Fantastic game! Relaxing, very aesthetically pleasing. Feeling like a good sandpiper right now. Love how much it feels the tide even though it's just a few shapes.
Thanks for playing! Everyone thinks they are a good sandpiper. And everyone is correct.
Hey! It’s the first jam entry than run with no trouble at all on my machine 😅 I gues JVM is “write once run everywhere” after all.
Loved the meditative style and reaffirming tone! It is nice to be a sandpiper :)
Haha yeah, people often look down on the JVM, but it’s really not so bad.
Glad you enjoyed the game. I’m sure you made an excellent sandpiper.
Loved the vibes. We need an “Artistic” / “Relaxing” category!
So glad you enjoyed it, it was a blast to write. It’s our first time trying to make an intentionally relaxing game, very happy the vibes come through 😊
I like it! Art, music and gameplay are wonderful!
Thanks for playing! Glad you enjoyed it, you must have made a very good sandpiper.
I'm not so sure, I missed almost every crab and went diving instead almost immediately :D
A brave, adventurous sandpiper who is kind to crabs? That sounds like a good sandpiper to me.
I never knew I could be a good sandpiper! I love the aesthetics and the soundtrack. Very pleasant to play the game. Well done!
Deep down inside all of us is a very good sandpiper, sometimes we just need a little help to find them.
Nice and calming (once I figured out that you had to attack each crab several times). Enjoyed the unusual aspect ratio!
Thanks for playing! Yeah we were really pleased with the aspect ratio choice. Would you be happy saying what size monitor you were running it on? It was optimized for ultrawide aspect ratio.
Just standard HD (1920x1080) on a curved monitor. Aspect ratio is one of the underutilized knobs on the game environment. It used to be a big deal in the heyday of special purpose arcade hardware, now it's just a setting. One that can be changed to match the goals of the game when it makes sense.
Very nice art! Perhaps a gore cheatcode next time? :D
I’m gonna say that it was an aesthetic choice, and definitely not that we ran out of time 😅
Everything is cool… I’m good at being a sandpiper…
I think deep down you always knew you would be good at being a sandpiper. I’m proud of you.
Very very charming! I am good at being a sandpiper. And you are good at drawing them on the screen.
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed your beach foraging experience, I’m sure you were one of the best sandpipers.
I knew it! I am a sandpiper!
I knew it that I am a sandpiper, I am good at being a sandpiper, that's why it feels so painful for me to behave like a human.
I’m glad that being a sandpiper was such a positive experience. Just remember that you had that sandpiper inside you the whole time, they are there still, endlessly enjoying a warm sunny day at the beach.
Oh… How sweet it is to know this…
Thank you Kimbsy!
I’m going back to the beach, see you.
