I got Crabby home!!!

I loved the art and music/sfx for this game. I'm usually not super engaged by platformers (hence why I opted to make a story game for my own submission), but I actually liked this one a lot! I beat it to the end as testament. I could totally see this working as a mobile game, what with the portrait orientation-- just add more levels and it's bona fide. haha but overall great work!!

this isn't a farming game?

Thanks for playing, especially considering you're not engaged by platformers, and taking the time to comment and leave feedback. :) Congrats getting crabby home! Now I'm wondering if he developed any interdimensional relationships we're not aware of while in the 2D realm, LOL. ;)

game had a very nice look and feel to it. How do you beat the spiders though? I tried to bait them but they still manage to get a bite in.

Thanks. The trick to the spiders is to just get close enough to them (about a crabby body's width) so they can't touch you and they'll drop then you can get under them without getting bit. Thanks again for playing and taking the time to comment.

I'm not a fan of platformers in general (because I am pretty bad at them) but your game was so fun and the controls felt really smooth. I think both the music and the art really added to the 1Bit experience

Very snappy controls paired with a cool ascetic that feels like you are playing an original Gameboy game. I wish it had more than a single level but very good job indeed!

nice little platformer - and great choice of art style.
I can totally relate to Crabby's problems - I had a similar conundrum recently ;-)

I did get over to play, rate and comment on your game. Thanks for playing and taking the time to comment and leave feedback on mine. :)

Very cute game and art style. The game felt good to play as well. I got all 3 keys but nothing happened

Good stuff!

Submitted

StreetmanGamesDeveloper1 year ago

Thanks! Once you grab all the keys head up to the black side's teleport door in the upper right. That will get you to the white side where you can get to the exit teleport to get Crabby back to the "real world". I had planned to make the teleport animate to draw attention to it once all the keys were collected but ran out of time for that feature. Graphics were mostly from Kenney.nl with a couple mods here and there to get some things done to fit the vision. Had been wanting to do something with one of his 1-bit asset packs.

Theme was on point. Also i think you got a very clear style of code AND art alike. Felt super responsive. And plus: who doesn`t like a character as cute as crabby? Well done.
