lovely game, though I hate the blue crabs XDDD

Have you considered that they are blue because they are sad??

and thus...they wanna go into the sea and suicide??? omg this game is deep...like the blue ocean

Timestamps are in description of video if you just want to see your game section :) Great job again by the way!

What detailed analysis! Thank you!

As far as I am concerned, those blue crabs are lobsters at heart!

No prob was a great little game one of my favourites for sure. Cheers for watching. 

     

Maybe the blue crabs are members of the 'Blue Lobster Cult' lol!

The work was cute and very soothing!
The crabs in the surf, too cute meow~!
I felt a bit of melancholy when the crabs were in a hurry to disappear into the undertow, but that's also one of my favorite elements.

Fun game, found a cool trick where I could pick up the block before it deteriorates and this way I could always carry one block and I felt cool doing it like that and the great thing was the enemy crabs made sure me finding this "tech" didn't ruin the challenge of the game as they would still wrestle move style throw me in the waves haha

A small and clear, good and complete game, I think it would be perfect as a mini-game in a larger and more complex game)
