AZ - The Adventure of the Cleaning Hermit Crab

🌊Game Concept

Welcome to a world where marine pollution reigns supreme. Play as a courageous little Hermit Crab washed ashore on a desolate beach after a big storm.

Your vital mission is to clean up the waste, recycle it, and survive!

🐚 Core Gameplay Loop

This minimalist exploration and survival game focuses on a simple, engaging cycle:

1. Scavenge: Explore the colorful, trash-strewn beach and collect discarded debris (bottles, plastics, cans). Keep an eye on your inventory and hydration levels!
2. Recycle: Return to your home base to use the Recycling Machine. Transform toxic waste into valuable building materials.
3. Upgrade: Use recycled materials to craft new shells and enhance your claw! A better shell increases your inventory space; a stronger claw speeds up collection.

Each upgrade allows you to clean wider, more polluted zones, gradually restoring the balance of the ecosystem.
