The 9th Wave

!!! WebGL does not support some of the in-game cinematics, please refer to the downloadable version for the full experience.

a tiny hermit once observed
the stone of white amidst the sky.
"that shiny shell should suit me well!
if only could I reach that high."
but have you heard? sea breathes in loops,
and from it's mane shakes trinkets.
and while it shrouds away from shore,
the crab builds walls and wickets.
the dark is nigh, and so crab yearns
for Moon above the sea
"if I can trick the fiercest wave,
my shelter shall it be!"

The 9th Wave is a stylized puzzle platformer about building toward something impossible before nature takes it away. Your goal is to help the crab construct its fragile tower fast enough to reach the moon — before the wave crashes down and wipes the structure clean.
It’s a quiet story about persistence, timing, and how long you can hold onto something before it slips back into the sea.
