This mini game has swimming mechanics, cool music, and excellent pixel art! The game starts with a couple simple puzzle to solve which leads you to a giant ocean to explore. The way the game went from small to vast exploration was very clever and we really liked the spinning swim attack! Congrats to Kaizen_Nero!
Wow, Narehop does it again with another masterpiece! You play as a young clam named Marvin who has to pass through 17 puzzle levels to become a legendary ClamKnight. The game even comes with a retro style manual to view! Simply a must play and we hope to see more!
If you weren't crabby before, you will be crabby after playing this fun game by Studio Daeera! Help a crab run through the beach while dodging military personnel, explosive barrels, and giant lasers! The digital artwork and chip tune music were top notch!

We have updated the 1.0.5 version as a response of below bug:
Fixed a bug that caused projects saved in 1.0.5 to crash when opened in 1.0.4 and "Control Keys management" was opened.
When opening any item from "Project settings" to "Group Management" in the editor settings, the "Control keys Management" tab was opened at the same time, causing a crash. The problem can be corrected by saving the latest project data with 1.0.5.
