About the game
Big Scoop: Trash Cleaning Simulator is an incremental boat game for one to four players. Scoop up the trash floating on the sea, sell it at port and upgrade your boat, from a 3.6 m skiff to a 70 m Megascoop that swallows islands of plastic in one bite. Recruit captains until more than 40 boats sail with you, turn your port into a town, and lend a hand along the way: a turtle caught in a net, a wreck that needs a tow, a castaway drifting on a life ring. Zone by zone, the water turns turquoise again and the wildlife comes back. Clearing the whole sea takes about 2 hours 15 minutes, then free play goes on.
What you do
From Skiff to Megascoop
Your hull grows from 3.6 m to 70 m, and the camera pulls back to keep up. The trash grows too: bottles and cans give way to tyres, fridges and shipping containers, then whole islands of plastic that your last boat swallows in one bite. Upgrade the engine, scoop, hold, magnet and turbo of each hull, and pick one of eight paint schemes at the shipyard.
A fleet you can see
Recruit captains, each with their own face, name and trait. Their boats scoop up trash alongside you, head back to sell and set out again on their own. By the end, more than 40 boats criss-cross the sea with you.
From port to town
Every load you sell is sorted into plastic, metal or rubber. Those materials build up your town: a sorting centre, factories, a foundry, a boatyard and a harbour master’s office with its cargo ships. Offshore outposts let you sell and upgrade without heading back to port.
A crew of four
Invite up to three Steam friends to a bigger sea built for your crew. Each of you steers your own boat in your own paint scheme, and you share the money, the fleet and the town. Hulls bump, and your horn makes sure everyone hears you coming.
The sea comes back to life
A cleaner sea is your progress bar. Zone by zone, the water turns from brown to turquoise, the sky clears and the wildlife returns: turtles, dolphins, manta rays, seals, orcas, whales. Each species you meet joins your bestiary and gives you a bonus for the rest of the game.
