Step into the role of a city garbage collector and face the hidden dangers lurking in the streets. Viewed from a top-down, isometric perspective, the game challenges you to collect, transport, and safely dispose of waste across multiple urban neighbourhoods.

<h2 class="bb_tag" >WASTE RUNNER: CRITICAL WASTE</h2>What starts with harmless trash—black bags, plastic bottles, cardboard, and urban debris—quickly escalates into high-risk materials. As you progress through the levels, you'll encounter toxic chemicals and radioactive waste that slowly drain your energy and threaten your survival if you carry them for too long. Every decision matters: push your limits to collect more or rush to the nearest bin before your load becomes deadly.Managing your battery is equally crucial. Charging stations are scattered throughout the city, forcing you to plan efficient routes, balancing speed, capacity, and risk. The heavier your load, the slower you'll move, turning every trip into a tense race against time.<img class="bb_img" src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/4346360/extras/8e55f24cc533c7f46dd1554a61292e85.avif?t=1772289175" width=1151 height=791 /><h2 class="bb_tag" >CORE GAMEPLAY</h2><ul class="bb_ul"><li>Drive a waste-collection robot through dense urban levels</li><li>Collect, transport, and unload garbage into designated disposal zones</li><li>Manage limited cargo capacity using a trailer system</li><li>Avoid hazards such as restricted areas, environmental barriers, and moving obstacles</li><li>Complete objectives under time pressure</li><li>Optimize routes to improve efficiency and performance</li></ul><h2 class="bb_tag" >FEATURES INCLUDED</h2><ul class="bb_ul"><li>Playable content with 1 handcrafted level</li><li>Top-down/isometric camera for clear tactical navigation</li><li>Physics-based trailer and cargo system that affects movement</li><li>Environmental challenges that require positioning and timing</li><li>Score and performance evaluation based on efficiency</li><li>Stylized industrial world with a dystopian, polluted theme</li><li>Keyboard and controller support</li></ul><h2 class="bb_tag" >WHAT YOU GET</h2>Level 1 Suburb Streets: A quiet neighbourhood collects only papers, boxes, plastic bags, and bottles.
