About the Game:

This game was created over the span of a semester for TAGD's Fall 2023 Game Jam. Didn't have too much time to work on it since I'm taking a bunch of classes, so don't expect too much. A lot of stuff I wanted to do had to be cut due to time constraints. Also, just a heads-up, I made the game WAY too hard. Please don't try to get all the Cool Tokens until you're really comfortable with the game's mechanics, you will drive yourself insane.

The Story:

It's a lovely day at the beach. The sand is toasty, but not burning. The water glistens in the sunlight. The cool crash of the waves creates a refreshing mist in the air. Billy and Millie are relaxing on the beach. They had finally finished setting everything up, and were about to start eating. About time! Billy was hungry... But something else was hungrier. Suddenly, a giant beast emerged from the depths of the ocean, in search of its next meal! It took a deep breath, readied itself, and then began inhaling all the food on the beach, but even worse, Billy had gotten sucked up as well!
