About 1,000,000 shrimp

There is no frantic clicking: you hover the cursor over the sea to catch shrimp, then buy upgrades such as a cast net and a bigger boat to speed things up. The goal is a single, finite number, so the game has a clear end.

Crisp one-bit art, music by Seth Cardinal and sound design by mafgar make it feel complete for its size. It is a good coffee-break game for anyone who likes incremental games but not endless ones.
