About ShellMate
Shellmate is a fast, playful scoring companion. Keep the table moving while Shellmate handles the maths. Add your players, score each hand, track totals across rounds, and let the app help with end-of-round choices such as Stop and Last Chance. Designed for quick use during a real game, Shellmate supports the base game plus Extra Salt and Extra Pepper scoring elements, including collections, duos, multipliers, mermaids, colour bonuses, events and instant-win checks. Features: - Score rounds for 2 to 4 players - Track running totals and current round progress - Support for Stop and Last Chance round endings - Largest colour series entry for Last Chance - Base game, Extra Salt and Extra Pepper scoring support - Saved player names for faster setup - English and Dutch language options - A subtle glitchy sea-inspired interface - Privacy-friendly: no account, no tracking and no automatic data sharing Shellmate is built to be a companion at the table, not a replacement for the cards. It keeps score, helps reduce mistakes, and leaves the game itself where it belongs: in your hands. Shellmate is an unofficial scoring companion. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Studio Bombyx.
What’s new
Version 1.1.2 · Updated October 6, 2026
What’s new in Shellmate 1.1.2 See exactly how each player scored when the game ends, including round-by-round totals. • Game over now shows a full scoreboard, so last-round bonuses are no longer a mystery • Tied games follow the official rule: the player with the most points in the last round wins, and the app shows that tie-break • Four mermaids (or three with Dance of the Mermaids) can now end the game from the round call • Extra Salt seahorse scoring uses collection chips instead of a hidden menu • Saved players remember how many games they have won, with a reset when you want a fresh start • Mermaid colour fields match the number of mermaids you enter • Extra Salt unique cards now use the real deck limits: one lobster pair, two jellyfish pairs, and three starfish trios
