Fun little game! I actually managed to finish it within the first day. I like how the bigger trash are obstacles at first but can be collected once you get a bigger boat. Going into the edge of the map sent me flying a few times, but nothing game breaking, haha.
To make the real world connection even stronger, maybe one cold reference initiatives that do work in this field or to causes of ocean pollution and how we can work as a society to stop it from happening?
Nice work!
