A really fun base for a game. As others have mentioned, the lack of a goal does do a great disservice, but I think it is easily solvable by simple introducing a time limit, smaller levels, and gradually increased complexity and possible interactions from level to level. The windows breaking is a great example of things to introduce, and the first thing that came to mind as a logical next step is pedestrians walking on the sidewalk. Launching garbage at them and knocking them down like bowling pins I think would be very in line with what you've already made here. The models and colors are really pleasing. Great work!

Hahaha!

The idea of throwing garbage at peoples houses is really fun, also liked it when I discovered you can also destroy windows :) As mentioned before there is little object, but still fun to play for a while :)

This is a really fun concept! Agreed with the other commenters that it would be nice to have a more concrete objective, but it was just fun driving around and smashing windows. Nice work!

Thanks! I'm glad you still enjoyed it!

Definitely could have used a timer or a goal of some kind, but fun nonetheless!  Had a fun time discovering that the window bonus was infinite.

Developer

Thanks, that's a great suggestion!

I really like the concept and had a lot of fun playing the game.  I think it's a super creative use of the theme! Really nice art and cool idea ! :D

Developer

Thanks for the kind feedback!

Developer

Thank you very much! Thanks for the kind words, but my controls are horrible to be honest :D
Loved your game, very creative!

other games in 48 hours are very bad in this component

Huh never thought that throwing garbage at other people's houses would be very fun lol. Very nice game but there seems to be no goal in this game, well besides just throwing trash bags at people's houses lol. But that was a fun experience thank you for that XD.

Developer

Haha thanks! Hmm, a goal would be a nice addition, but I am just not very good with game design :P
So I have no idea how to improve that

So fun to play!! Especially liked that there is no any limits and you can throw the garbage as much as you want.

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the feedback! Yes it makes the game much easier and simpler :

Taking out the trash never looked so good. Fun game and a hilarious concept!

Developer

Thanks a lot! Glad you enjoyed it!

Submitted(+1)

Hah, this was fun. Definitely could have expanded upon the concept & added some much-needed polish with some more time, but it's a funny & creative take on the theme. Making the truck honk & having in-game reactions to & bonuses from that could be an easy win, there.

Developer(+1)

Thank you very much! Yeah, the honking was a nice addition 😄
Glad you enjoyed the game!

What  a concept lol! Nice work.

Developer

Thank you very much!

Submitted(+1)

this is definitely one of the funniest concepts I've seen so far. The idea of a disgruntled garbage man just throwing everyone's trash back at them is very funny, and I really like the way you do it!

It kind of reminds me of a casino bonus game type of thing, I really like the way it feels. There's also the art style, which is of course very fun and clean. Good job for such a short jam!

Developer

Thanks for the kind comment! My initial idea was that this is some sort of alternative universe where garbage management is deliveries lol. But I also like your take - makes more sense :D

Submitted(+1)

Hilarious idea, very clever! Some sort of time limit could maybe add a little bit of pressure and force the player to keep moving instead of destroying every single window.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! Yeah, I also had the same idea, just ran out of time :

The window bonus made my day, I like it! Definitely a potential for fun game if expanded upon with timers or cop chases!

Developer

Thank you very much! Yeah, cops could be great idea if implemented well

Submitted(+1)

I like the idea and the mechanics! However I think there should have been more of a challenge. Fun game overall!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! Yeah, that's what I was struggling with 😅
