In an undisclosed backyard, somewhere in the mid-west, a plague has swept across the undergrowth, transforming arthropods and arachnids alike into mindless killing machines. The heroes of Shell game were once peace loving, cabbage munching snails that slowly lived out their lives in harmony with their insect neighbors. However, since the plague they are now battle hardened killers, hell bent on taking their home back from the deformed crawlers they once lived along side.

Shell Game is a side scrolling shooter, reminiscent of early arcade classics like Metal Slug and Streets of Rage. The objective is to make it through each stage of the yard, fighting through waves of crawlers that get in your way. Ultimately discovering the cause of the plague and destroying it.
