Cool consistent art style and fun gameplay! Yeah, didn't get "going to rigth" at the start, wandered for some time. Seagull animation is great!

I didn't get to eat the impending-doom-seagull for revenge as a big crabbo :(

"Going right to win" is not quite obvious - I started exploring the map and went left on my first time and didn't quite understand why I'm not making progress

Developer

Yeah sorry about that. I was going to make some tutorial messages but ran out of time. I tried to help a little with the progress bar at the bottom but clearly could have done more. Thanks for the feedback and thanks for playing. :)

Crabbo is cute  ! The seagull mechanic is nice ! Fun game. Good job ! :-)

Submitted

Fun little game! The seagulls were a fun mechanic! 

Submitted

The crab is so adorable. I really like the the effect that happens when the seagulls appear really great. Fun game :)

A fun casual game, it got kinda time consuming trying to grow by getting new shells when the others would swap after picking one up. I think the seagull events stopped happening after a certain time.

Developer

Yeah, they stop once you get big enough. I was gonna have UI to show this but… ⏰

Very chill game. Was fun playing it altough it was a little bit too easy.  Maybe add less food and make the seaguls a litte bit harder to evade.

Submitted

Very nice seashore vibes! I also loved how the game has zoomed out every time I've found the right shell. Wasn't obvious why smaller shells (red arrows) became bigger shells (green arrows) after I'd grabbed a shell with a green arrow.

Developer

The only answer here is bad programming. I didn’t know a good way to make sure you could get slightly bigger shells as the game went on, so every time you pick one up, it recalculates all the shells to a new size that can range from -0.1 smaller, or 0.5 bigger.

Thanks for playing!

Submitted

You really got the atmosphere nicely done with the seagull mechanic on top of it.

Submitted

Super cute and I love the crab animation! The shell spawning could use a bit of refining since the sometimes spawned super close to each other or on top of rocks that I couldn't reach but small and cute game overall

Submitted

Cute, I'm sad I didn't think of a crab shell! Other than that, not too challenging.

A simple concept with a lot of polish and unique mechanics sprinkled in, with a lovely basic story.

Please put Point no filter on your pixel textures.

Pretty cool!
