idbrii rated Hermit the sluggish caterpillar of the sea

A browser game made in HTML5.

Very nice look. Game is simple, but well put together.

It took me a little bit to understand that the pointy shells fire up and the round ones roll -- when I figured it out, I could have sworn I'd rolled some pointy ones.

Once you figure out round shells attack crabs and pointy ones attack fish, it's fun for a bit to toss shells and naked jump to survive. But after a while, the game feels less interesting. You get stuck with unhelpful shells and have to hide. But hiding doesn't feed anywhere else into the game (a four dot shell hits one crab just like a one dot shell). You can't do anything when hiding.

Regardless, I'm interested in trying it on my kids to see if they enjoy it. I think they'll like the aesthetic.
