What is Dumpster Gang?
Dumpster Gang is a co-op sandbox from Coyote House Games, published by Curve Games. You play a raccoon in a gang of up to four, raiding suburban homes, farms and forest camps for snacks, junk and anything shiny enough to carry. The whole neighbourhood is climbable and almost every prop can be lifted, thrown or smashed.
Each run ends with a getaway. Fill the quota and the neighbourhood calls in the Exterminator, who lays traps, hunts the crew with a catchpole and cages anyone he catches. The rest of the gang has to break them out. Between heists you return to a hideout you decorate with stolen loot and unlock hats that carry real abilities into the next job.
