Space Waste by BBApps
The Earth is too full In 2020, you must now find another way to get rid of the Earth's garbage and population. You must send ships to certain planets to send your trash to while sending colonizers to others to stop overpopulation. The ways to lose are either a planet falling to overpopulation or your planet filling with garbage.
As trash builds up on your planets, you must find bigger ones to send the trash too, you must also send your ever growing population to other planets and colonize them, the only problem is that they will also make trash and that must be sent somewhere.

The UI was really nicely put together - it's simple enough, sure, but it felt really intuitive with is a great accomplishment.
Well done!
Thank you for including the tutorial. Tutorials are hard to make, but your tutorial was well made and taught me how to play the game in like 10 seconds.
The art style is cute and the UI is quite helpful. It's super handy to be able to just click on the notices at the bottom to go directly to that planet to fix the problem. One thing I think would have been nice is some numbers by the planets. It mostly helps early game to keep track of the population on your planets without having to click on all the planets you've colonized.
The game very quickly turns into just clicking things as fast as you can because your planets are populating and creating trash faster than you can even think about moving it elsewhere. It's pretty fun to frantically click on planets and just try to keep your head above water. Everything is pretty well polished. Between the tutorial and the alerts that take you directly to the planet, it is very easy to play; the menus don't get in you way, the only thing in your way is how fast you can click and running out of planets.
After writing this all about how frantic the game becomes, I now remember that there is a pause button in the game... Oh well, I liked playing it frantically, just throwing trash and people at random planets.
