Interesting concept! (I played the current/non-gamejam version)
Some random ideas that popped up while playing:
I can't quite tell if the idea is for this to be a kind of relaxing "sandbox" or more a score chasing game.
Sandbox, would be cool if the ocean floor was "revitalized" as you remove trash (something simple as changing the color of the texture or maybe even add some coral textures or something). Also, upgrades! :)
If it's a score chaser, maybe add score for each bucket based on how many pieces of trash you pick up at once? Another idea; limit the amount of trash at the start and have boats or something dump trash so you get to chase the trash around.
Umm, I think I broke it. I was going back from the edge of the world and the bucket got caught and it slingshot and whirled around the crane and would not stop. I took a video of it here. It is not public unless you want me to make it public. I thought you might like a good laugh. to make it do that, I got it hooked on a ledge and kept going in one direction, then when I thought it was far enough, I would go backwards and press the up arrow and eventually it did this. It is best to do it in the middle of nowhere as it hit the land mass when closer to shore.
Haha, that's great. I don't mind if you make it public, i have no illusions that i left no bugs in this game. I'm continuing to work on the game, and ill add that into the tweaks needed. Thanks for playing!
With a name like that this is my cup of tea. I feel like there's speed-running potential in the way you're doing the movement mechanics for that crane, I don't know why, just somethin' about that crane-bucket tech. Nice job, fun and cute! The descriptions for the weight of the barge were a nice touch

I moved right for a a while and reached the end of the ocean. Flat earth confirmed ?
Haha, maybe. I'm gonna consider it, as well as work on the feedback you had on stream. Thanks for playing!
Awesome music, the vibes are great. It was cool to see your progress through the jam.
Thanks, same to you!

Thanks! I plan to take this at least a bit farther, so ill be thinking of a way to do speedrunning. maybe fastest to a certain item would do.
