Trashquest by icxon
Spirits of the Junkyard want to have some fun! They are going to decide who's going to be the king of the trash hill, and of course, the most sensible way to do that would be a TRIAL BY COMBAT!

I usually write something moody and lore-heavy here, but today it's our 10th Ludum Dare as a team, so I want to steal this place and celebrate a bit. First and foremost, I want to say huge thanks to my friends Ruslan and Alexey here, thank you for dealing with all the shmuck I produce on a constant basis. You are awesome and I wouldn't grow nearly as far as I am now without you.
This game is simultaneously a nod to a great piece called Hammerfight (which is awesome and you should play it) and to our first ever jam entry called Ancient Contact, which was also a physics sandbox playground. You can go and check it sometime later to see how much did we manage to improve (or degrade?) over those years. It was a realy nice journey. Bumpy ride, of course, ups and downs, happiness and depression, and this fulfillment after the game is finally submitted and you can relax and enjoy it. It's what we are here for.
Last, but not least, we'd want to thank all of you people, who spent your precious time playing our games, rating us, leaving feedback, and even buing our steam game. You, Ludum Darers, are absolutely fantastic bunch of people, wonderful in every way (except, maybe, picking a jam theme).
Thank you! And have a good time in rate weeks.

It reminded me of Robot Wars where you fight a bunch of different robots with different weapons.
Really well made, and I also loved the audio, both sfx and music:)
Well done!
Good job!
Great sound , graphics an humour- would be cool as a mobile game too. Keep it up!

The concept and drawings are neat
The way you limited how much you could scroll the wheel was pretty clever and wow, everything is just so satisfying! Super challenging.
Some form for progression/story would be cool, hope you develop this further!
The music fits the game well and I like the artwork.
Great entry!
Plays well, looks, sounds and feels great - awesome job!
I had a lot of fun playing this :slight_smile:
I did come up with some very funny combinations of attachments.
The use of middle mouse button to spin the character and its attachments was amazing!!!!
The graphics are very nicely done and the nice sounds/music complete an excellent LD entry!
Excellent entry indeed!!
