Help Clawbert find the perfect shell in this puzzle platformer game!

With an artstyle inspired by Pizza Tower and a character inspired by Meatball the Mite, Tom502 proudly presents Claw and Awe! This puzzle platformer takes place in a tree (don't ask why,) where you play as a little crab named Clawbert! He is able to change scales by pressing the C Button, which turns him from a cute little crab to a jumbo shrimp! (Again, please don't ask why)

Don't forget to spend some time looking for the fabulous Shellectables... if you gain them all, you might find something worth your while! There is one in all of the levels (This includes the Tutorial and the other one people who beat the game will know!)

Anyways, Clawbert is looking for the PERFECT shell to be his new home... can you help him find it?

CONTROLS:

C - Change Scale

A/D OR Left arrow/Right arrow - Move

Shift/X - If in big form, attack, if in small form, well, you will see!

Z/W/Up arrow - Jump

Esc - Pause


Made in under 96 hours for the GMTK Game Jam 2024!

FAQ:

Q: "I got Softlocked, what do I do???"

A: Some of these are intentional. Just go to the Pause menu and select the Restart Level option.

Q: "Will this game become a full game someday?"

A: Strong maybe. If so, do not expect it for a very long time. I am currently working on several other projects.

Q: "Can I take Clawbert home with me?"

A: No.

Q: "What game engine was this made in?"

A: Gamemaker Studio 2, great software for making games!


P.S. All sfx are made by me save one, and credit to that one I used goes here:
