(The only exception is the game's 'bosses', which are in fact large objects - a 108-inch LCD, a truck, a big fat piggy bank - that you need to crush up good within ten seconds, a sufficiently reasonable length of time.) So yes, this is a s-l-o-w puzzle game, but it's better for it. There's no time limit on this and there's not even anything to gain from rushing when your bin is full to the brim: Gomibako nearly always promotes strategy over speed. Objects are brought into play via magnetised clamps on an industrial conveyor belt, but never at any great pace and even as they gradually fall into your bin, there remains an option to hold R2 and close the lid for a break from play. That means you have to pay attention to what the items are, not merely their shape and size. Yes, you have to drop shapes (rubbish shapes) into a depository (a bin-shaped skip), but Gomibako emphasises the arts of composting, incineration and explosive-powered trash obliteration - Tetris-style line formations and Puyo Puyo colour-matching are not part of this program. What's for dessert?" But the game is nothing of the sort. My initial thoughts when playing Gomibako at last year's TGS were: "Oh aye, a junk-themed Tetris? Very clever, that. There's nothing quite like the smell of burning rubbish. 2) Crush or otherwise destroy everything you do throw out until it's a fine puree, in order to save bin space. The basic principles here are: 1) Do not dispose of stuff that you really should keep. Gomibako (literally 'rubbish bin') takes its eco-massaging almost as seriously as Real Japan does, only in different ways - and with a trimmed instruction manual that spans just 21 static screens, thanks. And no, I can't just sneakily put everything out together: What would the neighbours think? How long would the friendly concierge remain friendly? Besides, the city council generously supplies its citizens with a 40-page pamphlet that explains in unnecessary detail every possible rubbish-related faux pas. Every week I have to separate my empty plastic bottles from their very wrappers and caps, because they're not to be thrown out together - and that's before I sort my plastic from glass, glass from metal, food waste from non-food waste, and flicked-through copies of Famitsu from everything else (because paper has to go out unaccompanied, on Thursdays).
