Trash Panic

Trash Panic (ゴミ箱 Gomibako?) is a puzzle video game for the PlayStation 3 developed by SCEJ. It was released in Japan on March 19, 2009 on the PlayStation Network download service, and has been compared to Tetris in terms of gameplay, though the object of the game is to compact items of garbage, not remove rows of blocks.

A spring 2009 release for both Europe and North America was announced in conjunction with an Earth Day promotion in the PlayStation Store. Though Europe was afterward given an official release date of May 28, 2009, only a preview trailer for the game was released as a part of the PlayStation Store Update for both the NA and EU regions on that date.
Taking the puzzle video game genre one step further, Trash Panic is the newest PS3 downloadable exclusive that tasks players to compact as much garbage into a trash can before it overflows, and in the most eco-friendly way as possible. Throughout each stage, random trash items will be delivered via crane to players who can then manipulate the speed and direction they fall using the DualShock 3 controller. The trash can will quickly reach full capacity unless the trash is broken down or dealt with by strategically using various elements given throughout each stage. Items will continue to be dropped until the player successfully compacts a certain number of items or ends up with an overflowing trash can. Each level will also feature a giant Boss item that players need to destroy in a certain amount of time to avoid getting penalized. At the end of each stage, each player will be rated by how eco-friendly or ego-friendly each stage was completed. The more eco-friendly, the higher the rating. Ratings help in unlocking various levels and modes. Spread across three different game modes, Trash Panic offers fun gaming for everyone. The Main Mode will take players progressively through six stages that increase in difficulty the further you advance. Vs. Mode allows two players to battle one another on the same screen. And lastly, Mission Mode offers mini-games for those who want to further their fun with a variety of waste management missions. Trash Panic also offers ways for players to show off their skills with trophy support and online learderboards. Additionally, players will have a recording option to upload up to 10 minutes of a gaming session onto YouTube to share with the rest of the world!
