Fun game! Really nice job with the sprites and sound. Super cute.
I don't understand how to survive the crabs, though. It takes me a couple of hits to kill them, and they always hit me back... so after a handful of crabs, it's game-over!
Heya! Yeah the crabs can be pretty annoying, it's a bit hard but you can hit them and escape before taking any damage! Also, it's possible to get enough damage to one-shot them using the strength upgrades, I put a video together to show getting through the crab and then the first pirate levels if that helps!
