Shrimp Away! 🦐

Note: Instructions may not be entirely truthful.

An endless runner made for ComfyJam Summer 2026 (theme: Summer, limitation: The Instructions are a lie). Everything except the CC0 font is handcrafted.

You are a shrimp. You got caught at sea, tossed in a tank, and loaded onto a truck headed far from home. You break free and find yourself rolling down a sunlit beach at full speed. The ocean is in sight, and nothing is going to stop you. Roll as far as you can and make it back to the sea!

Once you get the hang of it, try to secure a spot on the leaderboard!

How to play

Roll down the beach, dodge obstacles, and collect coins. Beat your personal best in meters and compete on the in-game global leaderboard!
