Seems like one of the more polished entries in the competition.

The smoke and fire effects look excellent, and the graphics are generally very well-done.

The garbage theme is very well integrated into the game, and the appearance of the garbage is very garbage-like.

The news aspect of the game is also very appropriate and well-integrated, though it could have been nice to see it explained within the game.

Overall, though, a polished and enjoyable product.

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.
