The music, the everything. Just amazing. And the ads are very tolerable, unlike a lot of games. ### 4/5 — Shrimp vampire survivors *2026-01-10* It’s basically a shrimp version of vampire survivors pretty simple, I don’t like how the shrimps antennae can only go in one direction though. ### 5/5 — Vampire survivors but shrimp *2025-04-20* 10/10 Shrimpy ### 5/5 — Most awesome awesome game ever *2025-02-04* I LOVE SHRIMP!!!!! ### 5/5 — Shrimp.io *2024-08-25* I love shrimp.io, its currently one of my favorite games. The only thing I would add is a speed up button but besides that it is perfect ### 5/5 — Fun game *2024-04-28* I really like this game. it is a cool idea even though it is hard. I wish there was more upgrades, and there was a maximum number of weapons. Having more (and cheaper) upgrades would make the game more fun and give the player more options to choose from. Having a maximum amount of weapons would make it easier to upgrade late game. ### 4/5 — Fun but reliant on the oil powerup *2023-05-01* I'm amending my previous review, I was too harsh. I rated it before having played the game much, which I should not have done. I really enjoy the game, which does not deserve a 3 star rating. So, this is definitely not an easy game. And it relies a bit on luck. When you level up, you're presented with 3 powerups to pick from. You're at the mercy of whatever the game gives you. I stand by the oil leak being the best powerup by far, as it essentially shields you from weaker enemies. If RNGesus gives it to you early, you're going to last longer because you will kill pretty much everything at the beginning, earning you more EXP, more levels earlier, and with that more weapons and whatnot. I made it sound like the other weapons aren't useful. That isn't true. While of course some are better than others, you can manage without oil leak if you smartly choose. While I don't think luck reliance is good game design, it works here. This game is about working with what you're being given. It takes trial and error to figure out what you should prioritize. I do still stand by the frequency of enemies being too high. But overall it's fun. I also appreciate that the ad revenue is being put toward a good cause. ### 5/5 — Based Shrimp-cel *2023-03-20* Epic game, not so epic difficulty.
