Pier Pressure (Prototype)

Pier Pressure is a chaotic 4-player party brawler where crabs shove each other around a rickety wooden pier to fight over one pearl. Hold the hill, guard the pearl, become the Crab King.

How to play

• Runs in your browser. Best with 2–4 friends.
• One player hits Host and shares the join code
• Everyone else enters the code and hits Join.
• Grab the pearl, hold the hill, first crab to the target wins the round — win enough rounds and you're the Crab King!

What's in the demo

• Online multiplayer via join code (up to 4 crabs)
• Shove-'em-off pier combat
• King-of-the-hill pearl scoring
• Water recovery — falling in isn't instant death, so swim back
• Ocean hazards — the pier isn't the only thing that can end your reign. Watch the water. Watch the sky.

This was a 2-week project to prototype an online browser-based multiplayer game. The game was intentionally kept small to build something playable quick. I had a lot of fun building this and getting friends to play, so I’m keen to improve and expand based on player feedback. If you played, please leave a comment.
