About the Game

Change your shell. Awaken new abilities. Save Awesome Island!

Shell Heroes: Awesome Island is a colorful 2D side-scrolling action-adventure platformer where you explore a vibrant island alongside a cast of unique hermit crab heroes.

After a violent storm, the fragments that once protected Awesome Island are scattered across the land. Join forces with heroes who wield different abilities, explore beaches, jungles, rocky shores, tidal pools, a shipwreck, and ancient deep-sea ruins, and recover the lost fragments.
