PSA: As of Chrome 42 (Released April 14th), NPAPI plugins are disabled by default! That means Unity Player, Java, and Silverlight games will not work in the Chrome browser! That said, Flash in the Chrome browser continues to work fine (PPAPI).
To Developers: Consider using HTML5 and WebGL instead. Having troubles with the export? Don’t worry. See Ports below.
To Players: A workaround is to enable NPAPI plugins in your Chrome settings. Click or Copy+Paste this URL in to a tab:
As of September 2015 however, this option will no longer be available.
Other browsers (Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari) and Flash are unaffected, but FWIW there is no Unity Player or Silverlight for Linux.X
**IMPORTANT** Be sure to RECYCLE robot parts for the win! Look for the conveniently placed green bins.. :)
Junk robots have infested Ralph's scrapyard. It's time to call in the Hoover Man, a crack commando equipped with his trusty Vacuum Blaster. Smash those pesky robots and recycle their parts!
Controls:
- WASD to move, Space to jump
- Mouse to aim
- Right mouse button sucks in junk
- Left mouse button fires junk back out
Note:
If the Web build doesn't work, try the Windows download! :)

Very fun game, I love the sound effects. The movement Controls feel a little loose though.
This was great. Always enjoy your work. The mechanic was fun as hell. Took me a bit to realize to finish the level I had to gather all the robot parts and put them in the trash bin, but that was fine :) Well done for 48 hours. Love the art, style and music.
Awesome, thanks George :) I realized after submitting that the goal could have been made more obvious - probably should have put some tutorial text in the UI to that effect. Appreciate the feedback!
Nice game and very well polished. I am amazed that you could do this much within game jam.
I really like this! I think the idea that collecting robots is very neat. It motivates me.
Very polished feeling. Needs a bit more motivator / reasoning for robot part collection. I did realize that very fast when playing, but while killing robots and bringing their remains to the boxes, it didn't really reward you wish anything or so it felt. It was great to watch on screen and overral playability was really good too! Congrats :)
This is simply amazing! Great game mechanics, very smooth controls and perfect connection with the theme! I've recycled whole planet and had a lot of fun doing that :)
Thanks Tommy! Detocroix, I agree with you about the robot part collection feeling a bit arbitrary at the moment. Perhaps I should have made a 'trash compactor' that turned robot parts into special bullets or armor pieces! :D Thanks for the feedback, it all helps.
It "sucks" in a good way :D The idea is cool, never seen such a game before. Hope it's longer.
Nice Job! Very fun with the physics. The graphics and animations are really cool!
This is an interesting concept with a cool aesthetic. It's good enough. Very cool mechanic ++
"Well Done, you're a recycling MACHINE!"
What have I become!!!
Nice idea! I also liked robotic sounds and music. The walking animation is a bit weird, it's the same whether you run or jump.
The idea of being able to shoot different items is good, but I think it would be better if I had a simpler way to recycle, like bins only taking robot parts. Also, enemy projectiles can accidentally hurt you when you try to pick them up. And I think you should limit their maximum amount, a lot of physic objects leads to lag.
Overall, this game is fun and cool, but it feels unfinished. Similar environment, similar enemies.
Very cool. One of my favourites. Very well executed. (if anything, walking animation could be better)
This is great! Now stop doing whatever you're doind and go make a full game based on this.
Nice mechanic, well polished. Not sure quite what I had to do after I killed all the robots though...
This is an *awesome* mechanic. The art style is awesome, and I love how everything is physics based, and you can use the enemies' bullets against them. Well done!
(It took me a while to realize that the level extended to the right as well as to the left, but I figured it out eventually.)

Mini Submission FAQ
TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
CAN I ENTER BOTH EVENTS?: You should pick 1 event, whichever you think it’ll do better in. If the idea is strong, and everything plays well enough, you can go Compo. If you’re a perfectionist, and would prefer people to play a more polished game, do the Jam. Historically, more games are entered in the Compo, but with more people and more time, Jam games have the potential to be better (that doesn’t mean they are). Many solo participants do enter the Jam.
If you made 2 games, unfortunately, the website doesn’t support multiple submissions per user. To submit your 2nd game, you will have to make a 2nd account. Only do this if you made 2 games. Alternatively, if one game is better than the other, then consider just entering the better game.
CAN I KEEP WORKING UNTIL THE DEADLINE?: Yes! Immediately after the 48 or 72 hours, we do something called Submission Hour. As the name suggests, it’s an extra hour for you to package, upload, and submit your games. If there were catastrophic issues trying submitting your game, or you misunderstood how submissions work, that’s okay. It happens. We’re flexible. If you need advice, check with the folks on IRC. If you need an admin, get in touch.
CAN I KEEP WORKING ON MY GAME?: Oh definitely! You should! But for the sake of judging, keep the Compo or Jam version around. You can include a link to the Post-Compo/Post-Jam version of your game on your games page, but sure your main links are the original version.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate at least 20 games to improve your visibility (Coolness).
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crashes, win condition, or tiny bugs after the deadline. In a sense, this is like “porting” to support more players. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just fixing mistakes you should have caught had you been better rested.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up. Alternatively, if you just posted it, wait a minute. The cache may not have refreshed yet.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
Very cool mechanic. One of my favorite games I've played so far. Good job!
