How it feels

You pick up trash for money in a repetitive, quirky loop that lightly mocks consumerism and pollution.

What players say

Players praise the chaotic and absurd humor but agree the game is very short, taking about an hour to complete. Many note the linear progression and lack of a prestige system, and they are split on whether the price is fair for the length. The developer has promised future content.
