Gameplay Pillars

Jump and Collect Trash

The main objective of Trasher is to collect as much trash as he can present in a procedural generation map.

He can stay on the ground or jump on platforms.

Higher platforms have better trash.

Avoid Overheat and Obstacles

Every time Trasher jumps, he overheats himself.

Be careful or he will EXPLODE!

Jump on enemies to reduce his overheating level and avoid dying.

It is essential to avoid also the holes in the ground

Collect and Upgrade

For every piece of trash the main character collects, the player will receive a different amount of gear to use in the store.

Gears can be used to upgrade Trasher abilities and power-ups or to make it prettier with beautiful skins

Project overview

The game is a Team Project done during the DBGA Online Blended Course developed by the Qizue Team, a group composed of 3 game designers (including me) and 1 game programmer to create a hypercasual game.
This game has been made in 3 months of hard work and by going through all the steps of the game's development.
