Fun game, challenging but with good gameplay balance and cool obstacles. The sprite art and music design were solid and led to an engaging experience worth having. A good concept and use of limitation and overall good submission to the jam.

Developer

Thank you! For me too, it is the first time I release a project publicly (except a demo my team is working on) So nice to get that much people's opinions

Submitted

It's fun and certainly deserves more work on the graphical side! Well done!

Fun game! The art is great, and being a hermit crab that shoots freakin’ laser beams is as awesome as it sounds.

Crab Squad Assemble!!!

Good luck with the jam! I hope you like the other games in the jam too<3

Thank you! A lot of the games I tried were really fun, I think yours made me laugh the most!

Fun game great concept my only issue isn't the start of the game but the movement seems a bit clunky

and with that fixed, it would be a bit more solid. had fun playing thanks for making it 

Developer

Thanks! I am taking notes on how to improve it :D

Took me a second to get going, but the idea is pretty cool. It is very hard at the start though, needs to start up a bit easier and then ramp up!

I can't seem to reach the 100 mark, the collisions with the shells are rather finnicky.  :|
It was still a fun experience though!

I can't get past that shark at the beginning, still fun though.

High score 271! Fun game. I agree with others that the difficulty is a bit much at the start, but if you stick with it for several rounds it gets better. Good job! :)

Developer(+1)

271 is a really high score! Glad you sticked with it :D

Interesting concept, but I think the game is too hard right at the start, there is no time to get used to the controls. Maybe tone it down a little bit and scale the difficulty with time.

I persisted though and I was able to have a lot of fun!

Developer

Yes the whole interest was to make the player want to try again to familiarize with the controls and reward it with a better score ... that said the curve is really too steep from the start haha

Sharks, shells and lasers... Of course it's FUN =) and hard !

Submitted(+1)

Haha this is ridicously hard in the beginning :D I was also quite suprised by the laser. With some polishing this game could really become a nice gem. Keep it on!

Developer(+1)

Awww thank you! We will most likely be putting some updates (at the very least fixing some bugs)

A great game for your first jam. I really liked the art. The screen shake when firing the laser felt very satisfying.

Developer

Thank you! <3

As the guy who didn't read the control instructions, I realized that you can stop only after the 4th run.

The idea is good. I liked it. But realization is kind of tricky. I think that the same idea will be better in 3D or with a character controller. 

I don't understand how I should use dashes.

It's a very good result for the first jam. Good Luck!

Developer

Thank you for your feedback!
The dashes can be used to evade the sharks if done early enough but it blocks your up/down movement so you must choose carefully when to use it ;)
