great music and sprites! definitely nailed that Game Boy vibe. i really love this concept! you brought in the space theme in more than one way. seems like a fully flesh-out game. well done!
it took me a minute to get used to the tank-like controls and using the tractor beam, but everything controlled nicely once i figured it out. i think i would have enjoyed playing more, but i kept bumping into trash and it would just start flying away faster than i could catch it lol.
also it felt like a lot of work to get one piece of trash at a time and then bring it back to the compactor. i’m not sure if you are able to get more than one at a time, but it makes me wonder if being able to collect many pieces in one go would be more fun. maybe there would be a limited cargo space, but enough to get a few dozen pieces. then you could play a short round of tetris when you get back to the compactor.
