Are you enviromentally conscious? If you see some garbage in your path, do you pick it up and put it in the trash? Eco Punk does. Not only does this skateboarding rabbit pick up all the garbage in his neighbourhood, he gets rid of those polluting motorists!

You control Eco Punk with your finger moving him and his skateboard around the screen. The goal is to pick up all the trash you can find while avoiding the cars. Pick up enough trash and you can get powerups that will let you destory the automobiles. Control works ok, but the movement can be stiff, making it easy to slam into an oncoming vehicle.

The game utilizes blocky 3d models in an isometric view with some nice lighting effects. The soundtrack is appropriate but your own music can be substituted. Aside from classic mode there is a timebend mode where the vehicles move as fast as you do, and blitz, where you have to gather as much trash as possible in a time limit.

Eco Punk is a fun pick up and play style of game. The difficulty ramps up nicely and the timebend mode is pretty clever. The controls could use some tweaking (or the option to set sensitivity), but otherwise this is a great time waster to add to your collection.
