Trashwars by pestodesign

Your factory is producing a box of waste every 3 seconds. That is a lot of trash and nobody likes that!
The solution: use your droids, drones and cannons to send your trash to your neighbor! There, it is not your problem anymore!
Droids shoot each other when they meet. Wherever a droid dies, it is dropping it's load. Where. Ever. It. Dies.
And when you run out of space... someone has to lose!


This is our first Ludum Dare with this team, please give us feedback and help us make our game better :) Oh, and have fun killing the bots! :D

And I am very glad you find it addictive, we wanted to make the fun factor and replayability very high!
@attala That's a really good sign! Thanks!

Cheers!
Against spamming those little Sexy bots we made the Drone, it can be quite effective and can turn the tide!
Did you play with someone too? That ia the best! An old friend showed up yesterday and soon we had a mini championship at home :laughing:
The menu screen truly is amazing, well done :)
I have a list of about 60 games I will try from this jam, yours is on it already! Nice to meet you :)
Try it against a real opponent, if you can really, it is such a big fun. We had a lot of laughing and cursing on our play tests :D

Maybe you could add some random events to help the losing player to make it a little more interesting ?
I think it would make a great mobile game with a few more feature :)
Loved the art as well !
We are planning on a mobile versions, where two people can play on the same phone. :)
@andreas-roschal I am happy you like the graphics! The game is simple, but it has some mechanics at least :D we are happy that it works. It is finishing when someone is reaching 100 trash, a game is about 4 minute long. It did not end for you?
Good luck in your next ones.
@belug23 Thank you for playing! It means a lot for us!
@hatten Thanks, I worked a lot on the graphics! We kept it simple deliberately, to make something finished! :)
I had one issue but mostly because i don't have a 16:9 monitor, i couldn't see bottom UI (if there was supposed to be one) nor the bases with turrets and stuff :) Very fun entry in general, well done!
@shelvid Ah that's a petty! We had only energy to implement one screen proportion. We will fix that later too for sure!
The Sexy rush can be broken with a drone followed by some droids! ;)
There is an instruction on the main menu jnder the help button, but a lot of people miss it! I will post it on itch.io too, good idea!
So, great game! :thumbsup: grml... :sweat_smile:
@drtizzle Thanks for the feedback! I don't think there is a winning tactic, because there are different counter-tactics for anything. Someone before mentioned smurfing with the Sexy bots, but that can be broken with a drone or a Big mama to halt them a bit. Or my friend was trying it the other day and she just spawned the big ones n a row, but that also can be broken. If we will work more on the game we will playtest it more for sure, testing for sspawn times, speed of droids etc. And random events also are on the list, like bombs and explosions. I am very happy that we even could test as little as we did, because that already gave so much feedback and shaped the game.
I wish the cannot flew further, didn't feel like it shot the garbage far enough across the screen.
I got owned by the computer.

Wish there was multiplayer (online) to this,but it seems very polished, and ready to expand!
### That's a 10 out of 10 from me! :thumbsup_tone4:
> 5 star but you know what I mean :joy_cat:
The AI is a bastard! :D
We are looking into porting this to mobile with local and online multiplayer too!
