Life's a Beach

Life's a Beach is a comedic sandbox adventure for one or two players. You explore a roughly 5-mile map, discover comedy sequences and themed challenge areas, and can play together locally on one screen. The game includes 11 achievements and seven challenge sections.

Explore the map

The large world is full of surprises, including in-engine movie sequences and comedy bits. You can move across it at high speed, sometimes hovering above the ground, and trigger a solar eclipse by activating a switch. Challenge areas load in about 1.5 seconds, with transitions between them designed to be seamless. Some sequences cover porcupine sex and abortion; other jokes take place in themed challenge areas.

Play together

The two-player mode puts both players on the same screen, so you can explore together, activate sequences and attack one another by dropping objects or firing objects horizontally and vertically. The game can be played locally on a single TV, or with a friend through Parsec or Steam Remote Play Together. The listed achievements cover watching sequences, exploring the world, discovering challenge areas and secrets, defeating Supreme Leader Bear, and reaching the end of the map; the game also includes hidden achievements.

Races and discoveries

Race events use a mode that increases acceleration and the sensation of speed while reducing top speed. The map includes areas such as Texas, where you can see the Metrorail and a giant chilidog, and Mexico, where movement depends on the challenge area. You can also ask a robot bartender to serve you alcohol, and find additional comedy bits and movie sequences.
