How to play

BhvrGameJam2024-Win64-Shipping_NhjHKwhu8e.jpg

Collect trash around the park and bring it back to your mafia don in the center (The big red square!!)

Every 45 seconds, a new group of enemy raccoons from a competing mafia family will come to raid your base and eat your trash!

The glowing yellow trash cans allow you to summon more Mafioso Raccoons at the cost of some of your trash. Your new recruits will help defend the pile, and collect trash for you to help keep your boss fed and happy!

Every wave, the boss gets hungry (Must be stress eating!), so make sure you have enough food!

Performance

There's two builds you can get, the regular build, and the low spec build. Here are the recommendations for which build to get. Bare in mind, this was all tested at 1440p. If you have a 1080p monitor, adjust accordingly.

Regular build

1070ti/2060/3060 or above should work fine.

The game isn't super heavy, there's just a lot of entities on screen at once.

Low spec build

1660/1660 Super/lower power laptop GPUs, or anything between a 1070 and a 1660.

When in doubt, go low spec if you have low power laptop.

I like to go into games blind so I always read the description after playing.
At first I was thinking that it was a cute little game about cleaning up your park. Then the rival mob came in and there was blood everywhere D:

Very cool game!

I would have liked to have more signs to understand about the currency and how to get some. But otherwise, I like the idea and its fun!

Definitely had my 4080 sweating as time went on. Maybe it's the grass? Anyway, nice graphics as you'd expect from an Unreal entry. Gameplay was a bit simplistic - seemed the enemy raccoons could really beat me up, despite my mashing F. Had to retreat and let my posse take care of them. All around a nice entry, well done team.
