Really nice looking game! I included it in a compilation video series of all of the Mystic Western Game Jam games, if you'd like to take a look :)

Loved this little experience, the joined up stars across the heavens reminded me of a cat's cradle. Also really loved stuff being whipped away by the wind outside the train. Great job, keep up the good work!

The discover of the star drawing stuff was neat, and was interesting in contrast to the more immediate trash throwing stuff.

I like this a lot. The setting is perfect.

I spent so much time cleaning up before I realized what this was about.

And then the physics... the most subtle acid trip among all the submissions...

Indeed, I have thrown everything into trash bin. The game is entertaining about that :p

Don't ask me what this game is about, and don't ask me if there is any goal or ending to it (I for one did not find one), but do ask me if I spent nearly 15 minutes throwing everything I could find into the trash (several times, I feel like this is important but I can't quite tell why it happened). Not only is this what I did with the majority of my time, its also how I started it. Screen fades in to floor with piece of crumpled paper, "hey, I wonder if I can pick that up, oh I can sweet", "hey, that's a convenient trash can, I wonder if it works, oh it does, sweet", "hey, what are all these plates and bowls doing nicely stacked here, why aren't they in the trash can, I should rectify this."

So yeah, I enjoyed whatever it was I did, as for critiques I have very few. (rest of comment here: pastebin apparently itch has a comment length limit which seems odd:/)
