Gameplay:

The gameplay of Trash N Play revolves around two main modes: Collecting mode and Building mode. The game is designed to be completed in approximately 20 minutes.

Collecting mode:

In this mode, players take control of a vehicle and navigate around the town to collect various waste items. The types of waste items include organic waste, plastic, glass, metal, and paper.

The mode begins with a "tutorial" where players find themselves in a theme park that is full of trash. They must collect trash on the park grounds to unlock the Building mode.

Players can view their collected waste items in the inventory.

Building mode:

Once players have collected enough waste items, they can enter the Building mode. In this mode, players have a top-down view and must recycle the collected items to obtain resources for building the theme park. They can place rides such as a Ferris-wheel, Water-ride, Bumper-car, Fence, and more to design their own theme park. Players can switch between the Collecting mode and Building mode to continue collecting waste and building their park. To successfully complete the game, players must construct all the required rides.
