Trashy Cashy tasks you with building a trash-trading empire through incremental optimization—finding, processing, and selling refuse for profit. As your wealth multiplies through automation and upgrades, an underlying narrative about a mysterious companion unfolds, adding emotional weight to the familiar loop of earning and prestige that incremental fans expect.

About this game

What players are saying

▼ Not recommended 1 hrs
Really enjoyed the demo and I understand why the pace is a bit slower in the full game, but this is glacially slow. I also expected that the game had more to offer than I saw in the demo, but the additional upgrades are just more of the same lacklustre ‘add 0.5% chance for rates’ etc.

Admittedly there could be more to see beyond the first few robotics upgrades but I’m not entertained enough or seeing enough progression to keep playing.

I am pretty bummed out.

I came to this title from playing the demo the night before the full title released. The demo was alright, I didn't play all it had to offer but I felt it was enough to assess it. I was wrong. The demo strikes me as being blatant misrepresentation, I feel like I was used for a measly $5. It's $5 though, this is a meaningless amount of money. It still feels dirty and that is unfortunately the lens my review is seen through.

From the moment the first trash bag hit the table and I made my first cut things felt bad. I don't remember being frustrated at the amount of material excised with each cut right at the start in the demo, I do remember how the cutting felt when I was done with demo. I was repelled, I'm already playing an incrementalish game about rooting around in trash. Now it also feels like trash to me. I alt+f4ed the title. I noped out in under a minute of stabbing at my first bag.

I returned shortly, probably 30 minutes later, after considering that I probably was just yearning for the way it felt the prior night in the demo. I thought, quaintly, ah I'll just lament that the demo save data didn't transfer when I leave a review. I understand now that demo progress could not possibly have transferred. Regardless, I returned. I cut up quite a lot of bag to get the precious trash inside. I will now sell it to begin incrementally improving. I alt+f4ed again. Selling is so critically and agonizingly slow in the launch title versus the demo. The vitriol it made me feel over the immense lie that was the demo.

This time though I immediately knew I had to return and resume, it's incremental in nature. The selling trash experience is easily and quickly remedied. You just need to know to emphasize that. I quit at recycling/crafting because it was exhaustingly slow, I had enough of a negative attitude towards the title at this point I needed to call it. That recycle speed sure probably can be remedied though. Every single thing I've grumbled about here is quickly and easily remedied. You don't even need a remedy if you just never played the demo. So on to a "review" for people who didn't play the demo.

This seems pretty alright. It has nested systems, numbers go up! Trash being in the bag above the knot is kind of annoying. That's not how garbage bags work and it's also kind of hard to cut that part of the bag in the game. This is a non-issue, numbers go up! Have fun but please don't root in actual trash unless you threw something needed in your own trash, of course!

I was really excited for this game after playing the demo, but it was absolutely not worth it. Hardly even 5 minutes of actual content in the whole final release. Feels like a blatant ripoff and waste of my time.

Trash Rush Beta Is Live - 30-Minute Runs Are Now in the Game!

39 days ago
Trash Rush is a beta mode. We are collecting feedback and will tune, rebalance, or expand it if players enjoy the mode.- The run lasts for 30 minutes.- There is no story, phone calls, or business secrets.- You score points whenever you earn income. At the end of the run, compare your score with your personal best. Your best score is also stored in the Steam leaderboard.- Skill tree nodes unlock automatically when your accumulated score reaches the next threshold.- Taking a skill reveals two random reachable nodes connected to any skill you already own. If the new node has no children, it will not reveal more options. You cannot pick freely from the full tree like in the main game, so adapt to the situation and use your choices to shape it.- You always have two tasks: find a requested item, and craft rare materials. The item reward is paid when you find that item for the first time; after every item from every package is unlocked, the task asks for a rare version instead.- Packages improve faster: every completed package work cycle gives that package a new level. Packages also have a Value level. Raise Loot and Value levels to make trash from that package sell for more.We’d love to hear what you think about the new mode. Have fun!
