Shore - Patch 2.1


Hey, this is another significant update to this project! Playtesting revealed that the most prominent issue with the game is general confusion as to the rules and controls. As such I have implemented a series of animated tutorials which should allow new players to understand the game! These come in the form of optional popups at specific points, as well as a selectable help button.

In addition there has been several quality of life improvements/balance patches:

  • The wave order has been modified so Squid appear on wave 3 (rather than 2)
  • The original tutorial text has been removed, making way for new animated tutorials
  • The Nautilus time to dry out has been reduced to 5 seconds
  • A clicking animation has been added to indicate where the player has clicked to move the crabs (as well as one for right clicking)
  • A bug with moving whilst a shelled crab is charging has been fixed
  • A bug that could sometimes trap shelled crabs in the spawn zone has been fixed


For the future, I hope to:

  • Perform more playtesting
  • Add at least one new enemy 
  • Change the bounding boxes so crabs can't enter the fish spawn accidentally
  • Redesign the crab movement so they aren't as jittery
  • Add in some accessibility and system options 
  • Add an actual list of credits
  • Insert some crab facts... somewhere
