As one of the other devs of Dumpster Fire I have one question. What kind of leaks are you talking about? We never discussed it!

Hello I am Dumpster Squirrel. One of 6 people (Not 3 like what cinos said) that have helped make this game. Currently the code optimization for the game is a literal dumpster fire (hehe) so I would not recommend trying to mod the game (It runs at like 5 fps and also can crash). Dumpster Fire is a full block game (No java script used) and is currently in a state that is playable. I am open to any suggestions ya’ll have and hope you have fun with the game!

PS: Check out the other Dumpster Fire post (By cinos) and this is also our first game btw.

Cinos this is version 1.44 not 1.0 and you need to communicate what your ideas are! Also Dumpster Fire is planned to be 3D and is NOT a platformer (The real game, this MAKECODE game is practice so it is top down). That is not the focus of the gameplay. Please communicate next time.

Any chance an and b could be used? I don’t have a keyboard on my mobile phone.

Maybe like an inventory screen to select?

Otherwise great job with the tutorial, I was hooked the instant I started (just couldn’t do anything)

For everyone who plays without a keyboard, there is a temporary fix to be able to play the game. You are going to have to select the “Auto class”, this class automatically shoots for you so all you have to do is move around.

 ![Screenshot 2026-09-21 11.05.21 AM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/3X/1/c/1ccd9da87a89f4504845593ba81f0cb563171302.png)

This is what it looks like. You can find it in the top left corner of the lobby area (Opposite of the difficulties and to the left of the level 1 tile). If you can’t find it walk through the tutorial and you can also find it there to see how it looks. To select the class all you have to do is overlap with it.

Here is a link to the mobile version but it seems to have severe lag whenever you press the button B in the controls. Interestingly though if you click button B on your keyboard (Enter) no lag occurs. I will keep trying to figure out a way to fix this lag but currently this is what I got. Apologies for the inconveniece.
