Abyssal: Devour or Be Devoured

Something small and starving wakes in the shallows.

Abyssal is a pixel-art growth game about eating your way down the food chain until nothing is above you. Steer with one hand. Everything smaller than you is food. Anything ringed in red will eat you instead.

Seven forms. Glowspawn, Serpentling, Sea Serpent, Hydra, Leviathan, Kraken — and one more, if you can take it from its owner.

Four zones. Descend from the Sunken Shallows through the Drowned Weedwrack and the Midnight Deep to the Abyssal Throne, where the water turns black and red and the things living in it stopped being fish a long time ago.

A 44-entry bestiary. Every species you devour is catalogued, from Glow Krill to the Elder Kraken. Some are common. Some are legendary. A few surface only under very specific conditions — and the largest ones can only be eaten after you have taken the throne.

A boss that fights back. Cthulhu is armoured and summons acolytes to defend it. Devour them to force the eye open, then ram it. Three wounds — and each one makes the arena worse: sweeping arcs, then ink blooms that black out the water, then hunters that come for you.

Relics carry between runs. Spend what you devour on new starting forms and trophies.
