I thought this was a cute and challenging game! I liked how it was good for my brain to be thinking of many things at once and shifting priorities. It was hard without a mouse, but since I was playing with another person on my touchscreen laptop we had a blast joining together and treating this as a multiplayer game. The sound effect default was mixed a bit loud so you couldn't hear the ocean too well while it was playing, i recommend turning it down a tad. It also told us we got three stars at the end of our levels no matter how much we botched it haha. Very fun puzzle game :)

This is a really fun puzzle, and you’ve implemented the core mechanics nicely.

Found a little bug: The level-complete screen seems to always show 3 stars, even when I got fewer. (level-select does show the correct scores).

And a low-hanging fruit you might add: Would be cool to see the total score at the main menu after each run.

Actually really good! The gameplay is polished, I love the sound effects. Could use some music, something calming, maybe droning sounds or something to go with the waves. Some fun animations on the garbage or the garbage cans would be awesome too. One final thing, It would be helpful if a custom mouse cursor was used, sometimes my mouse got lost on the screen.

Great job!

Very polished feeling! The font, in-game assets, and UI all felt very cohesive and well balanced. I would have liked if the game cover was in the same style, as it was the one thing that didn't seem to fit with the rest of the game.

I finished the game. I've had fun on this one. :) This has a lot of potential to be an educational game in letting people know what type of wastes belong to which type of bins. There's a only one bug I've encountered, where if the player picks a level other than level one, the wastes don't spawn. But you can get around it by restarting the level. Overall, the difficulty curve makes it really enjoyable. I had to lock in for the last level. Lol
