Hi! I played your game on stream on the Pygame Community Youtube channel. If you weren't in the stream, and wanted to check out my playthrough and opinions, there are timestamps in the description. Apologies for any audio cutting issues.

Developer

Thanks for streaming, I looked through the stream, and it seems like you did not notice the small pollution bar at the top left. I agree I should have made it more noticeable, but the point of the game (original plan was way bigger) was to reduce the pollution level to 0 using the powerups, and you will get a win screen. Once again, thanks for streaming.

Ahhh I see. I saw the pollution bar but I didn't realize I needed to lower it, just that I needed to not max it out.

Nice! I liked the use of physics - garbage interactions,  water waves and splashes👏. Personally, I found this game calming. Nice music in the background, and the art is interesting, it is like pixel art, but smooth. Menus are pretty polished, with particles and transitions. Oh by the way I was surprised when I saw pygame powered logo at the start👀 I think I wish there were more sounds. 

Well done!

Developer

Thank you very much for the nice comments! Also yeah, time was short so this is the only sound I have hehe. Also, the pygame powered logo was supposed to be a loading screen while the exe file unpacks the assets :D. Thanks for playing!

The water and bubbles animations are very well done! And catching the garbage was really fun, with a very good music accompaying.

But why does it weigh 60 KB?

Developer

Thank you! I am also surprised how the music turned out lol. It is 60 MB because of packaging big libraries like scipy, numpy, and pymunk hehe.
