Absurd in all the right ways. Took about 1 hour to get all achievements. Runs fine on Steam Deck. I'm looking forward to the future updates the dev mentions in the credits!

Solid little game. Takes about an hour to 100%. Dev said he was going to be adding more so I'll probably play it again when there is more to do. As it is now it is a little steep for the price IMO but that's really my only complaint.

I really enjoyed Garbage Growth from start to finish, it's a light and fun incremental idler with some lovely 8bit retro graphics and is absolutely CHAOTIC! I love how over the top and weird this game gets, it throws some of the most random upgrades out there from GUM to TITANIC showing up and WHALES! and all sorts of whacky things and I love it! The gameplay was not too grindy or boring and kept me engaged enough to be interested and the systems were not to over the top and the achievements were fair! Game can be 100%'d in just over an hour, very fun game, dev seems passionate! pick it up :)
