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.
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.
