Controls
Menu: Z to start game.
Game: Left-click on trucks to move in the direction the truck is facing. Right-click on trucks to rotate them.
Game over: Z to restart.
Mechanics
Each level ends when you have used the trucks to collect every piece of rubbish. Click on a truck to move it in the direction it's facing. It will stop when it hits the edge of the screen, or another truck.
Commentary
Puzzle design is super difficult. But this game was a lot of fun to make! Designing the trucks and the rubbish kept me interested over the month, then in the last few days I finally figured out where I was going with it. I bumped over into November because of a number of commitments and other noisy stuff, but I'm very happy with how it came out. Maybe I will make more levels eventually? I'm sorry if it's very boring to people who do lots of puzzles!

Needs a bit of work. If the truck is in a corner and you tap on him, the number of moves increases greatly.
Also RIGHT-CLICK is not friendly game key for most internet browsers. Going full-screen the mouse pointer seems trapped in the top-left-hand corner for Firefox.
Suggest you make it a key like (O) for last selected truck. Either that or create a selector with arrow keys and use (O) and (X) normally.
@dw817 Thanks for the feedback! You're right, I forgot how right-click would not be too usable in browsers. :/
Dunno about the Firefox mouse compatibility, that is probably not something I can fix. I can confirm it happens for me as well, though. Probably I should just stop using unsupported features, to be fair!
I had a keys-based selector implemented, and then took it out because it was too confusing to explain two ways to do everything. But I can put it back pretty easily. Perhaps if I have time in the next few weeks.
Thanks again for playing!
This was a cool little puzzle game! I'd love to know what's considered "par" for each level... 50 moves is fine, right? Yeah, it's probably fine.
@nextlevelbanana I think I got the last ones in <15 but to be fair I did design them. :D Hope you enjoyed it! Thanks for playing!
