up all of them are a little frustrating. Poor Omar inevitably seems to get fired. XD
Nice game. My only complain is that the game its unfair. I mean, you are bounded to the game randomness. But its my opinions, most of the games follow that rule, so yeah XD dont listen what i said hehe.
I liked it. But I don't understand why I lost. I hit as much garbage as I could and I hit every dumpster. I assumed it'd dump what was supposed to be automatically but I ended up getting fired? It is still pretty interesting.
I really like it, the idea and design and graphics. Was a bit hard to reach all the pieces of garbage, and the recycle stations were a bit too far apart. Would have been nice if something more happened the longer the game progressed, like faster speed or something.
Thanks for leaving a rating and commenting on my game! I included your game in an episode of my Let's Play Ludum Dare 34 series to show my gratitude! :D
