Couch Co-Op Fest: Here we come!
Hello you beautiful people!
It's been a while since our last update here on steam, but just know, we are still hard working on the game!
With the Steam Couch Co-op Fest around the corner, we thought we'd give you a bit of an update on what we've been working on last year:
- Skills and store: get new skill and upgrade them in the store!
- Shell selection: select which shell to use in combat
- Fragility: instead of braking, the shell now becomes fragile. Don't get hit again!
- Objectives: each sub level has a small objective, which gives you sea-stars. Get them all to unlock skills!
- Shared Objectives: co-op mode? hehe, right on theme! we got you covered with shared objectives and skills.
- Seastars: use them to buy new skills
- New overworld: a whole new level!
- New UI: complete overwhole of the UI
- Multi-Player UI: UI that accomodates co-op.
- Game progression Event: new fancy animations with caracters talking to you!
- Game Recap: how did the level go for you?
- Hook Timer: lose and gain time on the hook depending on your actions.
- Add new attacks to Electric Eel and Murena: a whole new skill-set for the two bosses!
- Inside Murena: attack the Murena from inside.
- New Biome: we got started on a new biome.
- Biome Switcher: switch between biomes, discover a whole new region.
- Armor: some monsters now have armor, only certain shells are efficient against that!
- New Smol Eel: better smol eel animation!
- Pollution/Ink: cool effects, the enemies and Hermit disappear in the ink/pollution!
- Temporary Health: get some temporary upgrades, they are only good until you lose them.
- Pickup Plankton: you now have to collect the plankton!
- Hammer redirect: didn't time it right? redirect the hammer smash a bit.
- Summon: summon new shells, ask Bromedes for help!
Not all of this is in the Demo, some might come to it in a bit, but if you'd like to get semi-regular updates, follow us on these platforms:

[ 2025-02-07 03:02:20 CET ] [ Original post ] Hermit: an Underwater Tale is a fast paced action game with arcade elements. You play as a hermit crab who faces waves of creeps and dangerous sea creatures. In order to protect yourself and defeat your enemies, you will use a wide variety of empty shells as weapons. Each shell comes with a specific set of moves and attacks and will eventually break after use. Without any shell, the hermit is fully exposed and any damage he receives will be lethal. The game features a simple core mechanic paired with a high and ever increasing difficulty over multiple levels. In order to beat the game, you will have to combine skill, real-time resources management, smart item purchases, upgrade strategies and serious stamina in order to survive.
