Hahahahaha it makes me laugh so hard. The clam before the storm! I did that typo once or twice but didn't think about you can explain the theme in that way. Indeed, it feels like a really stupid clam. The control brings some challenge and adding some checkpoints will make me feel more motivated. What a strange and fun experience!
When I played it I was thinking about the oysters experiment conducted by F.A.Brown (a romantic story).
