About A Trashy Love Story Game

Two arrow keys, a plastic bag and someone to get back to. A Trashy Love Story makes a platform game out of that small collection of things. Oddgoo built twenty-five levels, added unlockables and time rankings, and dedicated the result to his girlfriend. The bag’s search is sweet; the obstacles are considerably less forgiving.

Left and Right are the entire published control list. There is no extra key to discover when a passage seems impossible. The developer’s advice about horizontal air currents is to arrive with momentum. In other words, look a little further back in the route: the mistake may have happened before the place where you finally hit something.

Take a crossing that almost worked and try it again with one small change. Start the adjustment earlier, or hold it for less time. You need a result you can compare with the previous attempt. If you change every input at once, a lucky escape tells you very little about how to make that crossing a second time. Leave the quick finish for later; first find a way through that you understand.

How to Play A Trashy Love Story Game

Guide the plastic bag through the stages on its search to be reunited with its darling.

  1. Read the scene before moving. Identify the next obstacle and the space available beyond it.
  2. Use the left and right arrows to guide the bag. Learn its response with short adjustments before attempting a long route.
  3. Watch how currents and obstacles affect the approach. Give yourself room to build the momentum needed for a crossing.
  4. After a failed attempt, change one part of the approach. Work on finishing reliably before chasing a quicker time.

Tips for a better round

  • Treat the approach and the crossing as one problem. A current can stop a bag that reached it without enough momentum.
  • When you clear a troublesome section, remember how you entered it. That is more useful on the next attempt than remembering only the last tap.
