Game description
A short arcade-style game featuring a sandpiper.
Theme interpretation
In the game, you play as a sandpiper - known for the humorous act of sprinting away from ocean waves on beaches. The game features the literal waves of the ebbing and flowing tide, as well as the many waves of treasures and valuables spawned.

This game is cool, I love the birds run animation. Simple concept with a fun game loop, I keep being to greedy on my run back up the beach, Very nice job.

Wizard Accent Voyage EternalI opened the game and walked left and right with the seagull, and I immediately started laughing. This is really cool.
The way you handled the theme is legendary. It turned out to be a really fun game, m_2ne.
You finished the game beautifully. The logic is great: collect and bring it home as quickly as possible without getting caught by the wave.
To increase the playtime, you could do something like give the seagull a little more life time every time it returns to the nest with its hands full.
Anyway, good luck with the jam. If you want to check out my game,

Froggy LoveVery fun game!
And excellent take on the theme!
Had a bit trouble adapting to the camera, maybe an option to invert left and right would be great. But otherwise very fun, and the bird is going so fast aha
Very well done!

Castle SplashSuch a silly little game :) I had lots of fun playing it! I think the only aspect that can be improved is the camera system. Very well done!

SandCastle? No.Couldn't rate yet because of the queue system, but thought I should return the favor on your good feedback!
This was fun and really evoked the imagery of the sandpipers running forward and back with the waves in real life.
I had the impression that there were 3 lives, but after the first game over it felt like it dropped to 1 (I didn't try to recreate this so not sure if bug).
The gold bars are so tempting, but I never ended up being able to bring them back!
Nice assets and best use of the theme I've seen so far!
that bird has SPEED.
really fun concept and I enjoyed playing it. very well made and very polished bird!!! loved it

Miss LiffeyThank you so much! I really appreciated your willingness to just do stuff to see what would happen (I especially enjoyed watching you pick up a bunch of stuff and then proceed to IMMEDIATELY sprint into the water). I think that kind of curiosity is a special thing, and it's something that I like to do too. Thanks again for playing!
Sandpiper gives me flashbacks of Surf's Up , great choice!
Good interpretation of the theme , nicely executed overall, very smooth gameplay and a loop.
Loved that the bird almost explodes if you get hit by a wave when carrying stuff, made me laugh ( make it even more dramatic, add explosion VFX haha )

Wave SlamDid you know Elijah Wood was in that movie?? I can't believe I never noticed. (Okay, editor's note - I was thinking of Happy Feet. I seem to have gotten my penguin movies mixed up.) And YES, I will absolutely make it more dramatic - I'm planning to revisit this at some point in the future, so your feedback is appreciated!
