About
"Trash Quest" is a metroidvania-style game set on a space station overrun by a raccoon. With zero checkpoints, players must navigate through an interconnected maze, destroying robots and collecting power-ups. Progress saves automatically, allowing you to keep any unlocked abilities or shortcuts upon death, creating a challenging yet rewarding experience.





- The game features tight controls and enjoyable platforming, making for a fun and engaging experience.
- It offers a unique single spawn point mechanic that adds to the challenge without being overly punishing.
- The game is a great value for its price, providing a compact metroidvania experience with replayability through optional challenges and upgrades.
- The difficulty spikes significantly in later levels, with some platforming sections requiring near-perfect precision, which can be frustrating.
- The game lacks sufficient checkpoints, leading to tedious backtracking after deaths, which can diminish enjoyment.
- The ending feels abrupt and anti-climactic, lacking the build-up typically found in metroidvania games.
