Trash Rocket

'Trash Rocket', a 48 hour solo game jam developed during the GMTK Game Jam 2021, about joining together nearby trash to power a spaceship.

You command a crew of space cowboys who find themselves without enough fuel to return home. Dispatch workers cross an infinite procedurally generated galaxy to lasso trash for spare parts while you protect your vessel from oncoming threats.

Can you refuel your ship and get back home?

---

Mission:

Fill up the fuel gauge by collecting trash.

Characters:

> S.S. Junk Wagon: your not-so-trusty ship, but a darn good magnet. Anything you stick to it becomes part of the vessel, but it's powerful magnetism also attracts meteors.

> Special: Press SPACE/MIDDLE CLICK to rally the entire crew back together.

> Cons: Can only move if you have fuel, consumes fuel with each click.

> Captain Deputy Sheriff (YOU): bodyguard and ambiguously ranked leader of the Junk Wagon's crew. Not much for words but boy do you love clicking things and giving orders.

> Special: Press SPACE/MIDDLE CLICK to shoot a laser that can destroy meteors.

> Cons: No lasso/cannot collect trash.

> Space Cowboy: just yer regular ol' junk wrangler. Nothing they love more than taking orders and being clicked on.

> Special: Press RIGHT CLICK/F to lead them to junk so they can lasso it to the S.S. Junk Wagon.

> Cons: Nothing.
