Nice and chill find and seek with a story attached. I couldn't find the last shell in the first level... wasn't sure if I could continue or not without it, or what would happen if I did. Movement was a bit weird. I think I'd prefer if the direction keys moved in a flat plane. Thanks for the game!

Submitted

Well done on your game submission. I like the art style and the relaxing music.

Good work on hiding the crabs and shells, took me a while to find them at first because I'm clicking on the big crab claws in the sand haha.

The mouse sensitivity was quite low even when I put it up to max, but that might just be my browser was being slow.

Great work.

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much for playing! Other players have mentioned the mouse sensitivity issue, I can definitely improve the settings for the future! 

Submitted

Relaxing and fun!

Developer

Great glad to hear it :) Thanks for playing!

Submitted

ohh it is such an interesting mechanic i really liked it

Developer

Thanks I appreciate it!

Cool, chill game. The music goes well with the premise. Nice job setting a scene that shows a story.

The controls are a little tricky. I think part of it was that W and S still impact altitude while shift and space do as well. Part of it is the maybe less conventional layout with space and shift. The right click movement of the mouse also caused some problems, even in full screen, it got clunky. If I played it long enough, my brain would probably adjust. I think it was starting to.

I like the colors of the scenes with the sunsets and twilights, too.

Developer

Thanks for playing it, I appreciate the feedback! I agree about the controls, I think it would help in the future to implement rebinding to let the players choose what comes naturally, but setting up the settings UI in general took longer than I originally thought and I ran out of time. Next time!

Submitted

This was relaxing to play. Good job

Developer

Great, that's the tone I was going for! Thanks for playing!

Submitted

This is a very good game, I loved the style!

Developer(+1)

Thanks so much! I had a lot of fun making the models and levels, probably spent too much time doing that haha

Submitted

Wow very fun 3D hide and seek style game! I hadn't played one of these before so I at first, I thought I was stuck to the ground like I was a player character but when I realized I could zoom and float all around the map I got a lot better at finding those shy little crabbies and the conch shells. The visuals were very appealing and combined with the music soundtrack created a really cozy yet mysterious atmosphere.

Great work!

Developer

Thanks so much! :D I thought about limiting the player to the ground, but I like having you fly around because not only does it open up more hiding spots, but you get to see the levels from different angles. It was a lot of work for one week but I had fun!

Submitted

I think the flying around decision was definitely the right choice for your game!

Developer

Thanks!!

Submitted

Firstly, amazing job delivering something so polished and cohesive. I think you picked assets that complimented each other really well, from the models, to the water shader, and even the music and sfx. The gameplay was simple but the level design was interesting enough to keep me playing. Moving the camera with the right click was a bit difficult or perhaps I was doing it wrong. Amazing work!

Developer

Thanks so much! I had a lot of fun searching for music I thought would fit the tone. I’m glad the other assets felt cohesive, I had to make them pretty quickly! My texture painting skills can be improved haha

Submitted

This is the first ever 3d seek and find I have ever experienced! very creative!

Developer

Awesome, thanks so much! I recently played a game like this called Hidden Paws Mystery where you go around and find cats, and I was like, I think I could make something like this :)

Submitted

A nice and relaxing game, it took me a while to finish but I couldn't stop until I found every shell and crab. Good graphics, original mechanics, and fitting music and sound effects. The right-click camera could use some work and I'm not sure how much it fits a last-stand theme but nonetheless a good game.

Developer

Thanks for playing! I was thinking that you are kind of an observer to somebody else's last stand, in this case some pirates that stole some treasure and tried to flee to this island but perished in the end. But most of all I was going for nice and relaxing at the same time lol

Submitted

Very good 3D assets, nice work! I agree with what others have said about right-click camera controls, but I understand the time constraints. Well done!!

Developer

Thank you for playing it! I appreciate the feedback, I'm always learning!

Submitted

Reminds me of those Seek and Find books but in 3d! Really cool concept! The camera controls were a little weird in that I had trouble turning it sometimes, but a fun game for sure!

Developer

Thanks so much, that's what I was going for! Yeah, the controls could use some more finesse, but thanks for sticking with it! :)

Submitted

Relaxing game.
Some controller mechanics, especially looking with the right click are not very smooth.
I loved to explore the three levels. It was nice!

Developer

Thanks for playing it! Yeah, I ran out of time to improve the feel of looking around with the right click, but lessons learned. You did it! :)

Submitted
Very cozy aesthetic, music and sounds all working in armony.
Looking around using the mouse movement instead of arrow keys would improve a lot the gameplay!

Immediately thought about this PMD cutscene

Developer

Thanks for playing! I think it should be possible to look around if you click and drag with the right mouse button. I've learned a lot of things I can do to improve the movement experience though, thanks for the feedback! I thought that too about the Krabbys! I was like, what would crabs even do? ohh blow bubbles! lol

Submitted

Looks very nice and calming, great asset choice! Would love to try making something similar for practice purposes as it was fun to play! 

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing! I would definitely encourage you to try something similar! I had been wanting to try something like this for a while too. The game logic is straightforward: 1st person character controller and you go around and click on things, and I also wanted more practice making simple assets in Blender and arranging them in nice little levels. It was really good practice actually!

Submitted

It was charming, I thought it was fun. Nice jo on the game

Developer

Awesome, thank you so much! :)

Submitted

Wasn't able to find the last shell on first level! was a really chill and fun game though! loced the ambience of it all! well done!

Developer(+1)

I was afraid of that! I wanted to include a feature for hints about where the shells are but I ran out of time... I tried to not put them in too weird places, but they might be hiding behind some of the boards... Anyway thanks for playing! :)

Developer(+1)

Also one more thing, I found your game yesterday because when you type "crab" in the search bar ours are the only games/usernames with crab in them XD

Submitted

The art is very nice i enjoyed playing the game.

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing! I'm glad you enjoyed it

Submitted

I really like this game! The environmental storytelling here is fantastic; I especially like how night falls throughout the three levels. It made me wonder how those pirates must have felt when they realized they couldn't get away with stealing the treasure. The cute crabs and sneaky shells were also a joy to seek out. Well done!

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much, you are awesome! I really like trying to put stories like this into my games, and given the challenge of limited time (and my own skills or lack of haha) it's like, Ok no time for dialogues, cutscenes, or animations, how can I make it all work? You know, you work so hard to steal treasure sometimes, and you just can't catch a break! XD
