About Once Upon a Shell
Once Upon a Shell is a roguelike racing game in which you play as a tortoise competing against a pack of overconfident hares. Slide downhill on your shell to build speed, then create movement combos between races and try to win The Hare Cup.
Race and build speed
Momentum drives the chaotic races. Tuck into your shell to drift across the grasslands, and unlock movement upgrades that change how you gain speed and how fast you can become.
Win the Hare Cup
Conquer all four divisions in a single run to prove that a tortoise can beat the hares. The races take place in a watercolor storybook world that continues the tale of The Tortoise and the Hare.
