Slow and Steady

Story:

Sheldon the turtle hatches from an egg and, upon realising he was heartlessly abandoned by his deadbeat mother, set out to find her, unaware of the fact she doesn't care if he lives or dies. 

We can only imagine Sheldon's sadness when he finds his mother and finds out that she's already given birth to and abandoned like a hundred more kids cuz lets be honest it probably took ages for him to find her, like the ocean is huge why don't YOU try finding one specific turtle in there when you haven't even seen her before cuz you were born as an egg and then just left there to fend for yourself.

Mechanic:

WASD or arrow keys for movement. Obviously.

Battle mechanics are like a certain game that revolves around collecting animals and making them fight, just this time you have the excuse that YOU are the animal fighting to survive rather than a human forcing them to do it for sport. Move down the map avoiding wildlife to make it to the sea and reunite with your mother who DEFINITELY loves you (unlike mine). 

You can change out shells for different buffs to match how you feel like playing.
