A rather simple game, this one consists of you running and collecting garbage bags and putting them on a truck. Now to be honest if I was this guy I\'d quit my job since the people of this city seem to have no respect whatsoever for the poor garbage collector.

So basically you hop, dodge and collect garbage to put on your truck and save the world from global warming. An okay concept but the game is rather simple, and the concept seems to get really boring fast (especially since you truck always likes to stay a good 30 feet behind you (What a nice guy, he likes to make you walk 20 seconds per garbage bag). This provides little incentive to pass through all 26 (wow that’s a lot) levels.

On okay game that could do with some variety and enhancement. A solid attempt for the time period.

Cool game. I like that there are a lot of levels and a little variety. Nice twist in that you weren\'t tring to shoot the enemies, just clean up their garbage and avoid them. I liked the retro isometric look of it, too. I did get stuck between some of the crates sometimes tho.

Overall -- Good work, playable and lots of levels.
Artistical -- Decent gfx, and some connection to the news (but im not sure heat waves cause garbage to spontaniously combust)
Technical -- playable engine, lots of levels. The smoke and fire looked pretty good and were important to gameplay.
Genre -- Definately a game about garbage, and a good use of garbage for gameplay

When starting the game it gives a very promising impression, the graphics are good, the main character is cute and there is garbage all over the place and as you play the game garbage needs to be collected before it sets on fire. However, the game quickly tends to get quite boring. Most of the time is spent on looking at the main character walking back and forth to the garbage truck. It would have been nice if that process could be speeded up or perhaps changed so the main character kicks the garbage into the truck. Another problem with the game is that as a player there is not much to do in order to become better, the game itself is quite easy and the game mechanics are simply to simple.

Thumbs up for good graphics and fire and smoke effects.
Thumbs down for overall gameplay.

Collecting garbage is the meaning of this game, and
spending a lot of time looking at your character walk
between the garbage and the garbage truck apparently.
This results in you not wanting to play anymore when you
see 20 garbage object and easily multiply that with the
time it takes to dispose of them, \"monster kill\".
The graphics isn\'t really the best, but they\'re ok.
It has fire and smoke, which looks strange. You can
walk of the map and fall down into the endless pits of
hell! but you won\'t lose untill the Ozone-o-meter hits
the top. A few ememies turn up in later levels and add
a bit of variation to the game, they\'re pretty harmless
thought. The Game crashes when you close it with the
esc key.. unless you\'re in the main menu. GoGC could
have been much better i feel, but time isn\'t an
infinite resource right? :).
