Castle on the Coast is a 3D Collectathon Platform Game by Big Heart Productions, intending to donate a portion of the proceeds of the game to support the Valley Children's Hospital
.
The game casts you as George, an anthropomorphic giraffe who's ship has docked in front of a Castle On The Coast. When he gets there, he finds it populated by a large number of children, all of whom are looked after by the wizards Vendrick and Aleandra, who oversaw the castle since everyone's parents disappeared. At least, that's how it used to be.
Lately, Vendrick's been getting kinda crabby. He's always angry, he keeps ordering others around, and he seems to have no regard for anyone else's feelings. No one is happy about this, but they can't get into his tower to complain about it. Well, as it so happens, George is quite skilled at wall jumping and running around. So, he puts it upon himself to try and collect all the keystones and whatnot around the castle to try and get to Vendrick.
The game was released on December 2nd, 2021.
Castle On The Coast contains examples of:
- Accessory-Wearing Cartoon Animal: Swirl the squirrel wears a green wizard's hat.
- Amphibian Assault: The castle seems to have a nasty giant frog infestation.
- Crate Expectations: Expect to run into plenty of crates in the game that block your route.

- Half-Dressed Cartoon Animal: George is an anthropomorphic giraffe who wears a blue shirt and red ascot and nothing else.
- Lock and Key Puzzle: The main goal of the game seems to be collecting the keystones to get into the castle tower. Though there's also some locked coloured doors that need the corresponding coloured key to open them up.
- Power Stereotype Flip: The ice mage dressed in blue, Vendrick, has a fiery and aggressive temper, and the fire mage dressed in red, Alejandra, is more timid and meek in comparison.
- Record Scratch: The sound plays when the game is paused.
- Red Oni, Blue Oni: Despite what their colors and specialties in elements indicate, Vendrick (the blue wizard) takes the role of the Red Oni in personality due to his temper and Alejandra (the red wizard) takes the role of the Blue Oni in personality due to her shyness.
