Tiny Garbage Man by Fryderider
You're a tiny Garbage Man living inside a semi underground waste container. All kinds of garbage are being dumped here and it's your job to recycle it!
- WASD to Move
- Mouse to aim
- Right Mouse Button to grab an item
- Hold Left Mouse Button to charge up power
- Release Left Mouse Button to launch the item you're holding
Keep an eye on the Garbage Meter When it's full you're covered in garbage and the game is over!
Try to recycle as many items as you can!

It's lovely :3
The only thing that bugged me was the depth (z axis). It's quite hard to retrive the right position to shoot in the pipes when you lose it, and in the end I found that the best way to score was to never move up or down, since they're always some garbage to pick left or right^^
And one other little detail, you could have use a *round-trip* (dont know if it's the right english word x) ) for your power launch, I mean that once it reach the maximum power, it lose power, so the player have to be precise and release at the right moment :D
But these 2 things apart it was really fun and great job with the 3D assets OnO!!!
And the *tutorail* was clear too!
Great job for this one! \o/
Other than that, great game!
Tutorial is quick and you can swiftyly get a hang of what the controls are.
At first I was a bit worried about the Z-Axis being used in the movement but in the end it was all cool ! If I got to make a gameplay tweak, it would be maybe removing the charge meter, because I thought throwing at minimal power isn't really helpful and only slows down the pace overall. Removing would have made the thing much more hectic and crazy in my opinion.
But don't get me wrong I loved this game ! You did a really awesome job ! Congrats !
The graphics are great, and the gameplay fun, I came to 52 recycled items on the first run!
I had no problems with the z-axis, though later due to the amount of garbage i never had to move up or down.
The tutorial was a great addition. and awesome job making it 3D!
Great job! :)
