THE BEACH is the first ENDLESS BATTLE ROYALE game for 60 (80? 100?) players where you play as a hapless seagull trying to avoid a relentless wave and other obstacles to survive longer than any other player!

　　THE BEACH is an endless battle royale game, which means that you not only want to survive the longest, but if you die, the leader rotates to the next person in line. It's your job then to survive for as long as possible!

　　To do that, your main priority is to AVOID THE WAVE. If you touch the wave you'll POOF! This clears all your gold and leaderboard status, so you'll have to start over from 0.

　　It would be easy if you could just avoid the wave forever, but to get on the leaderboard you need to DIG UP GOLD. There's more gold the closer you are to the wave, so you'll want to push far out to grab gold, but don't overextend so you don't get POOFED!

　　At your disposal as well are ITEMS that you can use for gold to mess with other players! The BOTTLE blocks a players movement, and the BREAD sucks seagulls to it (because seagulls love bread). Spending money to spawn these items doesn't deduct from your leaderboard score, so feel free to use items like crazy!

　　We highly recommend the game be played with an Xbox controller on a PC, but we also support both Keyboard-centric and Mouse+Keyboard-centric control schemes:

　　Move: WASD | Arrow Keys | Left Stick

　　Sprint: Left/Right Shift | Right Trigger

　　Dig Ground: Left Click | C | B Button

　　Change Selected Item: Q/E | Left/Right Bumper | Scroll Wheel

　　Spawn Item: Right Click | F | X Button

　　Options: Esc Key

　　You can also view controls in the game.

　　THE BEACH is currently in an alpha state! It's working, but has some obvious bugs and places where we could improve. In fact, there's a ton of stuff we want to add to the game (more items, cosmetics, persistent leaderboards, etc.) but want to hear from people who are playing it where we should best focus our efforts!
