INTRODUCTION:
Andrés is an old trashman, who has a lot of experience in the job, he has a contract in the public cleaning company, where he has worked for years. The country suffered a horrible economic crisis and the town hall had to sell the cleaning service to a private company.

This meant that the working conditions will change. His salary will decrease and the same will happen with his extras payments.

Now Andrés cannot pay all his expenses because they are more money than what he earns. He needs extra jobs so that he can earns more money, even if it´s just the coins left in the park, to be able to make ends meet.

REVIEW:
You have to pick up the bins, which are numbered, in the correct order and take them to the lorry. When emptied take them back and place them where you took them. When the last bin on each level has been emptied and put back, you have to get to the back of the lorry, and off you go to the next level.

This is the main object of the game, but it is not enough to complete the game. Your problem is that you earn 1000$ every month, but you need 1140$ to pay your bills. You need to make 140$ by finding wallets in parks, on paths, bus stops and that sort of places. But this is not enough – you also need to earn money by helping people you meet with solving some problems. To be able to finish the game you need to get all the extra money.

You have limited time and this does not get refilled when completing a level, but you can refill it by helping the people that pop up in the doors in the houses (There is some references to other ZX Spectrum games and Youtube channels here).

The game has five levels and except for the first one, that is a one screen level that is kind of an introduction to the game, each level consists of two screens – one with the lorry and a lot of traffic, and one with houses, paths and bins. You have to bring every bin to the lorry and all vehicles and people here has to be avoided. On the other screen the dogs and the grass is your enemies. You have to walk very precisely on the paths, if a pixel from your head, arms or shoes comes out in the grass area the neighbors will protest and your time will decrease quickly as long as you are in the grass. If the dog gets to you, you will lose a life immediately.

It is not easy to make a follow up to Trashman, but this is a bit different and it actually plays well. Like in the original game you can only move in four directions (no diagonals), and the grass sensitivity is off course made for adding difficulty. The graphics is nice and colorful and the in game music is, depending on if you are on screen one or two, changing between two very cool pieces of music made by Javier Parra. It is just a shame the game looks very messy because everything that moves is constantly changing between black and white in color, this was not an issue in the original 1984 game. With a few adjustments this issue could be removed and it would be a great looking and much more enjoyable game.

The game was made by Antonio Román (Nono) in 2020.
