About this Project:
Our project addresses the issue of ocean pollution. We came up with the idea by brainstorming issues in the world today that we care for that we can incorporate in our game. It had evolved by a whole game being created out of it. The project works by having the user try to collect as much plastic as they can without harming fishes.

Feedback from the Judges:
You have picked an important topic to address through your app. You have done a great job defining what needs to be in the game! I like that you include a tutorial on how to play the game along with giving the player options for music and sound effects! I personally like to turn sound effects off so I am glad to see that you thought about that option! This is a really great start for this game. Your idea of adding more details and information bubbles to the game are great. These could be used to educate people about the effects of pollution as they play the game. For example, on the screen where you show the score, you could also display some information on why you died (“you left too much pollution in the ocean so the fish could not live”) or if you win have some congratulation message (“you saved all the fish from dying!”). This is a really important topic to make people aware of so I really appreciate your creative game idea to engage people in a fun way!
Ocean pollution is such an important topic and I really like the way that your game considers caring for the fish while also cleaning the ocean. It seems like it would be a fun and easy game to play. I appreciate how you included the settings and instructions for the users. It would be cool if you could also teach people about things in the ocean with your game. For example, real fish with their names and a brief description or coral reef etc.
I love the design. I feel it's very relatable to the ocean. I love the slides you have created, and the topic is definitely very important to address. As someone who loves the beach, I appreciate the focus on protecting it by clearing out trash and being considerate of the fish in the ocean. Overall, I really love the idea of the game design.
I have read the comments from Ellen and Maris and agree with their suggestions. Additionally, with the games, if we could explain or provide references to which ocean is being discussed, and what types of fish are being protected by removing the trash, it would be very helpful. Including a brief description of the ocean world and its wonderful organisms would also enhance the overall experience.
