I found this game really difficult, but I enjoyed the concept and the art!

It took me a while to figure out a viable strategy, but my run ended when it spawned platforms so far apart that it was physically impossible to jump high enough to proceed.

I like the art style and the concept is workable, but the mechanics definitely need some polish imo. But yeah, I like how the characters move at different speeds so my obvious first try strategy of moving them on top of each other and playing them as a single character was thwarted.

A good challenge. I appreciate the slight overhang you can have with the crabs on the edge of the clouds. I adore the sound effects you chose. With a bit more polish it'd make a great mobile game.

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed! I've played with the idea of expanding on it. Need to brush up on my visual design skills first :P

Very cool and simple, was fun to play! What annooyed me a bit, was that oone dies if the hit the ceiling.

Sorry you didn't like that! I found that if I let one crab go out of the top of the screen, you could just play as one crab and not care about the other!

This was great! It took me a minute to figure out they moved at different speeds. I died a bunch, but it was really fun learning the map and figuring out how to not have the red one get too far ahead. I got a hang of it in the end and it was fun to feel like I became skilled at it.  Great Job!
