Trash Goblin is a cozy, relaxing shopkeeping simulator that puts players in the shoes of a lovable goblin artisan. Players uncover oddities buried in dirt and stone, clean and repair them using specialized tools, and sell or combine them to satisfy the odd requests of eccentric town residents. With its stress-free pacing, charming visuals, and tactile restoration mechanics, it turns junk sorting into a delightful art form.

Our Expert Score

90/100

Trash Goblin is the ultimate cozy comfort game on mobile. There is something deeply satisfying about carefully chipping away crusty earth from an unknown object and polishing it until it sparkles in your display window.

The art direction is warm and full of personality, making every goblin animation and customer interaction a joy to watch. If you enjoy games like Unpacking or PowerWash Simulator but want a wholesome fantasy twist, Trash Goblin delivers hours of meditative fun.

Cool idea, needs tuning

Tutorial needs to be shorter, demo needs to be longer, price needs to be lower. On the right track though, keep it up dev!

disappointed :(

i was really looking forward forward to this game, but i played the demo/free start and really didn't like it. i do still like the characters and concept, but the controls are super clunky and awkward which makes the game unsatisfying. it's also hard to see certain visuals or click on certain buttons because they're too small for mobile (like the eye button to go to what you need to do). the game also "auto cleans" the last of the dirt off whatever you're working on when you get to a certain point, which is the thing i hate most in games that involve cleaning dirt. as far as i know there's no way to turn this off, unless it's an option once you buy the full game. i want to clean 100% of the dirt off myself. there's even a button to show dirty areas, so the "auto clean" feels especially unnecessary. anyway, it's a real shame it's so awkward and unsatisfying to play because the game truly is interesting in concept. if these things are ever fix i'd happily redownload this app and purchase the full game.

I LOVE this game!!!

I love this game, I am having such fun with it, however, I will admit there are a lot of bugs as far as controlling the items when you pick them up and try and put them nicely on the shelves, and especially frustrating when you upcycle items. If these can be fixed, this would be a stellar game. Don’t give up, developers, this is a gem in the making.

Cozy and fun game!

Really loved how cozy and simple the gameplay loop is. You basically forage (thru chopping various blocks), clean, combine and then sell the items you get. With the gold you can upgrade your tools to be more efficient as well as decorating your shop. Really recommend for those who like cozy games

Really good. But a bit clunky

The controls feel a little awkward on mobile but other than that its very good. Hope we get more content for it in the future. Maybe new items and characterz?

Wish I had $12 to buy it!

This is a game that’s very well thought out, perfectly executed, and so whimsical and cozy. I absolutely love this game. Hats off to the developers!!! Keep the updates coming please!

Fun, but …

I liked the game and found it rather fun, and would like to continue but there is no way I’m paying $13 to get the full game. Unfortunately, I will be deleting it now.
