Made in 8 days for LightBear Software's Uplifting Game Jam

In the spirit of "uplifting", I reached out to various communities to get some thoughtful messages to include in this game. I'd like to say a huge thank you to everyone who responded - I truly appreciate it!!
(Shoutout to Discord groups LightBear Software, Full Time Game Dev & Markiplier Manor!)

Game details

Play as a little mouse cleaning up the ocean. Watch the ecosystem thrive and find thoughtful messages along the way.

This game is intentionally slow-paced, encouraging you to slow down, take a breath, and reflect as you watch the world around you come back to life <3

Controls:
-WASD to move around the raft.
- Left click to throw hook.
- Shift to reel in faster.

(While not intentional, the game does work on mobile. The scaling is a little off, and you can't move the character or speed up the reel but the basics work fine.)

This game is a demo and may contain bugs! Feel free to report them!!

Also feel free to comment with your high score :)
