- 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.

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!
Thank you so much! :D
The game is pretty and the concept is fun but the spikes touch you, even if you are not really touching them, which is sometimes a bit frustrating :(
In order to know if we've been it, you should probably add some vfx or flashing octopuss fx :)
Anyway, nice one! :D
Yes, I've definitely noticed that I have some collider problems that I had not noticed before :D Really good idea with the flashing octopus on taking damage. Thanks a lot for the feedback and for trying my game!
I really liked the concept of an octopus fighting the garbage, but the trash is hard to hit and the octopus has several pixels that are floating around it :/
Oh dang, hadn't noticed the pixels! What do you mean that the trash is hard to hit, does it not disappear when you hit it? :)
Yes you need to be like super close to it. Maybe make the colliders a bit larger.
Oh, I see what you mean. Thanks a lot for the feedback :D
