I think it's really cool how the trash 'solidifies' and becomes part of the landscape if you don't grab it fast enough. I did have a little trouble controlling the character because there seems to be some kind of odd velocity inheritance across movements. But I found that you can reset her velocity by pushing against the wall, haha!

Yeah there is a little issue with the velocity once you touch any border of the screen I was not able to solve in time before deadline. Thanks the feedback. It is really cool to seen how people notices all these minor issues in the game. I don't know why but it feels rewarding somehow. Thanks again!

I loved the kind of Tetris feel from all the garbage that I miss just stacking to the top. I liked that added challenge as I ran out of space to maneuver. Great work!

Yeah that is one of my favorite mechanic as well. Too bad it is not completely implemented, it is still missing the game over screen when trash reaches the top. Thanks the feedback.

love the style of the game, the music is so moody i love it.

Great idea and message. the instant gameOver is a nice touch

There is only one thing, when you understand the spawn rate the game become too easy

Developer

It is so nice to get all this feedback. Thank you.

Nice game!  The mechanic where the trash piles up was a nice touch, though it might be good if it causes a loss if it reaches the top of the screen?

Developer

Yeah that was an issue I was not able to solve in time before submit deadline but I will do it for sure after Game Jam ends. Thanks the feedback.

The sound makes me feel like I am comitting a crime against humanity when the mermaid gets caught.
