How to play:

This game can be played with either a keyboard and mouse or with a game controller!

You must carry tiles and put them together to recycle them into resources. The specific way to regroup them is described in a little frame in the up-right corner of the screen as you carry a tile. The first few tiles all need to be lined up vertically or horizontally in 4s for example, but the batteries need to be lined up in 3s and only in diagonals. From there each new type has its own special rules.

Once you have gathered a few resources, you can bring up the construction menu and build new tiles, such as upgrade capsules or defensive turrets. More options will appear as you gather new resource types.

After some time, other scavengers will start coming to steal your trash tiles. If you let them run back with a tile, you will lose a health point. Alternatively, if you let your trash pile accumulate to the red laser, you will also lose a health point. You start with 3 health points. It's gameover when you have 0. Health points are displayed at the bottom-center of the screen, as a segmented battery icon.
