57 of 57 · most liked firstI went in with low expectations because the main character was a geriatric turtle capturing jellyfish with a bubble gun. I was pleasantly surprised by how satisfying the game was to play. I was even a little bummed out when it was over and the little guy went back to napping.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Such a satisfying incremental game. The upgrades all felt meaningful. Progress was smooth. The gameplay loop was addicting. It's stressless without being boring. The art style is adorable and the music is good. Honestly, there's not much to complain about here. This is an extremely fun little game.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A short, sweet, and immensely satisfying incremental game about helping an old turtle go back to bed by selling jellyfish. Great art, an addictive gameplay loop, and perfect for a cozy night!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Incredibly fun and addictive little incremental game where progression genuinely feels like the most satisfying thing in the world. I've been zoning out playing this and have felt so calm, I owe this entirely to Shelldiver!

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →🐚 Shelldiver Review 🐢 What an amazingly cute, cozy, and deeply satisfying little game! You play as a charming old turtle on a mission to sell jellyfish for shells, unlock brilliant upgrades, and finally earn the peaceful sleep you deserve after all that hard work. The artwork is absolutely adorable, colourful, bright, and a perfect fit for the relaxing sea vibes. There are multiple biomes to explore (four in total), each with three different depth levels. Every biome feels distinct, with…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good little game. Only about 3.5-4hrs of content but it's enjoyable Warning - last half hour or so contains ALOT of screen flash and shake that cannot be disabled.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Such a sweet lil game! The incremental side of things felt very satisfying, and the pixel art is gorgeous. A resounding yes for me, especially for the price!

unlabelledView post →Shelldiver is a wonderful active-incremental game. You play as a Turtle hunting for shells and scraps! With the currency you slowly upgrade a massive skill tree unlocking new zones and different currencies to upgrade more stuff! The classic incremental mechanic. Shelldiver does an incredible job in that aspect, the progression speed is well paced, not to slow not to quick, so each upgrade und unlock of a new system feels like an accomplishment. On top of that, you have a chill soundtrack…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very fun, although the loop gets repetitive. Either way, was fun to 100%, very cute. Fug the jellyfish, sell them britches. 9/10 - mew mew
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Easy, simple, stress free game. It felt kind of like a flash game. 100% in one Saturday evening. 100% worth it, specially on sale.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Tbh I wasn't expecting to enjoy this game so much! It's a good game where you can relax and play at the same time. I really hope to see at least a DLC or more content in the future,it would be really nice.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Shelldiver is a charmingly aesthetic incremental game with an active gameplay loop where you play as a turtle reluctantly starting a jellyfish-selling business. You dive into bite-sized runs to collect the aforementioned creatures and resources, which both slowly restore the island and fuel your ever-growing collection methods. The exponential growth is paced just right, collecting rewards has weight and is made more enjoyable with upgrades, and the repetitive cycle remains fun for the entire…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A short, and perfectly executed incremental game that mixes in some elements from other great titles like Dave the Diver. The upgrade tree is massive, and at no point does progress halt or feel to grindy. One thing I particularly liked was the lack of soft resets (prestiges). Progression is smooth and done in one playthrough. Easy recommend
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is really well made and very cheap price so I bought it right when it was released and forgot to play until today. Around 5-6 hours gameplay but it scratches the itch of non stop upgrades and jelly-fishing!!! I finished it with all achievements in one day which is really nice and not stressful <3
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Shelldiver is a simple and very addictive loop of diving and upgrading so that you can dive again to upgrade again and again. Rinse. Repeat. It’s low-stress, charming, and hard to put down once the dopamine hits start rolling in. Be ready to dive into the depths of the ocean in your submarine and herd jellyfish with your bubble gun while blasting scrap and other resources to fund upgrades. Progression feels finely tuned and super satisfying, with a branching skill tree that steadily…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Careful, this game might look cozy and chill on the surface, but it will take over your life if you let it. Now, how do I explain my wife I never picked the kids from soccer practice? My only gripe is that, although I love the MC and the concept of the game (you're a senior turtle saving up for his retirement), why the turtle from the cover art of the game looks like a cheerful, youthful turtle? Nothing like how my man looks like in the game. Old, tired folks like me need representation in…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really enjoyed my time with this one. Good pacing. Satisfying progress. Lots of polish for what it is. Easily one of my favorites so far in this new wave of incremental games.

unlabelledView post →THIS GAME ROCKS!!! The whole presentation is a solid 10/10, it looks cute, feels smooth, and sounds fantastic! The gameplay loop and progression feel spot on! I was hooked from the start to the end! All of that at an unbelievably cheap price! This is worth every penny! Bougth one for me and my friends! I'd love to play this on a Steam Deck or some portable, it seems like the perfect game to play on the go!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Satisfying and short game. The pacing throughout the entire game was great. I never lost interest for a second. It only takes a few hours to 100%
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Such a degenerate crack binge of a game. Wonderful, delightful and full speed. My dopamine receptors won't ever be the same.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Shelldiver is one of those indie projects that immediately stands out because of how confidently it embraces a gentle, low-pressure design philosophy. Developed and published by Gagonfe, the game centers on a senior turtle who decides to pivot late in life and start a jellyfish-based business, and from that deceptively simple premise emerges a charming blend of incremental progression, exploration, and underwater world-building. Rather than overwhelming the player with tutorials or complex…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I think I payed 5 bucks for this? Maybe 4? But whatever, it was a good little game and the progression felt perfect. Every time I was wishing for a problem to have a solution, there was something to buy to upgrade that. So, good job, fun game, worth the couple of bucks =) And a cute ending!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Shelldivers is a fun, short numbers-go-up game where you dive to catch jellyfish, gather materials and slowly work your way through a skill tree where you unlock upgrades to your guns and further depths. The art is nice and it's a chill experience for a few hours; nothing incredible, but it works well enough and it's always nice to go from capturing one jellyfish and mining one rock to exploding the entire screen 3 hours later. A fun quick dopamine rush when you need it and easy to finish!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Got 100% for a cute lil game called ShellDiver by @gagonfe.bsky.social. Super chill and a causual game would easily recomend to anyone who likes that! #indiegame #completion #art #achievements #cute #gaming
unlabelledView post →This game is sooo adictive! The premise is simple, collect jellyfish, sell them, get upgrades, get better jellyfishes, rinse and repeat. It does not have a real story, the soundtrack is simple there is not really much to it to be honest, but the feel of progress makes you want to go deeper. It's also relatively short but for the quality and the amount of content I believe the price is fair. If you want to spend an afternoon with a relatively basic game just gathering resources here and there…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Simple, but SO SATISFYING. Not incredibly grindy, but just the right amount to feel accomplishment. The upgrades are well balanced for a good feeling from start to end. 10/10. Not very re-playable but the first time playing was so fun it was worth every dollar.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Sitting back and chill while you shoot those bubbles to grab those jellies! Great game on the background while you catch some dramas or animes along the way =)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Short and sweet. Shelldiver is a quick little incremental game with a chill gameplay loop organized around a large skill tree. You dive into the water, grab some delicious jellyfish and floating debris, and come back to the surface to sell it all, upgrade your abilities, and go back down. The skill tree is where the real game is, and it's well made and offers a very well-tuned progression to the endgame. You get to make real decisions about where you focus your collecting abilities,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →it's a nice-looking version of a VERY familiar template. i enjoyed it but it's really just another nodebuster
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is an extraordinary game. On sale for $3, this was a fantastic 5 hours that I am glad I spent swimming around the ocean as an old turtle. All the achievements were completable in a single playthrough and nothing was too difficult. The gameplay itself: Shelldiver is a simple game of harvesting resources and exponentially getting better at collecting and refining your haul. No clunky inventory management. A complex yet straightforward skill system that focuses on 5 main points. 1) Your…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm finally going to play a game that I wanted to try out Shelldiver! If I stream on Christmas Eve I probably will do my bad Christmas Special/Movie stream these are pretty much the bottom of the barrel of specials. If I don't stream the Christmas special stream this week expect it next week lol!

unlabelledView post →Incredibly fun 'numbers go up' game with a great vibe. Upgrades actually feel meaningful and a fully kitted out upgrade tree is hilariously chaotic. Priced really well for the length of the experience. Honestly, I'm just a bit sad that it's over so soon!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Left me with an empty feeling, craving more. Started out slow and controlled and devolved into an outright frenzy where I felt isolated both from my surroundings and even from my own thoughts. Don't think I even took a single sip of water during the last hour. I dunno, it was fun, but there are probably different qualities of fun when it comes to playing videogames. This was fun in the same way a cocaine binge is fun. As a responsible adult, I'd probably rather go for a jog. 10/10 as far as…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →**A short, satisfying, easy-to-recommend game.** Shelldiver was a really enjoyable experience and exactly the kind of game that is easy to pick up and play without needing a huge time commitment. I finished it in a little over 4 hours, which felt like a good length for what it is. It does not overstay its welcome, and the progression feels satisfying from start to finish. The gameplay loop is simple in a good way. It is casual-friendly, relaxing, and easy to get into, but still gives you…

Let's make some waves! I received a key from @gagonfe.bsky.social! 🎣🫧 ⏰ 5:30 PM PST 🟣 twitch.tv/Diggeh
unlabelledView post →I enjoyed the game at the price of a coffee Although the page states it, this is not an idle game and I do not see it as management as well ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ You go to different regions and collect a few different materials with which you buy upgrades to haul in more resources in less time So far so greedy The artwork is nice and it was a quick play through in about 4-5 hours
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great incremental game, cute and polished. It has a balanced pacing of unlockables that provides a satisfying progress. It's exactly as long as it should be, it doesn't overstay its welcome.

unlabelledView post →TL;DR: A fun and engaging game with a relatively short playtime to complete and getting 100% Steam Achievements is very easy. Positives Visuals : The graphics are very simple but pleasing to look at and interactable gameplay elements such as resources and jellyfish are both visually distinct and coloured to differ from the environment. Upgrades : The upgrade tree is fairly priced and the stat changes, game mechanics, resource facilities, and new currencies are handled so well that each…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Loved it. Adorable and addicting, super easy to get the hang of and not as stressful as other similar games. I could play hours more <3
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As an indie game dev, I'd love to hear about cool indie games that y'all are playing lately! I just finished Shelldiver, a really great little 4 hour incremental game with an adorable art style and satisfying gameplay. store.steampowered.com/app/3862670/... What's everyone playing? #gamedev
unlabelledView post →So cute, fun and relaxing!!! Best part? You become ULTIMATELY OVERPOWERED in the end! The Developers knew *exactly* what to give you. This is the best incremental stats game I've seen in a looooong time! I have only praises to sing for this game. Good job. Good work and gotta get that sleep in! :D (P.S. Love how the jellyfish keeps looking angrier and angrier the deeper you dive. Lol!)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →For 100% completion and achievements it's around 4h30 of playtime. The game is fun from the first minute to the last. You dive , you capture fish or gather ores then you get back to island and you repeat. Skill tree. It's a nice game to relax and have fun with . Got it for 5$ so for $/quality/length it's worth it :) I LIKE TURTLES ! A turtle made it to the water ! :P
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →LIVE NOW! Time for some cozy incremental fishing in Shelldiver! We played this a few months ago as a sponsored demo and now we are jumping into it no strings attached! www.twitch.tv/CamronJK Honestly, this game was a blast before. I'm excited! #goinglive #furrylive #furry #vtuber
unlabelledView post →Took me 3 hours to fully complete this game (though it could take more or less, I'm not sure how optimal my skilling choices were). A nice short incremental game, saw it in a spanish youtuber's channel (Vicio One More Time) and I had a nice relaxed evening with this game. I'd say it's worth it's price, the end got a little overwhelming with the flashes from certain skills but I don't have any particular issue with it, just a warning for people that suffer epilepsy.

unlabelledView post →Shelldiver is a cozy resource grinding game in which you sell sea creatures to upgrade your skill tree to progress to other areas and get stronger. Very very cozy and chill game, just bought it because i liked the art style and i'm a big fan of rinse and repeat grinding stuff (if it's well made) and this one is definitely well made! The difficulty spikes were completely managable after you unlocked a new area and the game overall didnt feel unbalanced, the game is also pretty short tho so you…
