Ocean Cleaner Idle

Way.............. too..................................... slow

This game has significant issues, bugs, and glitches that make it a terrible playing experience. Spent a ton of time collecting resources to purchase upgrades, and open closing and reopening the game, the upgrades reset with no way to get them back. I'm not willing to spend so much time getting all the achievements just because the game bugged and it takes forever. It's not a fun game, and it feels half-baked.

Either this game is bugged or the devs have no clue how to do satisfying progression. I'm at a stage where every upgrade costs 15.000, but I'm still here slogging away at clicking and collecting trash worth !!!five!!! bucks. The insanely rare occasions that something more valuable shows up are not enough. Nobody seems to have really checked out the balancing before release.

I don’t really enjoy writing negative reviews, and it particularly pains me in this case because the game has such a positive intention around the state of our waters. Unfortunately, the game itself just isn’t very good. There is a lovely core idea, but the implementation feels unoptimized. Graphically, it struggles with different screen resolutions. It feels like it was only ever tested at one aspect ratio, and although it technically supports others, it doesn’t handle them well in practice. The bigger issue, though, is that the game never actually changes. You unlock all these upgrades, yet the gameplay remains exactly the same. Even the ship—supposedly meant to move at different speeds—doesn’t seem to. There’s simply not enough variety, and nothing evolves as you progress. Later in the game, which is where I am now, it takes an extremely long time to gather specific types of trash needed for further upgrades. Quite frankly, I’m just not willing to wait. It’s too much of a grind with no real gameplay to make that grind worthwhile. It’s a shame, because the intention behind the game is genuinely good. But the execution doesn’t live up to it.

It's cute, but dull.

Nice artwork and sound design with an environmental theme which is admirable, an easy to play enjoyable experience.
