How does your game fit the theme?
It fits the theme "calm before the storm" because:
1) There is a storm in my game (when the lesson ends and a crowd of students appears like a storm).
2) There's calmness - you can calmly clean up the school while the lessons are going on.
3) The point is that the storm is inevitable, but you can deal with the consequences.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Everything by myself, except for:
1) Some audio files (I took them from https://freesound.org).
2) A pixel font (which is a free Unity asset).

Real fun game tho difficulty add ups very hard at the end I just had 7$ left :<
It's a fun game to do when bored or like a get the best score game for sure! Well done!
Good stuff. I love how the trash bag got so big and I was mopping the floors. That was real funny. Great entry!
Oh man, I was laughing playing this! Such fun! :D
I was really into the game while I was playing it, HAHA it was a lot of fun!
Impressive work on this game! The creativity and polish are remarkable, and it's clear that every aspect was crafted with care. It’s an amazing accomplishment and a joy to play.
the game is nice. and it was pretty funny how big your bag can get.

What a lovely little game :)
Had a blast haha
Next Death Stranding :)
Funny piece. I loved the mood, those crowds of kids and the soundtrack on ending made me feel really like a war hero :D
Great job guy!
A solid submission! Everything fits so well into the theme, while the gameplay loop itself is very nice. The background music is very catchy, and the art is very good! The money I earned through hard work was unfortunately lost due to a lot of unclean children :( I thought that the difficulty was good, starting out nice and simple and then the final levels would need more strategy to clean everything. Anyways, great great game!
Very solid game, that made good use of the theme. The difficulty progresses well, allowing the player to have enough time to learn and ramping up the difficulty after a while. For improvement, maybe allow the player to spend the money on upgrades like more bins or better bin bags.
Nice game ! Although it feels like impossible to beat, I died in level 10, maybe I just used the wrong strategy. It was fun and very well balanced though, I liked it. Simple idea but executed nicely. Maybe some way to get a little extra time would have been good? I feel that, but also maybe it could have unbalanced things. Great entry.
Hee-ho. Hardcore game, nice vibe. Good
Really cool. I liked to clean while vibing to the song. I think it's a really well planned game that put us in the shoes of a janitor, i started to get mad because the students are so damn dirty haha they could throw the garbage in the trash can themselves haha. I lost in the last level, which is pretty good! Nice work! The art is pretty good too! And it makes so much sense haha a storm of kids...
Thanks!
Wow, really cool idea! It was fun playing it and watching the kids running around. Good art and really good SFX and music aswell. Good job!
very unique and one of a kind game, its absolutely amazing, the idea itself is mind blowing man, keep it up, its a solid 9, and if you mind, read this:

Im a 14 years old boy, who created a game while learning godot and gdscript while ALSO participating in a game jam, it was super hard, but I guess I nailed it, and Im looking for people to rate my game aswell as feedback it, and as someone noble, I will do the same with you, and if I didnt comment, it means your game is actually perfect for all my needs, or IM just not very critics-full, anyway, have a good day:

insanely fun game
1) risk reward structure of bringing trash back early to go faster. The gameplay is sleek, polished and purposeful
2) different obstacles trash and water brings good gameplay variation
3) Fits theme very well with an interesting twist i havent seen yet
4) The game is quite difficult, the penalty for missing trash becomes large, I lost on day 10 with exactly -2 dollars
5) nice pixel graphics and fitting sound, all the kids are bald, the trash bag can get huge!
Thank you for your feedback! It is so pleasant when someone goes deep into your game!!!
very funky, loved the character design, music & lil animations! could've been cool for the balance to serve some purpose, like being able to make meaningful upgrades - the puddles could've also had danger involved with them, like making the character slide across the ground if walk on them or something - still was great, had a lot of fun- thank you for making this!
Thanks! I think there are a lot of ways I can improve the gameplay. I have also rejected some ideas because I want to polish the game instead of adding more features. Also, thank you for your suggestions!
Woah that's a hard game, really interesting, after multiple tries I can't finish the game with any money, I might try it one more time, really interesting, nice job on this one!
Thank you! It gets hard near the end, but it was my plan: -)
