“Please refer to the About This section of the store page for Wheelie Bin Bash.
Further, Wheelie Bin Bash can be played to completion across all stages, and save data is created to track status of runs, high scores, and unlockables.
Anticipated some enemy behavior anomalies and some bugs concerning cutscenes. Nothing has been shown to be game-breaking.”

About This Game

Control of the government, the media, and the police forces have been seized. Civilians are dragged from their homes. Riot squads patrol the streets. Water cannons trash anyone who resists. However, three citizens have had enough. Armed with fists, plenty to drink, and a nation's worth of wheelie bins, they're cleaning up the streets one piece of trash at a time.

Wheelie Bin Bash is a side-scrolling beat 'em up, utilizing code-based, procedural pixel art, a genre-spanning soundtrack, and a British sense of dark comedy. Seven grueling stages, and they'll bring back peace to all the rubbish goings on.

Rack up combos, hurl bins at corrupt coppers, smash through police walls, and commandeer the TWBT-01 Tactical Waste Unit for maximum municipal carnage. Feel good about recycling. Take out the trash. Do your part!

👊 Deep combo system

Four-hit melee combos, jump kicks, dashes, grabs, pummels, directional throws, the deadly suplex, and the devastating wheelie bin energy blasts. Chain hits into 50-hit combos and beyond to stack your score.

♻️ Revolutionary recycling mechanic

Pick up bins. Hurl bins. Overhead-slam bins. Commandeer the TWBT-01 Tactical Waste Unit. Feel good about recycling. Do your part.

🎵 Genre-spanning soundtrack

From folk to jazz, synth-dance to metal, and even some British punk. A custom score that shifts tone with every stage and moment.

🥔 Will run on a potato*

Keyboard and gamepad with input rebinding. Minimal system requirements. You have no excuses not to do your part to clean the rot in your town.

🛡️ Enemy variety and boss fights

Bobbies, Desk Sergeants, shield-wielding Riot police in formation, charging Armored Units, and escalating boss encounters. Shield-bash attacks, riot lines, and an AI that adapts.

🏪 Shop at the Chippy

Spend your score at the chippy for restorative needs. Refuel, restock, and get back out there. Remember, honey: this is a war, not a battle. You can't win a war on an empty stomach.

*: Won't run on a literal potato, but darned near it.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

This game's early development utilized local AI systems for generating initial ideas and imagery surrounding the stage layouts and the initial musical passages, then further edited manually through various pieces of software (Art software and DAWs + numerous VSTs).
