I'm so so bad at platformers (I'm still fighting the first level--I WILL free that crab) but this is so delightful it's got me hooked. Best gameplay features: 1) must get hat back is maybe the best goal ever and 2) coins bad, maybe??? (not sure what the consequence is but I'm deathly afraid of finding out). The pixel art is absolutely amazing and I adore the crab sprite, especially the double jump-claws up detail. Great game, thanks so much for sharing it!

Update: I freed the crab! Had to throw in the towel on the tiger shark level (but wow was that a cool chase) because I kept dying on the first three spikes haha, but carried on through the other two levels (if that's the right word for those?). Loved the ending sequence so much (excellent crab facts btw). Again, great work!
