How does your game fit the theme?
In the calm before the storm, when the swash is low, the player can dig for food but can't easily find it.
During the storm, when the swash is high, the player can't dig for food but can easily spot the food.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes.

Cute game, fun to play. I like the sand dots to help remember where more food is.
This is a fun and simple game. I like the gameplay. I think there should be more features to it, maybe some upgrades or power-ups.
Nice little game with cool visuals! Thank you for it!
Hee-ho. Interesting idea. Cute game
Cool bird penetrating the ground game!
cool retro game, with nice sfx.
Please try out my game too and leave a honest rating, thank you.
Nice Game
Loved the idea, also great art done with pico-8, good work!
I loved playing as the sand piper, I see them at the beach and have always thought it would be cool to be one.
Hello, this is a really good game!
Can you try my game?

Big sandpiper fan, was a really nice and whole little game even though i have a pretty terrible memory haha
Thanks for playing! Same here lol, I dig up an average of 1.5 shells per swash cycle.
cool art, fun little game! there were a few points where I walked over a shadow I saw in the water, then dug when the swash went out, and didn't dig anything up.
I'm sorry to hear that! There are some bugs, such as one that occurs when digging up shells in quick succession. I'm working on version 1.1 for after the jam that will resolve those issues, include a main menu, sound, and a trophy case!
pretty good, solid game. congrats!
Thanks for playing!
Very cool concept! It was a lot of fun using the sand grains as reference to where the shells would be
Cute and a bit addicting! A great little arcade game.
Thank you for the kind words!
The art was cute. Memorization games aren't my favorite, but it wasn't unpleasant.
I'll take that lol. Thanks for playing!
I like the simple art style, the frantic running of the bird made me crack up. Fun game
Thanks for playing!
