Sandpipers

Forage for crabs as a speedy sandpiper. A gentle, meditative experience about the simple life of a seaside bird.

When the tide comes in, crabs may appear. Run to the crabs and peck them to eat. As the tide goes out, the sand will dry out and the crabs will submerge themselves in the sand again. Eat as many crabs as you can!

Controls: Left / Right / Down to peck the ground
