Welcome to Bildschirmflausch's Waste of Time!

Did you ever want to be in full control over an atomic waste dump? In case you wanted to be, this game probably is nothing for you, since the seemingly endless streams of waste makes it hard to keep everything controlled for very long. Craft big shelves to store lots of barrels of waste only to flip them over by accident and witness huge explosions throwing everything around the room.

Controls (NO CONTROLLER SUPPORT YET)

  • WASD or arrow keys: move the fork-lift-truck
  • E: interact with objects
  • T: toggle between movements (inverts the rotation when driving backwards)

Awesome teamwork! The graphics look nice and the sound effects fit the game nicely. The controls are quite hard though and you can't always see what you are doing. Also I did not really understand why I lost most of the time, I suppose it could be a bit more clear. Keep making games! ;-)

Nice graphics, Couldn't figure out why some objects wouldn't take my waste, but good execution on the idea.

That was funny! I've found it a bit too difficult at first, but after I got the hang of it, it was fun constructing shelves and managing the waste. The physics was a bit frustrating (if a shelf full of waste falls over you are basically dead), but it was overall nice.

I had a lot of trouble understanding what the devs wanted me to do to build new shelving. There seemed to be a very specific order in which things had to be done, and I struggle getting it. With that said, I did have fun playing the game and I would play it some more, just to see how many barrels I can safely stow. One more thing, I would recommend against making it possible to REMOVE barrels from the shelves. On a few occasions I found myself picking those up, as opposed to adjacent barrels lying on the floor.

Nicely done. Controls felt good, graphics and audio was perfect.

A good game and congratulations on getting it finished, although it was quite difficult (for me, at least). The hitboxes on objects seemed a bit unintuitive and I struggled to pick up the items I wanted quite often. I didn't really like the fact that you can't pick up shelves once they're knocked over, but otherwise, everything worked reasonably well (after reading the instructions, of course — I like the crafting element). As far as audio goes, I feel like there could have been a sound for items falling on the floor and barrels exploding, but the rest of the sound was good. I think maybe if those areas had been covered, I could have played this for quite a while longer.

Seems that E button not working or I just don't get it, but riding around and crushing stuff was pretty fun!
