Amazing! I did a quick recording if it's helpful to watch someone play: Crabitat by Mister Coolest, sleepicacti | Cap Recording
Super polished, really impressive art and animations, lovely background music, a simple game loop executed extremely well. I had fun seeing what all the different combinations of crabs were! I also really liked the faded effect on the outer edges of the screen, like it was slightly out of focus.
No notes from me - well done 😄
Best looking game at this jam imo, so much detail was put into the visuals. Tons of crab variation and nicely juiced up! Gameplay was to stale for me imo, it could be made into something very intersting tough, maybe something simillar to those evelotution mobile games? Overall great job! GGs
Loved it!!! I am really curious if you plan to continue with developing this game?
I'm glad you liked it! While we don't currently have any concrete plans to expand the game, we'd absolutely love to keep working on it!
Love the transitions and different variants of hermit crabs!
Cute game! impressive for such a short amount of time, a bit confused at first even with the instructions but i did get it, very cool!
Such a cute game ! I had to find how to play in the comments here though : do you think you can add the instructions in the description ? I think it will really help you have even better ratings, and it would be well deserved :)
I'm glad you liked our game! We've added instructions to the itch page description, that was a good suggestion!
Lovely passive game, now I don’t have to buy a real aquarium, I can just run that on my living room TV ;)
EDIT: also i love the UI barnacles! (* they are technically crabs themselves)
Great work for 6 hours.
Little slow for me tho so didn't get too far unfortunately. (Sorry I waited 5min for a few crabs)
Game has a great idea to it with all the possibilities of new crabs but just a bit confusing at the start.
What do the items top left do?
Anyway great effort and great entry 💚
Hi, thank you so much for playing! The button on the top-right opens your reserve storage. You can only have 6 crabs in the enclosure at one time, so that's where you can swap out your crabs.
These buttons? or whatever they are. What do they do?
Super cute game! I checked if I could make a nice gradient with them and target specific caracteristics by selecting the closest to my goal everytime, and it works ;)
Cool entry!
I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thanks so much for playing!
What do you do, cant find instructions, I wont vote till you do, give you a chance to explain the game so i can give a fair go. You might have just missed it. :)
Thanks for giving the instructions. Really cute game, nice and peaceful. Fantastic artwork. Nice entry.
From what I could see you wait until the crabs get love signs above them. Then click a sign and link it to another. No idea what the items in top left do tho?
Hello, thanks for trying out our game. When two crabs have heart bubbles above them, you can link them to breed a new crab. If you have more than 6 crabs in your enclosure already, the new crabs will be added to the storage menu on the top-right. Hope you enjoy!
