Stars in the Trash is not the game to play to finish. It is an experience to have and let is consume you with everything it has in store. Sometime the pacing goes out of place, yet the overall experience it gives is something magical.

Stars In The Trash is an experience that all pet lovers should try. Besides the hand-drawn animations, this title is incredibly heartfelt but ends way too fast.

Stars in the Trash is a heartwarming and incredibly sweet game that, in some scenes, moves you emotionally, while in others, brings a smile to your face. I just wish it were longer.

Stars in the Trash is a wonderful game, and as I mentioned, a piece of art in its own right. You start off feeling like, “Oh, this is fun, I’m a cat knocking things over,” but as you progress, you get deeper and deeper into this mindset that you feel like you know exactly what this cat is feeling and thinking. I very rarely find a game that makes me stop and think every few moments about what it’s like for animals out on the streets, and I have a lot of appreciation for Valhalla Cats for their work in bringing much-needed funding to animal shelters. In conclusion, get this game, play it, enjoy it, and remember to donate to your local shelters.

Whilst it may have taken a little while and a couple of patches to get my review out. Stars In The Trash was always on my mind as a game I enjoyed. From the nostalgic graphics to the incredible animations, Valhalla Cats have hit the jackpot with this one. I just hope that they keep doing this sort of game and bring us more cats. Stars In The Trash receives the Thumb Culture Platinum Award.

Stars in the Trash is a great game. It controls well, it has a fantastic art style, and it has good music. On top of that, the story is gripping and emotional, and it all comes together in one nice package. Unfortunately, the game has some issues, namely plot inconsistencies, price, and length. That said, I think these issues are minor and don’t hinder the game too much. If you’re willing to shell out the $12 the game costs, I highly suggest checking it out. It’s a fun, short story that I believe everyone can find enjoyment in.

Anyone who enjoys animals will enjoy Stars in the Trash because it has so many details, including exquisite artwork and meticulous attention to detail. Stars in the Trash is like watching a Disney film, and it feels even more like that now that we’ve finished playing it.

The animations in Stars in the trash are really well done and are reminiscent of the old cartoons of yesteryear. A cute adventure game, which is unfortunately played through far too quickly.

Though it could use a bit more polish, Stars in the Trash is a beautifully crafted game showcasing a love for old-school animation and pets. It’s an easy choice for fans of both.

Overall, I had tons of fun with Stars in the Trash. If you like things like the Aristocats or The Fox and the Hound, I think you will love this game. There are so many details, such as beautiful art and loving care and taking in every detail, that I think anyone who loves animals will dig this game. As I said in my preview of the Stars in the Trash demo, it feels like playing a Disney movie. Now that I’ve played the whole thing, it feels even more like that. I love this game a lot, and I think most of you will love it too.
