Because your acceleration is so slow, and your top speed is barely higher than the crabs' even when unencumbered, they can very easily end up stunlocking you until too many of the clams have been washed away for you to be able to complete the level, and then you're forced to keep playing anyway just to pick up the few that are left.\n\nI managed to get a score of 5020 on my first go, which I think is pretty good.","format":"md","likes":3,"spam":"N"}],"format":"md","images":["ld58\/wayback-placeholder.png"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/flask.games\/play\/ld58\/web\/","text":"Web 1.0.0"},{"url":"https:\/\/flask.games\/play\/ld58\/bin\/ClamJam-1.0.0.exe","text":"Windows 1.0.0"},{"url":"https:\/\/flask.games\/play\/ld58\/bin\/ClamJam-1.0.0.zip","text":"macOS 1.0.0"},{"url":"https:\/\/flask.games\/play\/ld58\/bin\/ClamJam-1.0.0.x86_64","text":"Linux 1.0.0"},{"url":"https:\/\/flask.games\/play\/ld58\/bin\/ClamJam-1.0.0.apk","text":"Android 1.0.0"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"88958","g_author":"1053539","g_event":"LD58","g_eventkey":"112","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"426770","g_title":"Clam Jam","g_status":"WAYBACK","g_place":"105","g_commentcount":"28","g_site2_node_id":"416341","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":{"n_key":"416341","n_urlkey":"426770","n_parent":"415614","n_path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/58\/clam-jam","n_slug":"clam-jam","n_type":"item","n_subtype":"game","n_subsubtype":"jam","n_author":"53539","n_created":"1758723733","n_modified":"1779442987","n_version":"1331267","n_status":"WAYBACK"},"node":{"_collation":{"body_sanitizer":"TextUtils::SanitizeHTML via existing importer","event":"LD58","removed_author":false},"_superparent":9,"_trust":7,"author":53539,"body":"![Logo-1420x1000px.png](\/\/\/raw\/321\/d\/z\/6e0fe.png)\n\nHello everyone,\n\nFor our twelfth entry for Ludum Dare, we are heading to the beach with our title \u201cClam Jam\u201d and we\u2019re very proud of what we have accomplished!\n\nFor 58 we made an arcade game where you slip into the role of a duck who loves to collect beautiful shells on the beach.
