Loved this mechanic and take on the theme.

Unique game mechanic.  Nicely done.

"Do you want to test my game?"

I actually played earlier, I just didn't comment before ;). If you want feedback, just play other games and leave your comments. It's much more natural than begging for plays :).

I've already voted on most of the games too; I just didn't leave comments—like you didn't leave a comment on my game.

This is was a fun game, and implementing a high score system in 3 hours is awesome! I managed to get the top high score by just moving my cursor around the edge of my screen and that kept the crab moving. Once I figured that out it became much easier, so maybe making it so you have to keep the cursor within the track could help. Awesome job!

It's hard to abuse this glitch with two screens XD. You used the controls and found a way to keep him moving, so it's totally legal :D

Cute graphics and fun to play. I genuinely feel sorry for the crab when it explodes

Nice game. Please update your instructions to state that a life will be lost if the crab reaches the cursor. When it happened the first time, it was not immediately clear what killed me. Good idea on the theme.

Actually, the crab loses life whenever he travels less than a set number of pixels over time. Reaching the cursor is part of that, since it makes him stop ;)
