From Game Jam to Full Mobile Game

Trash ’n’ Tail: Raccoon Bandit started as a small prototype during a game jam. Players loved it so much that it quickly ranked in the top 1% of the most played jam games. That incredible feedback inspired us to start from scratch and build a full 3D mobile game around the idea.

Listening to Player Feedback

Your feedback was the spark that shaped the future of this game. Based on what players loved (and wanted to see improved), we went back to the drawing board and rebuilt Trash ’n’ Tail: Raccoon Bandit from scratch. Here’s what we added and improved:

  • New Power-Ups: More variety, more chaos, and more fun.
  • Multiplayer Mode: Challenge your friends or strangers, even across iOS and Android.
  • Reworked Mechanics: Smoother controls, tighter gameplay, and more ways to master the trash trail.
  • More Features: Achievements, leaderboards, crossplay, and content updates planned after launch.

What Is Trash ’n’ Tail: Raccoon Bandit?

Trash ’n’ Tail: Raccoon Bandit is a 3D snake-like arcade adventure where you become a mischievous raccoon on a mission to collect junk and grow the longest trash tail possible. As you race through an endless spherical world, every piece of garbage you grab makes your tail longer and every twist and turn makes survival trickier.

It’s not just about collecting, though. You’ll need to dodge your own looping trail, avoid obstacles like trees, bushes, and rival raccoons, and use powerful boosts such as Super Raccoon or Litter Bomb to gain the upper hand.

Play solo for high scores and achievements, or dive into multiplayer chaos where you can challenge friends and raccoon rivals from around the world. Whether you’re chasing the leaderboard crown or just enjoying quick, casual runs, Trash ’n’ Tail: Raccoon Bandit is easy to pick up, packed with surprises, and endlessly fun to master.

What’s Next

We’re still in active development, but our goal is clear: deliver a fun, free-to-play mobile game that’s easy to pick up, full of surprises, and always growing with new content. Trash ’n’ Tail: Raccoon Bandit will launch on iOS and Android, free to play with optional cosmetic purchases to support the development team.
