Love the visuals and gameplay! Crab + knife is always a great combo

Cool 3 lane game aproach! I especially like the leaf and the knife mechanic plus their anims. Very cool! GGs

Great submission! I did a quick recording playing your game in case you find it helpful: Save a Crab by Urcra, lain harley :), ollie l. | Cap Recording

Loved the art style, also really really liked the little touches where the crab had different expressions for different actions, felt super polished and impressive for a game jam!

You will see that I struggled with the pan handles at the start, I wasn't sure what the game wanted me to do for a while, and once it clicked there was no chance that chef was catching me 😆Maybe some subtle changes to the art, or another visual hint to show that it couldn't be jumped over when compared to the fish sprite, which I could jump over.

Had a blast playing, thanks for the submissions and well done!

Nice little game, all though the hands can be sneaky and get you even when you think your self. Took me a while to figure out the knife. Good work.

Simple core loop (similar to ours). Very nice to have little objects with effect in the game to give it some twists (leaf to hide, knife to fight). Everyone knows crabs can handle knifes effectively. Very well done in such short time!

Very cool concept, the visuals are especially well done. It was a bit hard to tell how far the crab could jump tho.

Awesome art and music! The game was a little bit difficult, I was not good at jumping at the right time and dodging all the possible dangers. But it runs smoothly on mobile (except maybe a missing restart button on mobile?), it's a clever concept for the theme, and I was impressed by the number of items you can interact with! A very cool entry, congrats!
