I became big crabbo. Life is complete
Cute little game! Visuals are nice and solid, but I think food is a bit out of place, remaking it in pixel art would fit more. I like how you start super slow, and progress bar barely moves, but then you grow and move much faster, this adds a feeling that size matters. I found myself only taking "up" shells, maybe making terrain less passable with obstacles would make gameplay more diverse and would add importance to keeping size manageable. Overall - I enjoyed the game, thanks for making this and congrats on submission!
Simple and efficient. I enjoyed the slow progression of the game, and the visible change of scale. I was almost expecting a fight against the seagulls! :p The hide button could be indicated in game though (or maybe it is and I just didn't notice it).
I have ascended, I am now a KING CRABBO. I loved the sprites on that little guy. You could build this out into a full on stealth game if you wanted.
CHONKY CRAB. He got blurry at moments but he also got chonky so 9/chonk for me
I AM THE BIG CRABBO
Really enjoyed that! Very nice art style and animations! Loved the soundtrack!
Great game! Nice gameplay, and a very interesting idea!
I got crabs
Sorry about that
I got crabs
I AM THE BIG CRABBO!!!!!
Very simple but yet pretty addictive! I really liked how the seagull attack was foreshadowed.
Cool game, i was a little lost at first since the camera was zoomed in a lot and it was a bit hard to get a bearing on where to go. The crab is veru cute. I had fun, good job!
Pixel art is really nice and i like that its a spin on Katamari.
Love the pixel art used for the crab! Would be nice if the rocks matched this art style, but understandable due to the time constraints. Had a good time with this.
Really fun game! I had a great time playing it
Really cool style and sound!
Nice use of scale from smol to HUGE! Also really liked the seagull effect.
The ultra big shell at the end was awesome
Lovely little game. Simple artstyle and gameplay, but fun nonetheless. I also needed a minute to figure out that the bar was a proximity bar, and not a progress bar regarding the number of shells to collected. The final king shell was a satisfying ending!
Great! I would recommend to make it clear what's the goal and why does some change from you can eat to you can't. Hope to see you in GMTK 2025!
