Enjoyed the experience. I liked the fact that the echolocation signals for the bags and the fish were close enough to each other that you had to pay attention, and that the health bar seemed right on the edge of failure for most of the game, making you really feel like you needed to constantly get more fish, without the ability to stock up much at all. Nice short experience and the echolocation graphics in particular were quite nice.
Cool idea for an arcade game! I like how echolocation works and helps you "predict" obstacles and collectibles in a classic arcade experience.

The balance felt spot on: having the signals for fish and trash so similar forced me to really stay focused. The health bar kept me right on the edge of failure, creating a great sense of urgency since I couldn't just stock up and relax. Also, I truly appreciated the environmental message behind it; using these mechanics to highlight the ocean pollution issue is a great touch. Great work on the visuals too!
Have to agree with others, nice idea for an arcade game. I did find the echolocation a little redundent. It was easy enough to just move up and down and look for fish.
