Poor whale, but great take on the theme, fits reality kinda, sadly.

In the beginning I could not figure out where the food wen trough, but figured after a while that it was over what I tough was the mouth. Nice one c:

gobbled garbo then died 10/10. I liked the simple mechanics, especially trying to catch the garbage right in your mouth. I was hoping I would spit out all the trash and go back to get more, but alas, the game is more realistic :(

I liked it.

I feel bad for the whale but it is what is happening and making in the real world and I think that making a game that gives a message and makes people think about it, it is a great idea! Good work!

A simple and fun game with a sad overtone. I really liked the music and the eating sound effect. It gets oddly relaxing at one point just swimming around eating plastic, though this game needs some sort of a failure state so there is some sort of a challenge. But I can't lie, I actually kind of enjoyed the gameplay.

The idea of the game is amazing.Although the operation is simple, but can bring a lot of fun

Nice game, At the beginning coudnt tell if the objective was to eat the plastic or avoided it. I was a while avoiding it, Im curious does something happen if you avoided it long enough? Good game overall.

Haha, this one is so great. I love the theme tie-in and the execution. Those little falling plastic sprites are so cute. I wished the sprites were a little more clear; wasn't sure where my whale's mouth was or how to eat for a while, but once I figured it out a spent way too long scooping up plastic. :D

Love the music and the colorful graphics, it make the entertaining even if what we do is awful ^^

The gameplay is really basic and barebones but the music and sfx are really good. I'm supervised I haven't seen more games do this take on the theme.

Nice interpretation of the theme, that great to send a message thought a game. Loved it, nice work !

Nice game! cool :thumbsup:

Lacking some gameplay elements to make it fun, Hungry Whale seems to actually deal with the futility of the situation. Which I think is a really good design choice. The cutesy graphics and music work for you, it's not an easy feat considering the topic.

A little more time in the over would make this into a powerful little game. Good work
