After about the 10th object cleaned, I started trying to make trick shots and long bomb throws. I found the main core of the game to be a bit repetitive, but that smiling shark at the end made me feel like it was well worth it! :D

I love the happy shark model so much! I also really like how this game is about cleaning up the environment. A lot of games are about fighting and killing so this is a super nice change up. One of the few games I have finished so far, great work!

Nice job! I'm a bit of a clean freak so I found this game really satisfiying. It's also really funny to throw stuff away, especially to the fisherman 😂

this is really cool! I enjoyed eating fish and chasing away fisherman more than actually cleaning up the trash, but I still had to beat the game on easy and hard. The controls are really solid (not true for a lot of underwater games) and the whole game is well executed. Nice job!

I totally turned this into a challenge to see how many items I could barf at once.

I had to check twice that it was a compo game. Your 3D models & animations are impressive. The universe is very consitent, even the fleeing fish AI looks natural. It only missed a "Omnomnomnomnom" sfx...

Great work!

Wow, your graphics turned out really superb. I totally love the meshes, they're ultra cute! The movement could be tuned a bit (or reconfigured by default) but it worked. The animations are also nice. Very nice, good job :)

Nicely done! Some sounds would've added more depth ;)
Graphics and environment were well designed.

I really enjoyed playing this, I also liked how the fisherman actually catches fish when they swim under his hook, cool detail. Honestly not sure if this fits the theme that well though, but cool game nonetheless!

This was really fun, I had to finish it :)
Great 3D graphics, the controls are fine. Difficulty wise, the easy mode is maybe too easy.
Great job :)

First of all, big thumb up for the theme!

The gameplay is solid and the fish animations&AI is good!

I didn't play hard mode because I'm afraid that mode is too "realistic" lol

Would be even better with sound!

Thank you everyone for your comments and feedback! I've been making an effort the last few jams to make my games look extra polished in order to build a portfolio. In this one it meant I ran out of time to make any sounds or music :sweat_smile:. Also I made the easy mode a bit too easy, but my girlfriend can beat it so I'm happy haha. This is also the first time I made 3d animations with bone armatures in a game jam, if I was a bit more familiar with it I could've saved some time at the end for sfx. Anyways it was a fun time making it. Glad many of you liked it, thanks for playing! :smiley:
