Incinerator
Cheap and gets the job done! Removes waste from landfill but produces pollution.
Recycling Plant
More expensive than the Incinerator but produces no pollution.
Fantastic depth for a Jam game! It certainly brought out the city building perfectionist in me. Although I must admit I sent myself bankrupt Homer Simpson sanitation commissioner style the first few attempts. Perhaps a clearer idea of the continual cost of buildings and trucks would have helped, but I guess that comes with experience!
A solid entry. Nice art, simple but effective. I love these sort of games so the general premise excited me. It's calling out for a fast forward button, and maybe the ability to zoom. But I see alot of potential. Keep at it!
Please use WASD and not the arrow keys.. :wink: And the game starts very slowly, am I supposed to do anything other than collect garbage to get it going?
Very good job doing a city sim in such a short amount of time. Smart to simplify it to just roads and one utility. Overall, balancing could use some work since I think the city builds a little too slowly and you run out of cash quickly. Overall, very impressed!
