ooh this was super unique and creative!! reminds me of backpack hero :D really like the art too. i like jam games that are highscore-based, but i havent seen many this year. this was a really fun one, thank you!

Beautiful stylistic game with a fun  sort like gameplay. Never know what the ocean is going to sweep up next.

Creative idea and good implementation. This would definitely benefit from some quality of life updates like a hotkey to switch tabs, and maybe a screen that would show you a preview of what's on the other screen to make it more incentivized to swap tasks when you aren't "finished" with what you're doing. Core loop works well though, good job!

I love how the shell is regenerated by sea waves

It's a cute game and a cool concept, I do feel the time limit is a little short and I had some issues where it wouldn't always let me grab shells.

It's tough with game jams to make something where the interest of the mechanics is clear, but it's not too difficult. Here, I did take a little bit to get used to the tabs, and the placement of everything. But once I got over that hurdle it's a neat little gameplay loop that's tied together to make a lovely tone with the art style and music. Thank you for making it!

Nice game! love the visuals. I know some cool games will use a similar idea and was curious how they will look like. this didn’t disappoint!

I’d say it’s a bit on the “challenging but not in a good way” side, but that’s to be expected from a 4 days game.

Cool game with a good vibe and an interesting take on the theme. Well Done.

Solid concept. Overall quite fun.

Very cute pixel art. I can really feel the summer vibe! It felt a little difficult for me since my hands are slow, but it was fun to collect the shells.

Cool concept. Having the game get more hectic as time goes on really adds to the experience in a good way.

A bit hectic, but a fun game.

I love the application of the theme here, the style and art is rly good. The game is fairly difficult and fun, I often times found myself rushing to get that pearl complete only to get it washed straight off into the sea before it was in my bucket lol. Me personally I think the timer was too slow for me to effeciently gather shells and sort bags, but thats probably my lack of skill.
