A game of simple fun, but lots of love put into it.
“The Burnable Garbage Day” isn’t a game you’ll be playing for weeks or months or years. It’s a small game, which you can finish in a few days. But in those few days it’s great and engaging fun. The game mechanics are simple. You pop garbage, and you finish quests. You move from one area to the next, until you reach the last goal. Yet that simplicity is done so well; if you have the newer phones with haptic feedback, every pop of garbage feels satisfying because the developer implemented that in the game, and the quests are easy to see and complete. The story is also simple, but it’s straight to the point. No beating around the bush. A lot of the storytelling can be found in the map too; the details of what trash you destroy, the terrain under the cleared rubbish, what the town looks like. Lots of effort was put into this game and it shows. The translation quality isn’t the best, but it’s understandable and, most importantly, gets the emotions of the different characters across. And the characters you meet are varied and colorful; not just the main ones, but the townspeople too: you’ll meet an octopus alien who migrated to the planet, a penguin unable to handle the cold, a small kid obsessed with conspiracy theories and astronomy, etc. I can’t delve any deeper or I risk spoiling the plot; but please check this game out. The developer clearly made this game with passion and love, and it’s a great little game to play with a few days. This is my first review for a reason; because I really want to see others also play this and enjoy it like I have. Thanks for reading this review, and hope you enjoy the game. P.S. Get the true ending after your first ending. It’s so wholesome. I love it, and just wrapped up everything for me nicely.
