I love the pixel art, and I absolutely enjoyed the chiptune music which was boppin'. The goal for the game is kind of unclear though. I know that I have to survive as long as possible but there is no reason to. Thats probably because there is no indicator showing the distance traveled, or score, or time survived, and also because there is no game over screen(?). Its also unclear whether or not you are supposed to hit the crabs; it seems like nothing happens either way. Also a couple suggestions I have is that the ocean should have less health or at least lose it quicker, and I should be able to move with the arrow keys. But I will say, I really liked the shell mechanic where by going into the shell you move faster, but it drains the shell bar. So it was fun trying to balance when to move around the screen quickly and when to attack the enemies. And I like how the beach and ocean get progressively more polluted. Overall, its good.

I was planning to add distance and the longer the distance the harder the enemy is, though I didn't have much time I was even planning to include bosses. also, there is a game over screen but either it glitched or it was too easy lol. and my game engine wont allow me to add text or it'll look blurry so no hopes for an indicator, I'll try to get the game some update for the time being
