Cozy game. Very beautiful art and idea! It's done superbly.

The art added so much charm to the game! The gameplay was simple, but I still had fun finding where all of the shells were and where to rest. The messages for when you rest were pretty nice as well. The collision of some things as you moved around felt off and could use some adjusting. It did feel like a complete package for a game jam game. Great job!

The watercolor styled art was really impressive. A nice idea for a game!

What a fun and quirky little game! It made me smile and be happy for a few minutes just watching this crab go.. The visuals were very charming, and the little sounds here and there just fantastic. The puzzle were easygoing and made sense.. 

If I had to nitpick - I sometimes felt I was blocked from moving on places I should - like the grass, or when trying to get the can

But those are indeed nitpicks. This is a lovely experience. Amazing job!

Is that bird stealing all these shells to sell because if he's low on rent I can introduce him to a roommate stop stealing my shells. Cute art, fun play!

Aw that's cute! I loved the art. When I saw the cool crab I thought it reminded me of another crab's treasure, so it was really cool to see it brought up in the end screen text. Overall a very good job!

I think the art style is just the cutest! I love all the strange places the hermit crab can sleep. I was captivated by it for quite a while. Between the music and the adorable art style, I just couldn't put it down!

Got all of the shells! I loved this game, art, gameplay, music, everything about it! great job

Charming art direction!

Amazing, so nice and relaxed! Intuitive too, I knew what to do without reading any instructions. Very engaging, I had this urge to find all the shells then all the sleeping spots. Also, awesome job on the music, sound and art. You’ve got talent!
