great little game and an idea i haven't seen a lot here, it's a bit random and i couldn't find any viable strategies but i get what you were going for, good job!

Yeah unfortunately there aren't any reliable strategies, I think the beginning when they all cram together is partly to blame, if a speedy one is caught at the back they have no chance. My original idea was to make it a management game where you have a team of crabs and you have to select the best one for the race, I might give that a try for future versions.
Anyway, thank you for playing! :)
