Hey again guys we have uploaded a short for the first review vid of the best of indie games series i mentioned we are making. 'Tidal Bout' is what episode 1 is focused on as it was/still is a fantastic little game. It will come out soon hopefully in the next few days once edited I'll upload a link here once finished. Here is the advertising short for it and your game for now...
I put all your details and link to the game itself in the video description!This rules! I can't wait - this animation is awesome
Thanks for your kind words! we actually finished the video a little earlier than expected so it should be playing soon on YT. I'll post a link in the comment above.
Hi,
We are grateful that you felt so positively about our game. I will need to remove the linked video. The Tidal Bout team is unanimously in favor of more diversity in media, and we don't want to associate the game with culture war content.
Made some fan art of your game for a new review video in the works.
If you like it feel free to use as you wish ๐

Incredible! I love the poor flailing blue crab being swept away in the background. Thanks for bringing this to life in a new medium!!
yooooo! That's amazing.
this is awesome!!!!
lovely game, though I hate the blue crabs XDDD
Have you considered that they are blue because they are sad??
and thus...they wanna go into the sea and suicide??? omg this game is deep...like the blue ocean
What detailed analysis! Thank you!
As far as I am concerned, those blue crabs are lobsters at heart!
No prob was a great little game one of my favourites for sure. Cheers for watching.
Maybe the blue crabs are members of the 'Blue Lobster Cult' lol!
The work was cute and very soothing!
The crabs in the surf, too cute meow~!
I felt a bit of melancholy when the crabs were in a hurry to disappear into the undertow, but that's also one of my favorite elements.

Fun game, found a cool trick where I could pick up the block before it deteriorates and this way I could always carry one block and I felt cool doing it like that and the great thing was the enemy crabs made sure me finding this "tech" didn't ruin the challenge of the game as they would still wrestle move style throw me in the waves haha
It was a fun game the rival crabs were a bit buggy but everything else went smoothly.
Had so much fun checking this one!! The beach is so hungry I kept getting eaten by the waves xD Well done team!

SO CUTE :3
A small and clear, good and complete game, I think it would be perfect as a mini-game in a larger and more complex game)
