How does your game fit the theme?
You have around 30 seconds of 'calm' to push the trash to the top of the screen 'before the storm' surge makes water levels rise and cover the whole screen.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes, but some of the art assets were made by me for a different game I made a few months ago.

It's a cool idea! and need some time to get used to the control, pretty challenging
I love how well the gameplay, art, and music combine to provide a calm game that generates a bit of tension when the water begins rising. I like how the player still has a chance to push trash past the line when the storm surges, as long as it doesn't touch the water. Making the game playable with just the mouse would be cool, since the 2 mouse buttons could replace the keyboard inputs (but this is a small preference). Awesome game overall.
Really cool! So clever to change the level with the wave! The music is a bit repetitive, but i like it too. If theres one or two variations in the middle it would be awesome! The theme is so important, and it's crazy to think that turtles need to pay for humans mistakes.... Awesome work for the team!
I know its a simple game, but I gave it almost a perfect score. haha. I mean it meets all of the requirements. The game design was solid and consistent, it was definitely a bit fun, the audio matched the art style, the graphics were cute, and the theme was definitely there. Itd be neat to see some modifies like maybe baby tutrles that need to be grabbed as well or maybe a new piece of trash flies down part way through. Was a great jam entry.
Awesome idea, cute graphics and it's challenging too! Overall great game
Cute graphics and great idea. A simple but enjoyable experience.
It's fun and the theme/message is great. It's also challenging. Very well well done!
Really good game, I quite enjoyed it. The different obstacles were really interesting and the art was really well done. Especially the animation for the turtle. It wasn't too noticeable because I was so focused on getting rid of the trash, but the music does get a bit repetitive. Other than that WELL DONE 10/10
theme wise its on point, it's a nice game! I wasn't a big fan of the repetative music sadly.
It's a simple and good game, I found it's a bit hard to see the text at the top, and the 8-bit SFX are a little harsh on the ears. But I love the music and the gameplay. Well done!
High score: 15... and I died just as the last food was on the line. :/
Yeah, I was struggling to find SFX that would fit... Where do you normally get yours from?
