Showdown at the O.K. Coral by Kashaar
Overview:
You are the greatest collector crab in the world. Truly, other crabs bow before your collecting prowess. However, word of your riches has reached the school of Evil Fish. They are coming to raid your cave. Defend your home from their murderous hordes using any means necessary. If any of them breach your sanctum, you lose!
Gameplay:
You are a COLLECTOR CRAB set on defending his stash from the EVIL FISH. You are willing to use any and all means necessary. This includes sticking other undersea life to your back and forcing them to fight your enemies for you! Use the A and S keys to move left and right, and the W key to jump. You can fire your weapons by pressing SPACEBAR or LEFT CLICK on the mouse (Hold down for constant fire). You will start with a single BARNACLE GUN on the ground next to you. COLLECT IT and prepare to defend yourself! Upgrade your shell with more BARNACLE GUNS, or if you're lucky, you'll find a friendly ELECTIC EEL to help shock your enemies into submission! Hold out against the hordes as long as you can.
It's your home, you have to defend it.
About us:
We were a team of 3, making this with Unreal Engine 4. Pardon the bugs...
UPDATE: Gamebreaking bug discovered, no enemies spawn. So, uh... yeah. We're gonna fix that after some sleep!
UPDATE 2: Fixed! Reuploading now.
Known Issues:
If you get a "missing msvcr120.dll" error, try again after you install the Visual C++ redistributables for Windows from here:

In other news, we just discovered a gamebreaking bug - fish don't spawn at all. D'oh! >_<
But since I have had only 12h of sleep since Friday morning, I'm going to maybe take a look at that tomorrow or the day after if my colleagues don't get to it before then :)
It was fun! 5 stars innovation.
That should fix it! I'll add a comment to that effect to the description.
Fun game, and nice shading. I'm curious though: once you're all geared up, is there anything that can even hope to get through a constant barrage?
Nice and smooth presentation, apart from the title font. Perfect sound and ambience.
Feels very polished.
We also did an underwater game.

Shows how much those can differ. ;)
Innovative and fun!
You can bundle msvcr120.dll and msvcp120.dll with the game yourselves, don't you know? Just search your computer for it! I had this problem with my LD game too. :)
Fantastic graphics and effects.
