Trash Quest
The crew of the space station Deliverance has just settled into their cryopods in preparation for the long journey to Tau Ceti.
The AI has been activated, and is running a cursory systems check.
Engines: fine.
Navigation: fine.
Unexpected lifeforms: …
one.
A lifeform that doesn’t care about the mission. A lifeform that doesn’t care about the sophisticated defence systems. A lifeform that only cares about getting its grubby hands on the station’s trash.
A raccoon.
Trash Quest is a compact metroidvania with zero checkpoints, run and gun action and tight platforming.
Navigate an interwoven maze of rooms through this space station destroying robots, collecting power ups and unlocking shortcuts.
A metroidvania with no checkpoints?
Progress in Trash Quest saves automatically, and the level is tightly packed around one single spawn location. Each time you die you’ll be sent back to that one spot in the middle, but any powerups, abilities, or shortcuts you’ve unlocked remain.

There is a lot of content for just $3. The boss rush is also very fun but hard!!!

Excellent little microvania. Some tricky platforming and a novel jetpack ability were the highlights. Music is catchy too. Looking forward to the sequel. *Edit after checking out the dlc* I appreciate that the update was free...but the dlc is certainly not for me. Takes away from the experience as I'm not so found of precision platforming trial and error gameplay or boss rush.

Quick, fun mini-metroidvania. It's difficult in places but not unapproachable, though I did find myself getting frustrated in the bonus/DLC area having to backtrack upon death. There are plenty of shortcuts to open at least. Controls are pretty tight even though the default layout isn't what I prefer. For only $3, I got a good hour or two out of it.

This game is very much its description: "compact metroidvania with a single spawn point, run and gun action and tight platforming". I enjoyed working my way towards the credits. Fun little experience!
Note: I've play it for more than the hrs on record, as I mostly played it offline on my Steam Deck.

Very fun game to spend a few hours on. Totally worth playing.
Although I have to say it kinda loses its charm in the second part where it stops being a metroidvania and becomes a hardcore platformer.

This game made me break a controller, but it has a raccoon so 10/10
