Otter Survivor
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
Otter Survivor is a survivor-like game where you play as a fierce little otter defending its beloved fish (or "feesh") from waves of enemies in a peaceful meadow—surviving as long as possible while the timer counts up! Dodge attacks, fight off cunning foxes and swarming rats, and gather clams from defeated foes to level up and unlock new abilities. How long can you protect your feesh before the meadow is overrun?
Features:
- Survivor-like timed gameplay: Hold off waves of enemies as long as possible, with your survival time counting up.
- Dynamic upgrades: Collect clams to level up, enhancing attacks or unlocking new abilities.
- Simple controls: WASD movement makes it accessible, while enemy variety adds challenge.
- Endurance challenge: Test your skills and see how long you can keep your feesh safe!
Play Otter Survivor and see how long you can hold out as the clock keeps ticking!
How to play
- Defend Your Feesh: Enemies will swarm in to steal your feesh. Dodge their attacks and let your otter automatically retaliate with its abilities—no need to press any extra buttons to attack.
- Collect Clams: Some defeated enemies may drop clams, but not all—each type of enemy has its own drop rate. Move quickly to collect clams before they vanish!
- Level Up: Gather enough clams to level up. Choose from randomized upgrades to enhance your otter’s powers, unlocking new attacks or improving existing ones.
- Survive and Win: The game timer counts up as you play. If you can hold out for 15 minutes, you win the game!
