Good entry! ended up getting 121.

Nice game! Thought colours might narrow down the crabs a bit much. Good music!

Great game ! Don't apologize for your art : it looks great, especially in such a short amount of time ! The only suggestion I could have is about the font choice : as you have a 8bit style art, an 8bit font might have been even better I guess. Sounds are cool too : nice music and cool effects :)

Developer

Yea I agree with the font. I was planning on vector art so it would of looked better with that. Thinking back I prop should have changed it.

Thanks for playing πŸ’š

Wow you got a lot done in 2.5 hrs with gdvelop. Nice effort.

Developer

Yea with GDevelop no code system and extensions it is pretty easy to get a game up and running fast. As long as you plan ahead.

(You can make a basic pong or flappy bird in a few minutes)

Nice work πŸ˜„I did a quick recording of my gameplay in case it helps to watch someone play: Thats my crab! by BENGAR | Cap Recording

Cool that you made it mobile friendly, I also liked being able to customize my crab. I think this is really well scoped for the game jam, a simple mechanic executed well. Just as I commented on the difficulty scaling I couldn't find my crab and lost πŸ˜†GG

Developer

Hey thanks for playing πŸ’š

Ye I ramped up the difficulty towards the end quite a bit so it hopefully  wasn't endless.

 I wanted the crab to be customizable so that the player had a connection rather than being given an object to find.

Submitted

Interesting take on the theme. Simple but works really fine. Too easy for me personally tough, makes the gameplay stale. Beside that great job. GG

Developer

Yea I think the difficulty on this type of game is going to be different for each individual as it depends on ones reading/reaction time.

Submitted

Very original core game loop! Very easy at first, not very forgiving either.

The game allows for great ways to scale the difficulty, just by increasing the similarity of other crabs to one’s own! Very creative game design.

Smart decision for a short time project, really allows to be expanded upon later!

Thanks for playing and the feedback πŸ’š

It is hard to get difficulty right as developers because we are constantly testing it. So I am happy it was fun and interesting. 

Also not a bad score! 

Submitted

Nice music! Something I find myself struggling with when I make my games even though I am a musician lol. I like the game as well but full screen button is added but not working??? I don't know if that is intended or a you issue or an itch issue but overall great game with the time restraint!

Developer

By not working do you mean it goes full screen but the game stay narrow? I made it narrow to by design so it fits better on mobiles/tablets. 

If its not going full screen at all then that us odd as it works for me.

Thanks for checking out my game tho πŸ’š

The music i found here on itch and just fell in love with it.

Submitted

The game will not go full screen for me, thinking its something on my end now lol.

Developer

The game will not fill the windows width only height. Kinda like a portrait phone display.

Either way thanks for playing πŸ’š

Submitted

Cool! It kept me engaged and eyes open, it would be great to see even more difficulties like moving crabs as once I got used to the difficulty it stayed the same

Developer

My original plan was crabs moving around a beach but then the heatwave hit and fathers day. I am just happy i got something made in time. 

Game is definitely a 2-3 run and done game for sure I do agree but that is perfect for a 3hr Jam I think.

Thanks for playing πŸ’š

Developer

Nice score.

Thanks for playing and your kind words πŸ’š

Submitted

Simple but effective entry. I did not encounter any bug during my run ;)

Developer

Hey thanks for playing my little game πŸ’š

Glad you didn't find any bugs.

And also, I love that the player can choose their own crab, it's something I haven't seen much in games of this type, it makes it more personal and fun

Developer

That was my thinking going into this game so I am happy others noticed.

Thanks for taking the time to reply πŸ’š
