Our take on Washed Up!
Its defining constraint is simultaneous attention to two sides of the atoll: blocks arrive on the beaches while squares are assembled in the center.
What is Washed Up!?
Washed Up!
is an action puzzle game about clearing blocks from the beaches of an atoll. Crab helpers assist with tidying, while blocks are moved from the shore and arranged into squares in a central area to earn points. The game requires attention to two beach areas at once and offers more choice over which pieces to place next. Players can extend squares before they fill for higher scores, but waiting carries risk. Classic, Time Attack, Free Play, and Storm Rush modes provide different structures. Power-ups include cannons, explosive blocks, and ships’ clocks that rewind time. The game supports keyboard, gamepad, and mouse drag-and-drop controls, with online leaderboards.
