I like how you polished it :) The graphics and controls are nice.
Although the gameplay could be leveled up I believe, f.e. if you add some visuals around fallen barrels (like spreading oil?) so that when it touches the ice it starts to melt faster.
Also to make it less abstract how about add a helicopter as a main character we control?
It then could use different tools to clean up the oil and grab the animals.
Also animating the animals would make it more lively :)
And yeah, I agree with previous comments - a progression is a must have - maybe clearing up an icebergs set makes the heli fly to the next one, etc.
Love the snow, absolutely beautiful in VR, great music, also! Great performance and loading times :)
I believe the core mechanics (picking up the animals to prevent them from falling off and destroying the barrels which - if too many - make the ice melt) are a bit hard to figure out. But once you get the hang of it, this game shows a lot of potential!
I agree. If/When the game is developed further this core mechanic is going to change. It has to be more clear that you need to keep the animals alive while picking up barrels. Maybe add a certain amount of animals you need to keep alive at every stage/level or have a set time limit.
