Fun game with really nice pixel art! I enjoyed playing it, I was just wondering, if the chihuahuas can lose their suspicion slowly like on some bar of suspicion. But good job, it was fun!
Thank you! Chihuahuas only lose suspicion when you hide in the bin. Maybe we could've made it clearer with the UI! :)
Very cute game, fun to play! I love the look of it and it could be stressful at times hiding away in a corner haha, nice job!
Thank you so much <3
I don't wont to "return to menu", I want to play again! ;) Very cool concept, very cool presentation, that was great fun, great job! :)
Thank you! We will be adding play again! :D
Really good stuff
Thank you! :)
I love the style and the raccoon! Easy mechanics and very enjoyable!
Thank you! :)
The Chihuahuas, those little monsters... so annoying XD In reality, it's a very nice game—simple but really cool! (I don't have a big score tho... XD)
If you want to check out our game, feel free to do so :3 https://butterflan.itch.io/spicy-king
Thank you! They rly are lil monster x)
Fun game with beautiful sprites! It was fun to play and try to beat my high score. One thing that might be cool to add is a different ending screen depending on your score. I would like to see more of the awesome pixel art! Sharing my high score if anyone wants to try to best it! Great work!
Thank you ! There is some sound effects we did specifically for different endings, so we will for sure do some end screens after the jam. Thank you for ur feedback! <3
This game is super fun and cute haha i really enjoy it, amazing work man!
Thank you! The whole team put really good effort in this beauty!
Super cute game! The game presents a nice, polished game loop. It would be useful to have an indicator of where you will jump out of the trashcans. Great work!
Great feedback! Thank you so much!
Really cute! I love how you get slower the more trash you've picked up. The chihuahuas look scary!
We really wanted to emphasize scale in every part of the game, and that's why we had backpack scaling along with noise, and we also wanted to slow him down because we wanted to follow the theme of our game and of the jam! Chihuahuas are adorable!
Very neat looking game, with nice gameplay. Every input has feedback on the screen and it is easy to see if we are doing something good or bad. It was especially useful to play around the chihuahua, even though i was there was a way to escape them ? (Or maybe there was one?)
Congrats for the game, i love raccoons so it was a pleasure to play !
Thank you so much! We tried to make the game as clear as possible <3 There's only one way to escape chihuahuas- in the thrash bin! Thank you!
Oh no, now i have to play again (and have fun again). Thank you for the reply!
This game was very fun and creative! And with an extremely cute artstyle, I enjoyed it!
I found a bug I want to report: trash can spawn near a trashcan while you're hiding in it; if that happens, and your backpack is full, you won't be able to leave the trashcan because the raccoon prioritizes picking up trash. I guess this bug can reinforce the lore of the game, to give a message about the character's greed!
The bug didn't ruin my enjoyment, so don't worry about it. Congrats on the submission, it's very adorable :)
Thank you so much for your feedback! Another player had the same problem, after the jam we will fix the bug! <3 And your lore interpretation is really good! :D
Those skinny chihuahuas really gave me a scare! Love the interpretation and the stealth arcade mechanics, the quick little loading bar as you hold space is such a clean feature. Love the art and SFX!
Thank you so much! We really enjoyed making it <3
Hello fellow trash-programmer! I enjoyed being a stealthy racoon, the noise indicating line graphic is simple but done extremely well, I had a good sense of when I was about to be chihuahua’d. I would have liked to see some kind of bonus for returning a full sack of trash, maybe an upgrade to carry even more? Very fun game.
Thank you so much! This upgrade suggestion is a great one, we will try doing it after the jam! :D
I think this is a pretty fun small game. Something that would have elevated it for me would to have slightly more variation, maybe allow me to throw away trash to make a getaway, or have the trashbin jump to other locations or fill up. It’s a tad repetitive for me to try and bump my score up
Thank you so much! These are all good ideas, we want to upgrade it after he jam so we'll keep your suggestions in mind! :)
Great concept ! The sounds are good, so is the art ! Keep up the good work :)
Thank you so much <3

Thank you! We really appreciate the encouragement!
Cool concept, had fun !
Thank you!
I like the sound design of the game.
Sound Design is chefs kiss. Our sound designer did a great job !
Really cute! Great idea, with a decent risk/reward mechanic!
Thank you!
