How it feels
A compact, zero-checkpoint metroidvania that feels fast and punishing, with tight run-and-gun platforming and a cute but determined raccoon protagonist navigating a minimalist sci-fi station.

What players say
Players agree Trash Quest is a short metroidvania with tight platforming, but opinions split on its single-respawn-point design. Some find the runbacks to difficult sections annoying, while others say shortcuts keep frustration in check. Bosses have their own checkpoints, which helps. The game is cheap and quick, around an hour or two.
