Bird, debt, and crab races gone wrong.
You’re a beach bird who backed the wrong crab at the races. Now a charmingly unpleasant bookie owns your debt — and he’s fond of kneecaps. Time the tide, dash in, grab shells, and make it back to dry sand before the waves wipe your haul or a crab nicks it. Pay the debt, save the knees.
How to play
1) Watch the tide. Beach zones follow a tide cycle: they open and close on a loop.
2) Sprint in, grab shells, run back.
3) Finish assignments to get pearls, buy upgrades and pay down your debt.
How to finish the game
Pay all your debt.
Crab race
You can try to win the crab race, but be prepared to say goodbye to your pearls — there's only all-in bets there.
