You have to avoid meteroids, garbage thrown by some blue things, aliens and some brackets. The overall game is good, but the graphics are lacking a bit.

To the artistical rule: the backgrounds and aliens are quite nice, but the airplane, brackets and \"blue things\" aren\'t very amazing and I don\'t think a news event only few people have heard about is a good idea for this competition.

On the technical side, I give probs for the smoke effect, which fits well to the aliens, as well as the fire effect, but this one doesn\'t look really good as it just fills about 7x3 pixels area and so doesn\'t really look dynamically generated. A plus also for the pixel-perfect collision detection (though this one is copied, but no matter).

The theme of the game doesn\'t really fit together I fear. On the one hand there are aliens and meteroids, but on the other hand these blue things throwing garbage to you and the brackets. A few more explanation about this in the readme wouldn\'t have been bad, so my score here will just be 2.

Scores: Overall 4 Artistical 3 Technical 3 Genre 2

In Garbage Man Stan you control garbage burners. You have to press the numpad keys as often as you can to burn all the garbage. The game gets 3 points for overall gameplay by me.

On the artistical side, I have to praise Onewing for the amazing garbage trucks. Also, the background effect (day-night changement) is a nice detail. I also like the way the garbage in the burners is represented. I will give 4 points for that.

The technical side of the game is also convincing. The smoke effect is simple (filled ellipses), but it looks good. The fire is also nice to look at. However, the news event (burning garbage and environmental pollution) describes the situation of the game, but doesn\'t really has any influence on what the player has to do. So it\'s a 3 for the technicals.

The game concept itself is very round, i.e. all game elements fit together. However, it gets quite boring after few minutes, as all you have to do is pressing buttons as often as you can. Here there\'ll be 3 points, too.

Scores: Overall 3 Artistical 4 Technical 3 Genre 3
