Cool concept. Would love to see it expand into something bigger!

Addicting gameplay loop, the sound effects and music also aided in that aspect. Good job!

The quality of game jam games keeps going up each year and this is no exception. Well done! Always have loved these types of games, gives me the power fantasy I need.

"You play as a crab". Okay, sold! I love the idea of picking up random objects and flinging them at enemies. Maybe some health bars would have been nice on the large hand guys, just so you know which ones are lower health to clean them up first. Very chill and entertaining game for sure!

It was satisfying doing beeg damage after accumulating a lot of items. I enjoyed the 376 seconds I lasted! And the art is very cute!

It was a fun little game, simple, but well polished, i knew about this types of games but i never had a chance to play them until now, it is fun ^^

Very nice atmosphere and cute art, music, etc.,! Presentation is very nice for a web game. I think it would have felt a bit better if enemies/bosses had a bit less health, or if there was some way to control where in your orbit the items were? felt like it was hard to kill them after your first explosion with lots of items

Sometimes I think "Why I'm a charging crab in space collecting cars toys and umbrellas to fight of cyclops people and eye hand things?" and then I remember. Why aren't I a charging crab in space collecting cars toys and umbrellas to fight of cyclops people and eye hand things?

Such a great game.  It's almost meditative.  Just perfect art, music, and sound effects.  Fighting back feels so good, even though you lose all of your possessions.  I could easily replay this one quite a bit.

Love the art style - a bit like a 2d katamari

all the different pickups and sounds were so cute! this game was adorable!

Submitted (1 edit) (+1)

Cute and pretty game with distinct style, made me smile with every pickup sound :)

Endless games feel strange, but managed to hold out 506 seconds, so I will take it as a win.
Best strategy seem to be just running away from enemies and using items as shield - feels like attack was a bit of a bait. 

Thank you for making this, I enjoyed it!

Also, the game is very well presented in itch.io landing page, gave me inspiration to improve my own.

I also made a katamari-inspired game but it's interesting to see how different our approaches were. Great concept! The art style is top notch. I would have loved to see some power-ups or special moves, or ramp up that difficulty with faster movement. Overall, great job! I had fun.

Fantastic work with sound! The sounds emitted by the stuff you picked made me smile many times and aligned so well with the soundtrack and the game vibe!

The only thing missing - a sense of progression. Or maybe I just failed to get further - the hands look too beefy, and I failed to kill even one, and when they made a crowd of 7 or so - it was too hard to hit them anymore, as they kept destroying my carb before I shoot.

Great submission overall, and quite original!
