Under $5, but...

You can't turn the music off!
This would easily be recommended to anyone if you could turn the atrocious music off. Normally, that's not a big deal, but the music in this game is right up there with the worst that I have ever heard. No kidding!
Loud, Obnoxious, Mind-Numbing, Constant, Terrible, Ear-Splitting...
I could go on and on with how incredibly bad it is, but I think you get the picture.

As far as the gameplay goes: it's pretty darn good. One thing that I would definitely recommend is a SAVE feature. That would make things much easier. That definitely gets a solid 4 stars.

Before buying, one reminder... YOU CANNOT TURN THE MUSIC OFF!!!
Developers.... Fix This Please!!!! Patch, anyone?
It's amazing how BGM can ruin a perfectly good/great game. I wouldn't even mind if you could just turn it down a little a keep the sound effects up. By a little I mean all the way down ;) Seriously, It's really that bad.

Great game for $4.99!!

by shaytoon21 Aug 2, 2009, 10:02 AM PDT

tried the demo, figured itd be worth it if its under $10 and it was :)
really fun addicting puzzler, hard as heck if you cant get everything to burn/decompose in order. gets very tricky but worth checking out and playing if you love puzzlers.

reason why i gave 3 stars is due to following cons:
you have to start all over if you exit the game, no save feature which SUCKS..developer needs to fix this asap with a patch as well as other annoyances...loading takes forever?? for a dlc it shouldnt take this long between loading levels, almost feels like im playing a ps2 game waiting, waiting, waiting...
there needs to be an option menu to turn music off, the same song is driving me crazy
multiplayer needs more oomph
also, this one is important..those black alien dudes, they need to fixed when placing the mottanai down..they usually place it right in front of the garbage meter and you cant tell how much more is left???

anyway, would love to see bugs fixed and improved, this one has potential to stick around for awhile.

I really can't work this out?!

by jeffp72 Jun 18, 2009, 4:50 AM PDT

Looks great, but I can't find any instructions or tutorials on the main screen! I really don't get this, could someone please explain how to play and the controls to use. I've worked out how to rotate trash and smash it down. I've worked out that you can "hold" objects using L1 or L2 (can't remember!) and the other L button closes the lid. What are you meant to do with the Mannai (can't remember spelling), I swap it out to hold and nothing happens are you mean't to give it to the little creatures and how? if you smash the Mannai, loads of trash appears and it's practically game over. You must have to do something with this as you can only hold one item, and other "Mannai" appear on the conveyor belt to be dealt with. Once on one of the missions I had a fire going in the trash can, but cannot work out or recreate how I did this, please advise - I want to love this game, but at the moment it's sooooo frustrating!!! Like I mentioned before, which controls are meant to be used to do what?!?!

Many thanks in advance!!!



2 days later - I've found instructions "of sort" on the main page. Has kind of explained that you need to leave the "Mannai" near where the little creature can reach it in order to get flames etc. That makes more sense now!!! Just not very clear!!!

Simple & Addictive!

by cheo6988 Jun 12, 2009, 8:15 PM PDT

I love that we have regressed back to simple, mind-numbing games that allow you to escape your stress by concentrating on the best way to stack and blow up giant propane tanks. This game can be VERY frustrating, but that's what keeps you playing. There isn't too much to concentrate on. It's just a matter of finding the best way to dispose of whatever crap they throw at you. It's awesome. A really great way to unwind after a long day.
