Logistic Dumping by EthanTheBrave

[raw]
made by EthanTheBrave for LD 42 (COMPO)

Congratulations! You've been hired by the prestigious Logistics Dumping (LD) Waste Management Corporation to operate vehicle #0042!

As you well know, the trash depositories (or "dumps" as the locals call them) are getting rather full. In order to manage how much waste is being processed at any one time, we at LD Waste Management require our operators to think creatively in deciding when to pick up our customers' waste.

While some may view any waste sitting outside as a problem, we understand that technically, to fulfill our contractual obligation to the state, we need to remove waste only when a sizable amount has accumulated.

Be wary, however, as keeping homes at a high level of waste buildup will increase the potential for their owners or the state to file a complaint against us, and unfortunately, we are required by law to fire you on the spot if you have accumulated five (5) or more complaints.

Remember, you're paid based on the volume of waste collected, so get out there and manage that waste like a pro!

Have a great first day, and congratulations again on your new career in waste management!

ESC - End your run early and quit the game

When you begin, trash will accumulate in front of homes in the neighborhood. Position your truck in front of a home to collect its waste. A meter will fill above the truck to show how full it is, and when the meter is full, you will no longer be able to pick things up until you go back to the dump and wait for the truck to empty.

You will have to plot a course that allows you to regularly hit each home — if you allow trash to accumulate too much, the residents will start submitting complaints against you. When a home is getting near that limit, a yellow "!" will appear above it.

Try to gather as much trash as you can before the complaints pile up!

Really loved the voxel graphics. I think you should have made the warning icons visible offscreen as well. Right now it's kinda hard to tell where the complaints are comign from.

I enjoyed the game. Was relaxing to play. Required you to think about what you were doing and plan your routes in advanced. While the audio track was repetitive, it was not badly so. Worked well as a continuous background.

I liked the graphics aswell. Not sure if it is even possible to stay on a somewhat low level of trash.

the game is repetitive and seriously difficult. maybe you can add little bonus like "fast drop" ; "fast pick" .. anyway it's a funny good game :)

Nice game! I loved everything about it and the movement was smooth enough to make things easy. It ended too fast though because it got hard too fast and I couldn't collect as fast. I wish there were some upgrades to prolong gameplay a bit. Great job :)

Nice game, nice 3d look! Gameplay is a bit slow and repetitive. Even just speeding up the vehicle would make a difference. Randomly appearing speed powerups or a "nitro" feature with limited fuel would make it more exciting, as would moving objects to avoid. Also, being able to see where the garbage is piling up offscreen would help the strategy element of the game.
