Love the theme! Nice underwater take on the flappy bird thing. Well done!

Developer(+1)

Thank you!

Submitted

hahaha The crab theme and song was funny as. The visuals were clean and fit the underwater setting well. Controls were responsive, though maybe the crab could fall a bit faster to up the challenge. A solid Flappy Bird style game with a nice vibe

Developer

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it

Submitted

Fun Flappy Bird clone with a theme song to match!

Developer

Thank you

Submitted

Crab, a story, and a tune for it all? Love it. A slight spin on the flappy bird gameplay would’ve been nicer, or even just the pipes being different pieces of trash? Either way, the game shines on it’s best bits.

Developer(+1)

Yah, I had thought about have different things other than just pipes. But I'm not sure how not to repeat same obstacles over time and also ensuring the crab can pass through the gap if that varies too.

Submitted

Cool approach to Flappy Bird, nicely done.

The esthetics is cool and easy to approach, fits the game jam's theme and cute at the same time.

1 suggestion would be to add a faster scroll speed over time, to make the game more challenging. But otherwise a simple-yet-solid game. Congrats!

Developer

Thank you for the suggestion.

Submitted

Nice take on the classic flappy bird game!

Developer

Thank you 

Submitted

Cool Flappy-bird interpretation! Also I liked generated song about crab :D

Developer(+1)

Thank you

This is so funny! Did you make this song just for this? Great job!

Developer(+1)

Nah, lyrics is AI generated, and so is the singing. Details in dev log. Glad you enjoyed it! This is so much more fun and faster than choosing the right soundtrack/music for a game.

Submitted

I like the 'Sweaty Crab' song you might have a #1 music billboard hit in your hands there lol!

Nice little game i had about 10 or so solid attempts and the best i could do was 18... those goddamn pipes must have invisible spikes on them or something...

Cheers for the fun :)

Developer

Thank you for your kind words. Glad you loved the song and had some fun :-)

It's maybe just a Flappy Bird like game, but it's definitely well executed, better than a lot of clones you can find on the App Store. Maybe a little twist would make it even better. Overall, it's a good submission, good job!

Developer(+1)

Thank you. I modelled it after Sweater Cat Studios' tutorial. The link to the video is in the dev log. He used the latest Godot game engine and zooms in to the relevant portion and explains well.

Submitted

5 star for naming!

In first glance it was a mario clone, but no... this is another bir_ I mean crab!
The game mechanics and the chalenge factor are great the music is awesome.

Crabtastic!

Check my game and rate it, if you have tim and:
Have FUN :3

Thank you! Glad you had a blast!

Tested your game too. A lot of thought went into that one!

Submitted

Really fun game and loved the music. I couldnt seem to make it fullscreen on my PC so parts of the game were cutoff for me, unfortunately. Overall, good work!

Developer (1 edit)

Thank you. It worked on my phone and Mac. Will test on a smaller screen computer. I think I set to allow full screen in itch. There’s a small box on the right bottom corner when clicked will set game to full screen.

Submitted

Lol, a Crappy Bird! The music is great. I’m really bad at the game, but I love the idea and the overall presentation. A lovely project!

Developer

Thank you!

Submitted

i can't really describe how creative that was, music and sounds were really good i love the vibe, fits the theme pretty good, great job!

Developer

Thank you

Submitted

The game is good but the collisions are a bit brutal 

Developer

Haha I’m not too good in this game myself.. too impatient 😂

Submitted

Reminds me of a mobile game that i played a long time ago lol

Developer

Flappy bird? 😜

Submitted

The song!!!! LOL. Lovely game that reminds me of Flappy Bird.

Developer(+1)

Thank you. Yes I followed a flappy bird tutorial and change things up. The link to the wonderful tutorial is on the dev blog 

Submitted (1 edit)

A well-made Flappy Bird clone. Visually, it looks consistent and neat. The music is definitely too quiet.

Congratulations - a simple but complete project.

Developer (1 edit) (+1)

Thank you. Yes, music was too soft on my pc but was fine on my mac which I had developed it on. Sound was ok on  phones.

Submitted

Really creative game. I loved the song, and the idea itself is very creative even though it's similar to Flappy Bird. My suggestion would be to make the crab fall a little faster to increase the difficulty. Also, on the game page, consider adding a fullscreen button. On smaller screens like laptops, the top and bottom get cut off.

Developer

Have you tried clicking on the botttom right box like icon at the corner? It blows to full screen.

Thank you for the faster fall suggestion.

Did you write this song??? IF so, that is amazing.  Was a very nice tune that matched the vibe of the game perfectly.  This was the happiest, sweatiest crab game I've ever played.

Developer (1 edit)

Thank you. No, I didn't write this song.  I gave Gemini AI the brief for the game and it wrote the lyrics. I asked to make it funny. Then I fed them to Suno AI. Gave it a genre, and see what it comes up with. We get 10 free creations per day, with 2 variations for each iteration. This was selected from a second day's iteration. At one time Suno won't create the lyrics, but now we can let it write the lyrics too but with the 10 songs per day limit, it's better to get another AI to write the lyrics, tweak them, then feed them to Suno.

Very glad it gave you much joy :-)

Submitted

Oh man, AI is crazy these days.  Great job in getting something so interesting and unique out of it.

Developer

Thanks!
