About the Game

In Pick Up Your Masks, nature is slowly being overwhelmed by the waste left behind by humans. Forests, walking trails, roadsides and natural areas are now covered with discarded FFP masks abandoned without any respect for the environment. Faced with a situation that has sadly become a real problem across the world, Mimi refuses to look away.

During his walks, this brave little cat collects abandoned masks in an attempt to clean nature and make the environment safer again for both animals and people. Your mission is to help him throw all these wastes into wooden dumpsters through a physics-based game that is both accessible and highly addictive.

But behind its simple and relaxing appearance, Pick Up Your Masks hides a real challenge built around precision, rebounds, timing and controlled chaos. Every mask you throw can completely change the situation inside the dumpster. Some masks get stuck between wastes, others bounce unpredictably, while unstable piles become harder and harder to manage as the levels progress. You will need to learn how to use physics to your advantage in order to avoid disaster.

Because here, a single mistake can end everything. If one mask touches the ground, the game is immediately over. This constant tension turns every throw into a critical moment where strategy, speed and precision must work together.

The game features two unique throwing mechanics that make every match dynamic and different. The first paw allows you to release masks exactly where you want in order to create precise stacks or unblock difficult situations. The second paw constantly moves from left to right across the screen and requires perfect timing to achieve the most difficult throws. The further you progress, the harder the dumpsters become to fill and the more the wastes inside them interfere with your strategy.

With its satisfying physics gameplay, accessible casual atmosphere and environmental message inspired by real-world pollution issues, Pick Up Your Masks cleverly blends puzzle game mechanics, arcade gameplay and environmental awareness. Behind every session lies a simple but important reminder: every piece of waste collected truly matters.

Whether you are a fan of physics games, passionate about nature, concerned about pollution, or simply looking for a fun and addictive free indie game on Steam, Pick Up Your Masks offers an experience that is both relaxing, challenging and surprisingly satisfying.

And the best part? The game is completely free to play.
