This was super cute!! I honestly got stuck on one or two of the levels, but the puzzles were very well designed overall! Big fan of crab :))

i love crabbing it my best time start to finish is 4m06s

Scuttling and climbing, as all crabs must be. (Seriously this rules. the only critiques I have are the color saturation on the level backdrop. And that's just personal beef.) 

The mechanics? The way the level design encourages player interaction and exploration? The addictive process of trial and error to find keys?! The claw mechanics? Mario reference? the CRAB SPRITE?!?!?! LEVEL SELECT MENU?!  Platformer. Heaven. I love this.

finally that sun from SMB3 gets what he deserves

The way you introduce the mechanics is very clever and it has a nice difficulty curve.

Very well polished plus every good indy game ends with you killing the sun.

This was very solid, the level design was top tier!!!

This is awesome! I love how the mechanics start simple but you gradually introduce more gameplay mechanics with the same basis. I really enjoyed it!

Such a good game. Should seriously think about making this a bigger project and dropping on steam after a few months!

Very happy with this one. Simple and easy to understand mechanics and effective level design. Also very impressive that you managed to pack 12 levels into a jam.

Awesome game! The mechanics feel really good to control - I’m guessing you spent quite a while tuning it! The game objects are also really well-communicated with implicit tutorialization. Nice work!

SO CUTE!!!
