    The crew of the space station Deliverance has just settled into their cryopods in preparation for the long journey to Tau Ceti.

    The AI has been activated, and is running a cursory systems check.

    Engines: fine.
    Navigation: fine.
    Unexpected lifeforms: ...
    one.

    A lifeform that doesn't care about the mission. A lifeform that doesn't care about the sophisticated defence systems. A lifeform that only cares about getting its grubby hands on the station's trash.

    A raccoon.

    Trash Quest is a compact metroidvania with zero checkpoints, run and gun action and tight platforming.

    Navigate an interwoven maze of rooms through this space station destroying robots, collecting power ups and unlocking shortcuts.

    Much shorter than most metroidvanias, Trash Quest manages to take advantage on every moment of its brevity and minimalism to deliver a polished, fun, and aesthetically pleasing experience. The platforming action wastes no time and challenges us with its efficient cyclical structure, resulting in a game that feels like a draft of something greater, but that is in itself well worth a good afternoon's play.
