It could use some faster refilling of the trash. After day 4 or so, I felt like I was spending more time waiting for the next dump than cleaning them up. (and, perversely, that kind of makes the player want trash instead of wanting to be rid of it!)

But the only thing I’d really call out as a miss is gamepad support: You’re reading gamepads but only the axes. That means it’s not playable as-is, and also if the player uses an OS-level cudgel to fake keyboard events with their gamepad (probly just me…), it’s still not usable because the axes are then in contention. Really ought to go all or nothing on gamepad support. :(

Nice one overall tho! I like the pleasant octo-vibes.

Remarkably pleasant little cozy game. 

I really enjoyed seeing the coral grow when throwing trash away, and I think adding additional lighting and fish was a really good way to reward the player's progress. The music also fit nicely with the visual assets & theme both, so good choice there. 

I think I would've liked some sort of countdown / clock displaying how much time was left remaining in the current day/night, and also a counter showing how much trash was currently available to be picked up (there were a few times I was pretty sure there was no trash, but I felt like I had to keep looking around just in case.) Very fun overall though!

its really good!

the only thing i need to say about this game is that sometimes (especially later in the week) i would have cleaned up the whole thing and i'm just waiting for nighttime but other then that this is a great game!

The way how corals appear whenever you place trash in the recycle hole is really creative. The controls are really responsive, and the inventory system in tentacles are groundbreaking levels of innovation. I love it.

Great fun little game I love the way the coral and stuff grows as you clean. Well done, good music.
