what is this game about?
Industrialization. Extraction. Greed. Human activities are damaging the Earth from multiple fronts. From soil degradation to ocean acidification, humans are causing many issues for themselves and everyone else on the planet. 8 million tons of plastic are thrown into the ocean every year. By 2030, the number is expected to be 90 million tons.
It’s time for the ‘little guys’ to rise!
A Game About a Little Guy shows what collective action can do against extractivist greed. By forming a group, the little crustacean friends clean up the plastic waste that’s poisoning their home. In this fun, fast, neon shoot-em-up, you can battle against abandoned plastics pelting you with microplastics and hostile overgrown algae blooms.
