There's a lot of content in this game, I liked how expansive it was! The variety in fish friends was nice to see too, and I liked that the other octopus was inside a heart shaped cave. The idea is interesting too - an octopus fighting garbage in the sea - and it could be expanded upon in some interesting ways, so nice work on this game!

- I love the message and the use of the theme. It was fun!!
- There's a lot of ocean to explore here! I like the concept of a garbage-fighting octopus trying to rescue its friends, I think it could be more memorable if the art style were more comic book superhero or cartoonish. If you continue developing the concept, I think you could add more progression to the gameplay - either in the environment itself (discovering new areas that look different make you want to explore the world), in the gameplay (maybe the octopus discovers some super powers that make him stronger! maybe there's trash monsters that fight back!), or both.
