You've always had a dream about making the world into a better place, but it just seems like nobody really cares. Finally becoming fed up with it, you decide to go and take matters in your own hands - sort it on your own.

A better place is a puzzle game, where the player's goal is to sort different types of trash into the according bins before the garbage piles become unmanageable. As time goes by and days pass, the dump trucks start bringing garbage faster and faster. Once the day comes to an end, which is represented by a countdown timer, the bins get emptied. That is, apart from incorrectly sorted garbage, which stays in the bin until the end of the game as a punishment - also incorporating this autumn's theme "Limited space".  :)

We would like to encourage you to try to use the crane often, as it makes the game more challenging and also gives way more points!

There is currently a bug when you retry the game that some mechanics don’t work or the game might even crash. Maybe just restart the game if you wanna try again, but we are fixing this asap!

A short albeit enjoyable experience. One thing I think would be interesting to add would be factoids about the waste disposal industry between days. Would add some educational value and would help with the pacing. :)

Thank you! Definitely taking your feedback into consideration for the next patch :)
