Evaluation

KOTAMON launched on August 20, 2026, and KotaMota Games has been highly active ever since, shipping patches and updates in rapid succession. The big "Ultra Update" arrived on October 1, 2026 — the same day as today's assessment — and delivered a substantial batch of new content: an autumn seasonal makeover for the dump site, auto-cleaning and auto-gluing systems using in-game currency, 20+ new cards (including 7 limited ones and a brand-new Brawler set), collectible figurine stat bonuses, a Gallery of Trash feature, three new cosplay outfits, and numerous bug fixes. This update fulfilled the free major content update the developer had been promising in their September 1 and September 6, 2026 posts. However, the October 1, 2026 post also outlines what's still coming: new achievements (players can already start working toward them), more autumn trash, missing localizations, and most significantly, an 18+ adult content DLC. The developer states this DLC is "more than half-finished" and that they plan to "focus on it full-time." This DLC was first announced in the August 20, 2026 launch post with a target of before the end of 2026, and every subsequent major post has reaffirmed it is actively in development. It will be released to Patreon/Boosty supporters first, then added to Steam as DLC. The developer is communicating frequently and transparently, and the 18+ DLC represents concrete announced content that has not yet shipped to Steam.
Evidence
Ultra Update ships with 20+ new cards, a new Brawler set, auto-cleaning/gluing systems, Gallery of Trash, new cosplays, and seasonal content. Post also confirms future plans: new achievements, more autumn trash, missing localizations, and that the 18+ DLC is 'more than half-finished' with the team planning to focus on it full-time.

About this game

------

*According to the artists themselves

Mend and swap cards!

A dump site is not a good place to store cards. Often, you'll be find cards that are crumpled, damaged... or torn into pieces even. Don't worry; you can mend them or swap them for better ones! The better the card's condition, the more expensive it is!

Hidden treasures

In addition to collectible cards, you can find lots of interesting things at the dump site that were thrown away by mistake or by accident. The site owner will pay you well for each such find!

Garbage makes you better

Upgrade yourself to become better, faster, stronger, and more efficient at clearing tons of garbage. Turn yourself into a veritable trash-mowing machine!
