Pitch

You are Bernard, a hermit crab. Go back up to the beach while dueling against all the other hermit crabs to steal their carapace. Continue your journey until you reach civilization!

Intention

The main intention of the group was to make a sequel to Darwin the Fish (project of the previous Global Game Jam for the main members of the group).

Gameplay

The game is divided into two phases: the exploration phase and the combat phase.

The exploration phase allows the player to feed on mussels to enlarge their avatar and start fights.
The combat phase requires the player to press frantically on the keyboard keys that appear on the screen to beat the opponent and steal his shell.

The closer it gets to the beach, the more damage opponents will do to Bernard and the more they will be resistant to him.

By dint of magnifying the player unlocks a new key for combat to achieve more damage per second. To be able to grow more and more it will have to steal from the other crustaceans their more spacious shells.
