Pico-8
Use of the limitation
There's a finite quantity of sand, and it slowly gets used up when the tide comes in.
Cookies eaten
No cookies - but a lot of easter eggs!

Great work! i like the concept, the idea, i agree with the below comment, speeding up the wave when retreating would be great.
Thanks :D
This is an amazing concept for the theme and limitation. Very well made! I would recommend speeding up the wave as its going back since it's a bit tedious waiting for it. Other than that, awesome work!
Thanks :)
I did have the wave speeding up each level originally, but I was too bad at it and kept dying :D
I adore this pico8 style. But this game in particular is a great idea. Apparently simple but very nice concept. Maybe I would speed up the wave when it goes back? It could be also part of the behaviour though, idk. I thought of Ukraine because of the colors, then because of the hostile waves. Not sure if it was intended. Awesome anyway!
Thanks :)
I’ll admit the Ukraine interpretation wasn’t deliberate - but I do like that take!
Incredible game! The concept is great and the gameplay? Is also great! I could play this for ages.
Cheers!
Now this is a game with strategy. A great game with strategy.
I love it lol you got a 5 star in enjoyment and concept from me
Thanks :D
Super cool concept! I like the strategy involved. I wonder if the limitation could be pushed even further with maybe RNG obstacles like shells or seaweed that get washed up with the tide and prevent you from using that bit of sand? Or maybe they can help you in some way? Idk :)
Thanks - that’s a nice idea for giving it a bit more longevity :D
Great concept. My only gripe is how much you need to wait during each tide but other than that cool game.
Thanks :) I did have a build where the sea game in quicker and quicker each time, but I wasn’t any good at it!
This game is actually really fun. The concept is great and there is real strategy to it. Good job
Thanks :)
I love it, but you should have eaten cookies.
Hah- too many eggs - there wasn’t enough room!
