Everything is Garbage

About

Run a chaotic factory where trash fuels progress. In Everything is Garbage, you manage a large network of garbage-powered machines to build motels, monuments, and the mysterious Obelisk of Startups. The game mixes rapid resource management with a funky musical score, requiring timing and planning to keep operations running. Developed by Free Lives, the team behind Overcooked, this PC simulator challenges players to balance absurd production chains in a world where waste is the only resource. The frantic 72-hour development background shows in the game’s frenetic energy and half-baked charm. The humor and creativity in repurposing trash shine through its simple mechanics. While the learning curve can feel steep, the game’s quirky personality and rhythmic gameplay set it apart. Community feedback on Ludum Dare gives it an 8.3/10, praising its originality despite rough edges. The challenge lies in connecting garbage crushers, sorters, and assemblers without everything collapsing. It’s a short but punchy experience that rewards experimentation. Fans of Overcooked’s chaos might find this a quirky, if less polished, side project.
