Haha, loved it. The art style was awesome :)! And the way to deal with hazardous and residual waste? Yes.

On to gameplay feedback:

• I struggled at the start to understand where Residual and Degradable waste went. I managed to find it by visiting the game's page and reading each entry for the different trash. Getting the degradable waste into the fuel at the start was a little awkward - as the character didn't seem to stand on it like the other 2 trash entries.
• I didn't realize what the "You got a clone!" message meant until 50% through the game, I was just waiting for the junk sorting to finished before moving again, this probably needed a little more detail to the description.
• At the same time, I didn't know you could carry multiple crates of waste until later in the level too - by accident when spamming the "E" key quickly :).
• The character didn't inherit the movement of NomNom when standing on platforms, leading to getting jammed in off places, or slipping off the platforms whilst trying to jump to different spots. Just needed to check if the character was in contact with a platform on NomNom, then add NomNom's velocity to the character :).

Thanks for the hard work!

Really cool game that I eventually got the hang of!

There were a few things that were a little unwieldy during my playthrough. The camera felt a little jank, making me make a ton of blind jumps and stuff. The character controller here also moved incredibly quickly that I got caught in a lot of platforms and was unable to make the precise jumps I wanted to. Perhaps if the speed wasn't constant, rather a ramp up it may feel a lot better, but I understand if you didn't get a lot of playtesting time. Trust me, we didn't either!

Readability is something you should consider as well. The sheer detail of the snail was so overwhelming, it was sometime hard for me to see where the platforms actually were! Discerning the dark green and red bins were okay, but there a moment where I thought the back bin was a part of the art and not an actual gameplay element! I think it would help conversing over a cohesive art style that balances all the art and detail evenly, making the important elements important, and the not so important a little more into the background!

But other than that, congrats on getting into your first game jam! It's not easy, but a game is better than no game! We're all better designers in the end, good job!
