Garbage Hero

An endless sorting arcade game: catch falling trash, drop it in the right bin and steer clear of hazardous waste.

Trash falls from the sky: organic, plastic, glass, paper and metal. You sort each piece into the right bin fast, and avoid the hazardous waste. A high score unlocks new items, bins and lives. It launched in May 2015 on the App Store, Google Play and the Amazon Appstore.
