Thank you for playing and thank you for leaving really considered suggestions.
Firstly, without changing anything from this Gam Jam version of the game, I have fixed the getting stuck issue and rejigged the respawn. After the jam I can put out an alternative version.
Thanks for pointing out the getting stuck spot. Thank you for your generous compliments regarding colour and environment. Cozy and peaceful is exactly the feeling I'm aiming for.
I totally get the 100% optional clean up and I could offer an 80% version after the Jam. Similarly, I will take a look at the collectables in general and as you say, stick to floating or sinking/heavy rubbish. Good ideas. After the event, I can also take a look at the visibility of the above the water collectables. All great feedback.
Thank you so much again for playing and leaving your comments. Much appreciated.
