I absolutely love the style of the game and that ending is hilarious. The game itself feels fair and is engaging. I enjoyed playing it till the very end. Would be cool to have some background music, though.
Controls are fine, but mouse sensitivity was a bit too much for my liking. Because of that navigating the map and especially sniping these pesky crabs was a pain sometimes.

It's funny you mention all that!
Regarding the ending, I had to rush it during the last two hours of the jam. It was supposed to be funny too, but also much more polished, but apparently, it gets the job done.
As for the music - I was actually supposed to be the composer myself. That was the part I was most looking forward to, but the work turned out to be much harder than expected, and since my pixelartist teammate could only put very little time into the project, I had to decide what to cut. Because I didn't have time to create music I’d be proud of (or to add settings to let players turn it off if it got annoying), I ended up leaving the music entirely to focus on sound design.
For the same reason, I couldn't add mouse settings... But I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the game, even in its slightly undercooked state. Thanks for playing!
Lovely artstyle, fast arcade gameplay. Those pesky crabs stealing my resources. couldn't play in browser but worked well as .exe
