A little crab who just wants to live alone in the tide pools gets his shell stolen by a loan shark and finds himself searching for his shell and perhaps a new reason to live in a polluted ocean filled with aggressive sea creatures corrupted by the overwhelming gunk.

Clearly inspired by From Software's medieval masochist, this is a game where you can get easily killed by a nasty fish and can only persevere by leveling up your character and figuring out when to block, parry, or attack your way through each battle.

I like the game's humor and in a general sense how it plays, but by the second half of the game, I think the game started to lose me a bit, in part due to the glitchy nature as of this review interfering with fights and traversal. This is a smaller indie team and not a 70 dollar game, so I do cut them some more slack on this compared to larger studios, but at least they gave me an option to give this little crab a gun to get through the late game sections as I was starting to consider dropping it.

It's a decent game well worth its price, but it might be a good idea to wait for some bugs to get patched before rushing out to get it.
