Nice game, although Im pretty sure the crabs are going to be sick xD.

Nice work! I did a little recording of my playthrough in case it's helpful: crabbounce by Omegaxe | Cap Recording

Solid game but very challenging! I had a lot of fun trying to juggle all the crabs on the trampolines.

I feel like I didn't get much time to reach to a new crab spawning in, some sort of countdown or flash warning visual indicator would have made my chances of keeping the new crab alive a lot higher. I also found it tricky to know how far off screen the crab was, and when they would return. Could be interesting to see how an off-screen distance tracker would change the game difficulty?

Overall a great submission - well done!

Great idea! They do just pop in after a determinate amount of time, and it would be interesting to play around with distance tracking, I definitely feel there is a tuning of balance needed and that might be a good way forward. Thanks for your feedback and playing!

Really clever idea for the theme! I loved sketching paths to keep the crabs from falling.

Super fun and intuitive project! I definitely struggled a bit once more crabs were thrown in, but I enjoyed my time with the game a ton!

Developer

Thanks! I hope to slow them down so we can get more crabs in for more juggling fun

Nice core mechanic: combining drawing and timing. It was a bit hard for me. Otherwise a nice little core loop!

Developer

Thank you! Would love to spend some time with reducing the difficulty :)

Cool mechanic what with the trampolines. Couldn't get past three crabs though.

Developer

Thank you! Would have loved to spend more time tuning the difficulty but time crept up - I think my max was 5 with 99 bounces, so a very respectable score :D
