I really like the art style and overall execution — especially the way the game doesn’t fully reset when you miss the star. Great touch!

Loved the artstyle. At first I didn't understand why I was seeing my "ghost" crabs until i realized i can actually collision with them and it can prevent me from reaching the starfish! Pretty cool mechanic

The art style is absolutely gorgeous. I literally squealed when I found all the different colored crabs and their animation is flawless and the mechanics are so unique, really good work!
