Pistol Shrimp 64: Marine Life

Made in 48 hours for Global Game Jam 2025 by Glen Fox, Joe Hamilton and Samuel Hollywood-Summers.

About

A twin-stick shooter (or use WASD and mouse) where you play as a Pistol Shrimp who is also a Marine. Protect your underwater base from crabs and octopuses by using your Pistol Shrimp Bubble Blaster to send the invaders to the surface.

Collect power-ups to increase your movement speed, add armour protection, heal yourself, or add bounces to your weapon's projectiles. Each power-up has three tiers. Getting damaged removes your most recently applied power-up tier.

Survive for as long as possible, and take out as many enemies as you can. Let us know your high score.
