Plastics, Please

Polished Build is the final version of the game.

Changelog for polished version

• Added an Item Guide, so all all items are shown their categories.
• Items no longer drop off the rail.

UI optimized for 1080 HD monitors. 

Created for the “one-time use” jam as part of Games Jobs Live Games Parade Summer 2021. 

We could have gone a bunch of different ways with this theme, but we settled on a game that revolves around single-use plastics and that makes an environmental statement.

You play as a small town factory worker volunteering at the local recycling plant over the course of a week. It is your job to sort incoming recycle-able items from the single-use plastics and other trash coming down the conveyor belt. 

At the start of every day, you will receive a memo from your manager, explaining a little bit about the shipment of trash that players will need to sort through, including what to look out for over the course of the day, and which items to separate.
