Nice work

The only game in the jam I've seen so far with a full-on reward loop - and what an addictive reward loop it is!

I also really like the idea of right clicking to separate trash. We actually brainstormed a similar thing for Slam Junk, but decided it didn't fit the game. It works really well here, though!

Fun game! Reminds me of Papers please, but with far less consequences for your actions, i just made my family live in a cardboard box until i had maxed the upgrades out haha

Love the style and audio design, and good pacing of new trash sorting mechanics being added, really good job on this guys!

Really nice layers of strategy and micro-decisions, with a surprisingly addictive game loop! The choices to upgrade are interesting as the best choice isn't always obvious. I really enjoyed this one!

although many games in this jam had similar sorting minigames, no game made it this satisfying and polished. great work

Thank you! I actually really liked your game as well, especially the sound design.

Very impressive work! The game is easy enough to start, and becomes increasingly hectic as the extra layers are added on top. Very on theme as well!

Got the mansion in 28 days, and had a blast doing it! Such a cohesive aesthetic, gameplay was fun and challenging trying to only grab one type of trash while avoiding others, and the upgrades / progression felt meaningful and also changed the experience enough to keep it fresh. Seriously one of my faves this jam, great work you should be proud! :)

Very nice! My best true ending day count (with all family members/heart animation) was 23 days.

Very interesting simulation game! Including having a very mature settlement UI, I like the feeling that I can recycle more garbage every time the garbage truck comes to take out the garbage.

Recycle Rush is a fantastic game that hooked me for over an hour! I love the cool art style; reminds me of 'Papers, Please'. It took me 32 days to purchase the mansion, but every moment was enjoyable. Sorting trash into bins was surprisingly fun, especially with power-ups like AOE and strength.  I particularly enjoyed the end screen when purchasing the mansion; the artwork was quite lovely!

Overall, Recycle Rush is a must-play for anyone looking for a unique and addictive gaming experience.

The papers please comparison is appropriate, not derivative in any way but definitely inspired either directly or indirectly for the better
