This was great, such a surprising setting but so well delivered! I adore the art style, it feels so aesthetically coherent and raw. Audio was so satisfying, whole thing was just really immersive, and I was impressed by how the movement and physics felt consistent and responsive. You really tapped into the joy of playing with the digger toy in a sandpit from my youth, which I assume is a pretty universal experience (?) and was very fun.
I love games with an environmental message, even if its just incorporated into the setting, it was cathartic to peel the car apart and tuck the bits into the neat lil' recycling dumpsters. The visual designs made it quite clear which was which, great job on that!
The claw-cam is suuuch a good decision, it was really helpful for lining up the dumpster drops. Great entry, really well done (and did you do this solo?? )!

Yup, I have the same childhood memory too :D Guess it is universal then. I am really happy that you enjoyed playing this! Thank you so much for this feedback! I figured the game would need a claw-cam right when I tested it. Stuff was falling out of sight all the time :D I really dig this aussie band called King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard and their whole discography is basically an environmental message so I got inspired by them for sure. Aaand yup, all done solo. Had a lotta free time so I just used all of it :D Anyways, thank you so much!
