About this game
Drive & Collect
Navigate a grid-based world and hoover up the never-ending trash avalanche that humanity left behind.
Recycle & Upgrade
Every piece of trash collected feeds into upgrades that make your robots faster, smarter, and hungrier for more. Unlock collection features, new bots, automation, and watch your tiny operation grow into something humanity would have found deeply impressive - if any of them were still around.
Clean the universe.
Explore different worlds and discover new biomes with new kinds of waste. Volcanoes that spew trash, polluted rivers, humanity's ingenuity in producing litter knows no bounds!
Features
Grid-based robot movement with satisfying incremental collection loops
Numbers go up and up and up
Deep upgrade tree for your bot - and then your fleet
This is intended as an active incremental - but you can unlock full idle mode as well!

Next Fest Demo Update!
Let's waste some time!Here comes an all-new demo update that a) hopefully addresses most of the issues folks found so far and b) delivers a closer taste of the final game.New Robots!Behind the scenes I've now finished up the full robot-roster and decided to pick out a different set of robots for this particular update. So you won't be seeing RAKE in this current build, but instead get introduced to DIGR and GUNNAR as trusty sidekicks to our little WIPR.There's also a new biome, new abilities and a bunch of re-balancing and moving around. So for example there's now a waste type that has a chance to create electric chain reactions - instead of that being a WIPR ability. Will be very curious to hear what you think! Artifacts!You can upgrade DIGR to find artifacts for you. Those can be fit in to special slots on the upgrade tree - and will then give the connected/neighbour nodes a boost. I'll likely add some better visualisation of that, but for now you should see the values of neighbour upgrades go up once you add an artifact.Do let me know what you think here, in the comments or on the Discord!/BenRead full article on Community Announcements (m1ndg4mes.studio)
