Interactive Beach

The hero is a feathered top-down tide pool on cream paper, grainy sand, a gentle surf line, and hand-painted critters scattered as you click. Click the crabs to nudge them while the scene stays loose and illustrative, more sketchbook toy than realistic sim. Built by Bao To as a playful portfolio opener: immediate interaction, muted coastal palette, and charm in the first second.
