Tried playing the web version. It's just a white screen for me with "ocean cleanup" in text at the bottom. (using google chrome on a macbook)

Whoops. I've updated the link, it should work now.

Works perfectly fine now! The movement feels very unique and the ocean changing color was a nice detail. Though I think some ocean sound effects might have suited the game better than that tune. You have provided a solid entry to LD. Well done :-)

Sea changing color was certainly a nice touch. Music needs work, but is off to a good start.

Thank you both. I agree that my music isn't that great, the ocean sounds was a good idea.

Cool boat physics. Best garbage collecting game so far. I also liked the ocean color changing.

Is there a way to lose? I was having fun until I noticed you can't fall of the borders =(

Pretty solid little game. The music gets really annoyig after a while.

Cute little game. Moving around does get a little disorienting at times since the whole map moves. It's great that you had time to make music, but it could be made a little less repetitive. The art is fine. Maybe you could consider new features, like having to tow the garbage bags and with each one you collect, it makes it harder to tow all of them at once (which might fit the theme more)? Good job :)

Suggestions: - Collision with the islands cause death - Add sea currents (cells with force applied) - Make landscape variations (like narrow canals as opposite to open sea)

Optionally: - Seaweed traps - Make sound for engine (loudness depends on speed) - Add diversity to non gameplay objects (like seagulls, buoys with the bells etc)

Controls are a bit wonky, It felt more like driving on ice than sailing a ship. Art style is great though, I like the little details. Gameplay is simple but fun. I wish the music was longer so it doesn't get as repetitive, but other than that it's a nice submission. Good job!

The drifting, man. I really enjoyed it. It takes a while of getting used to, but the controls do feel boatish.

I imagined that I'm driving a car and drifting to be honest. :smile: But it's lot's of fun! Good job.
