There's a fortune to be made in these waters!


Out on the high seas, it's been some time since you've harvested your lobster traps. There's a bounty of crustaceans waiting for you below the depths, just watch out for those pesky fish.
Legend has it, a lobster of extraordinary size roams the sea floor...



A good seaman knows their enemy.
The well-known Green Gobbler has been vexing lobster fishers for generations. Watch out for the Crimson Cod, a massive fish with a major bite. Finally, the Blue-Bellied Biter is quick witted and is sure to be a formidable enemy.

The Making Of

The Hunt for the Legendary Lobster is a creative effort between a group of friends tackling their second Ludum Dare. The game is developed in PlayCanvas and involves a number of custom shaders and solutions such as enemy tracking. The vertex and fragment shaders for water were developed using perlin noise. The game also features a custom leaderboard, so get in there and post your score! All assets from code to art are completely original and developed over the course of the weekend. Music and sounds are not original.
