Review

Stars In The Trash presents a quirky charm with its unique art style and thoughtful puzzles that encourage players to engage with environmental concepts. While the initial experience is refreshing and creative, the gameplay begins to wear thin as repetition kicks in, making it lose some of its initial allure. Additionally, the minimal character development keeps players at a distance from the storyline, which could have deeply enriched their gameplay experience. Technical imperfections, particularly with the controls, can also detract from the overall enjoyment. It’s a commendable title with strong messaging, but it stumbles in execution and depth.

Background information

Reviewers have noted that while Stars In The Trash shines in its artistic aesthetic and thematic undertones of sustainability, it struggles to maintain engagement over extended play due to repetitive mechanics. The game's potential has been recognized, but issues with control responsiveness have been highlighted, indicating that it may need further refinement to compete with more polished titles.
