"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!

You can get like a billion doodaads around you! Its so silly lol. This is an awesome game and I love throwing a billion items at my enemies :D

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!

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!

Clever take on this type of game!

Really cute game. I love the idea, but after a while I felt a little weak and missed the big boom, when I attacked with a big stack. Otherwise I really liked how the surrounding objects can get faster and slower :D

Submitted(+1)

I had same qualms as the earlier commenter, but having the items stack around you and either shield you from damage or be used as attacks was great design. Also the art was great. Fun game!

Submitted(+1)

Relaxing and cool idea! May have needed some numbers tweaks - It was difficult to die but also difficult to actually kill anything.  The art and music is cute and fitting. Well done!

Thanks for your compliments and input Twoe! If you build up a big enough ball it is possible to reach over 10,000 damage per hit at full power

Submitted(+1)

Ah, maybe I was attacking too soon, because I think I was doing 2000 damage at most
