Great job, great work. I like the sound effects used, a background track would have been great.
I did find a small issue though - the crabs tended to go to the top left, so i just stayed there and kept clicking......

Fun game, I really like that you had the combo system showing "x6" or however many you'd gotten. Mechanics like those are always fantastic

Tactical FishingWhat a satisfying crunch! The spikes are such a clever touch, and really make it so you can't just spam. I loved the variety of grabs and assets on the board. Such a fun and polished little game, thanks for making it!

Mari's AdventureSimple concept but amazingly executed, the sound feedback on crushing a crab makes it so much more satisfying. The crabs dig into the sand really quickly so it is annoying to get them sometimes, but that adds to the challenge of the game and makse playing for a new highscore more fun
Overall a good game!

Fish & ChipsCrunchiness 10/10
Speed of crabs: Too fast. Can also sometimes spawn at the edges, head towards the edges and immediately despawn.
Bug: I can still smash crabs and change the score after dying lol

MagicBeachBallThanks for the feedback. The 'crunchiness' really does make up for at least 60% of the game haha. For the crabs spawning right at the edge of the screen, that's probably an aspect ratio problem. Do you know what aspect ratio you're computer is using?
For the bug you found, the main score does not change even if you smash the crabs after dying so I just didn't bother fixing it haha.
Thanks for playing the game!
nice game!, i really like the art :)
some times when i try to replay the game nothing happen and i need to refresh the page to fix it

Seaside KeeperA really solid game concept with very solid excecution! Crushing the crabs feels visceral and fun, and trying to keep a combo going while avoiding the spikes was challenging. The collision did feel slightly odd at times feeling like I had smashed a crab when I hadn't, but overall a great time!
Fantastic work!

DeathballThis was fun. I did run into a small bug after clicking the return arrow to go back to the main screen and clicking play. The crabs never appeared after that. Good job overall :-)

EelsplosionThat was more fun then what I thought I would have going into the game! Great art and great basic concept to the game!

O'Fishal FishingJust like everyone else, I feel like sometimes I was dead on and it didn't work. Also, sometimes the crabs disappear so quickly there's no chance of hitting them. That said, a solid entry, it will surely do well!
