The rules are simple and easy to understand, yet very fun. And those Super Mario-style sprites are adorable!

It is also good to have an ending. Good job!

Submitted

Finally, both crabs were free!

Super Fun! Love the jump mechanic! it's challenging but not too hard! Good Job!

Haha, fun game.  Great audio, too. Should have some indication that you've gone too high on the second level, and need to come back down.  Also, a seagull suddenly came in when I was near an edge and created sadness.  Oh, and so glad you can place two shells at a time.  Saved me a number of times.  Great entry.

Hey thanks for playing, you’re right about the second level. I added an invisible collider in the first one, I should have made the same there. I didn’t notice it until I saw the streamer having exactly the same issue. Two shells seemed reasonable to me, the second for backup or to push back incoming seagulls.

Very unique and cool idea!!

Very cool game! Loyal crabs are the best!

I think with a few tweaks this could make you thousands of dollars.

Loved the atmosphere. Fun and joyful. I think it was exactly long enough for a game like this, too.

Submitted

really fun a bit hard to control at times and kind rng but nice game.

Submitted

Very interesting concept that resulted in a really fun game!

Intense and fun, only got 50 points on the first level but turned it around in second level with 25561 points!

Holy Crab! This was really fun! I like the 2 shell limit, and how u can use them to push away seagulls too! How did you make that neat bounce sound using audacity? The combo mechanic will definitely have me coming back for a new high score, especially if someone beats my current one of 61345 >:)

Hey thank you for playing, I’m glad that you had fun. I leave the sounds for the end, and I use https://sfxr.me/ to generate them. Some sounds are then adjusted or mixed, like the one of the combo in audacity. You discovered the pushing seagulls, and “undocumented” feature hahaha.

This would make an amazing mobile game, fun and difficult.

Submitted

This was a lot of fun, I like how getting combos gives you bonus points. the pixel art is pretty good too. all in all a great game.

Submitted

Very fun game albeit a bit too short.

Submitted

Loved the sound design and music.

The mad lad has done it, flappy bird 2.0

I like this cool mechanic! The seagulls were getting frustrating but that just shows you really got me into your game!
