Game description
A hermit crab looking for a new home. Navigate a perilous maze of tidepools, avoid funky starfish and a hungry-looking seagull, all while the tide threatens to pull you out to sea.
Theme interpretation
We used the wave as an environmental challenge in a side scroller about a hermit crab crossing a beach.
We used a cosine function to control the movement of the wave, which drags the player up and down the beach if they are inside it, potentially hitting enemies.

cute!!
I liked the way you used 'waves' in this context. Actual waves that covered the beach. Well done!
Such a cute little game :) The music could be a bit more relaxing/enjoyable. The art is amazing and overall this game super polished and very well done. (+ I like the idea of being a hermit crab). Please make a full game out of this :)
Very nice little game! cool graphics and music, and good take on the theme.
I didn't I could be scared of starfish 😂
Would love to see more levels!
Very well done!
