Pinch Patrol

Protect the sea!

$1.99 · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

One angry crab. One beach. Endless trash rolling for the sea. How long can you hold the tide line? Protect the sea and let the sea creatures return home. You are one furious little crab, and the sea behind you is YOUR sea. Bottles, cans, empty bags, flip-flops and beach balls come rolling down the sand towards the water. Drag left and right to skitter along the tide line and snap your claws to punt the trash back up the beach before it reaches the waves. But watch what you're whacking. Baby turtles, little fish, shells, starfish and the odd octopus are just trying to get home — let them past. Block one and you lose your combo and 10 points per sea creature knocked back up the beach. WHAT YOU GET - Direct drag controls in portrait or landscape. No joystick, no clutter. - A snappy claw animation and a satisfying pinch on every block. - Chain blocks together for combo bonuses and a rising score. - Gentle wave ambience for a proper seaside feeling. - Difficulty that builds smoothly: slow trash first, then more types and more speed as you improve. Never an impossible pattern. - Challenge your friends to beat your high score in Game Centre. - Plays completely offline. No signal needed, anywhere — on a plane, on the Tube, down the beach. No accounts. No ads. No in-app purchases. No data collected. Just you, your claws, and a beach that will not stay clean. Protect the sea. Pinch says no.
