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!

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 :)

Dungeon DevThis 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!

Big Kart Fishing: Grand PrixDefinitely 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.

Mayor WerewolfI 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

Beware of the bunnyHuh 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.

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

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

Seek & HydeHah, 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.

Cellophanethis 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!

Death Trap HeroHilarious 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.

Human CalculatorThe window bonus made my day, I like it! Definitely a potential for fun game if expanded upon with timers or cop chases!
Submitted
Cricket AlgorithmI like the idea and the mechanics! However I think there should have been more of a challenge. Fun game overall!
