Super cute art style! How do you not love the looks of these crabs? Would benefit from popup tutorial on how to play after starting new game and tooltips describing what each icon means when selecting another map. Controlling the crabs separately plays into the game's strength of using strategy, but on the other hand, not being able to control them all as a singular group plays into a weakness. This is even more apparent during the boss fights. Overall, it's an addicting and fun game with great art and cute UI elements :)

Hey, thanks for playing!
The game is in the early state, so I haven't built a proper tutorial yet, focusing on core gameplay. I do have plans for it, though!
As for the "group control" - you're not the first one to mention it, I am considering it. Right now, it is as you said - strategic positioning is the big part of the game, and I would not want to take away from it. I do hear you, and I would like to address the situation from the different angle - by introducing more mechanics that utilize individual controls and help to maintain formation.
I am happy that you find this game fun! Makes me want to work harder to improve it!
