Our take on Garbage Growth

The defining loop turns pollution into progression: adding people creates more trash, which produces money for further growth.

What is Garbage Growth?

Collect people's trash, including bananas and babies, to make money while increasing pollution.

Add more people so they throw more trash, then expand the collection loop. Hire rats when collecting becomes tedious, and spend money on skills through a skill tree. Garbage Growth is a short incremental game about making money from trash while making the world more polluted.

How Garbage Growth plays

02Pollution Growth
