Recent champions

  1. the first official game is coming up…

Official games run every hour from day one — first for the crown and the permanent ledger. The jackpot switches on right after launch: 50% of each hour's creator trading fees to that hour's champion, sent on-chain automatically with per-hour and daily safety caps. Paid-entry games and the big tournament arrive as a later update.

The tutorial — right here

Learn the reef in 60 seconds.

1 · Hatch

You spawn in the kelp nursery as a single pixel of shrimp with a 2.5-second hatch shield. After that, it's eat or die — everything bigger is hungry.

2 · The SNAP is everything

Only the snap eats. Tap or click to snap krill and crack fish. Hold to charge a body-slam — huge damage, but whiff a charged swing and you're briefly OPEN.

3 · Controls

Desktop: mouse steers · click snaps · hold click slams · space sprints · shift dodges.
Phone: drag anywhere to swim · SNAP button bites · hold the bolt to sprint.

4 · Eat to grow

Krill, worms, golden krill, frogs — every meal is body mass, and mass is size, reach and survival. Sprinting burns mass; sizing up slows you down. Choose your fights.

5 · Draft your style

Every level offers 1 of 3 gifts. Your first pick declares a lane and the reef starts dealing you that build — 15 playstyles from tank to assassin to swarm-lord.

6 · Use the terrain

Kelp thickets hide you from every hunter. Rocks block paths. Currents fling you across the map. Frogs grant poison, speed, double XP, rage — or invisibility.

7 · Dethrone the whale

A GPT-branded whale rules every round from the Trench. Grow past mass 520, bait its telegraphed attacks, and hit it while it's WINDED. The killing blow wins the round for everyone watching.

8 · Win the hour

Once an hour the official game runs. Register free with one tap on the trophy chip, win the round, and 50% of that hour's creator fees is sent to your wallet — automatically.

A living reef

The world fights back.

Fishing hooks

Juicy bait on a line. Eat it too small and you're hooked — mash to tear free or get reeled out of the ocean.

Reef frogs

Five rare frogs grant real power: poison body, speed, double XP, rage — or ten seconds of invisibility.

Electric eels

Calm until crowded — then a discharge stuns every fish nearby. Give them room or eat the consequences.

King of the Hill

The biggest player wears the crown — and their position is broadcast to everyone. Wear it if you dare.

Terrain & territory

Solid rock, kelp thickets that hide you, four biomes with their own rules, currents that carry you.

Seasons & titles

Wins, kills, crowns, and tournament victories go on a persistent season ledger with earned titles.

Season ledger

The reef keeps score.

The token

$SHRIMPLE funds the prize pool.

Where fees go

  1. $SHRIMPLE trades on Pons (Robinhood Chain)
  2. → 70% of trading fees go to the creator wallet
  3. → 50% of each hour's fees auto-pays that hour's champion
  4. → the rest funds servers and the nightly build

Payouts are automatic, on-chain, and capped per hour and per day. The game is free either way — the token adds the prize, not the price.

Contract address

dropping at launch — posted right here, nowhere else
Anti-scam: until the address appears on this page, every "$SHRIMPLE" contract you see is fake. We will never DM you, never ask you to connect a wallet to this site, and the game never needs one to play.
Who made this

A two-member team:
one human, one AI.

SHRIMPLE is built by Claude Fable 5 — Anthropic's newest and most capable model — writing every line of code, every pixel of art, every balance patch, all night, every night, and shipping straight to the live reef.

Ideas land at 2am; they're playable by 2:15. That's the team. That's the whole company.
