This is such a clever game. Really enjoyable mechanics in this one. Great work!

This game is fun and super nostalgic for me! The game of trying of beat the final LVL and hiding from mother crab works out super well! Amazing game!

Okay I love this. All five stars x 4! So silly and fun. The meta game is the best ever. But there are things I must know in a future sequel. Why do tiny fish bother my crab so much? Who's the creep in the monacle? Is that my dad? Is that why mom is so uptight and so distracted she can't see the TV's on? Hahahaha. One of my favorites of the jam so far.

The mechanics are quite fun and clever. It's a game with charm and very enjoyable.

Lol that was very meta. A game of playing a game inside a game... as a crab playing as a crab. Love the premise and the music. Despite being interrupted playing my game so much, the mechanic was actually quite fun, especially towards the end as it got faster and you had to react quicker. Felt almost like a stealth game in a way!

Love the graphics and sounds of picking up the purple shells. Very charming game. I really enjoyed the detail of the crab's "thumbs" on the controller. Only thing that felt off was not being able to crab claw the little fish in the game. Felt like it should affect them somewhat.

Had a great time! 50/50 | 6/14

Thank you for your kind words, and I enjoyed watching you play! You did a good job reacting when mum came in before the music had finished - that's not meant to happen! Interacting with the fish was definitely a mechanic in my to-do list, but unfortunately ran out of time. I'm keen to come back to this game and flesh out the remainder of my ideas and incorporate feedback 😁

This feels like I'm actually playing an NES controller inside the game. I love the fact there is a balance between the different mechanics in the game and they happen at different times. For example, I have to play a crabby platformer game while hiding the NES controller from mom crab. If I get spotted playing while the door opened and mom saw me playing, it's game over for me xD! Overall, this is a really well made. The concept and design ideas behind this game were top-notch! Great job!

feels just like an NES game, the audio feels like the NES. graphics are bare-bones. The gameplay could use a bit more detail. such as more enemies and more environmental elements.

I fell way too many times, more than I'd like to admit honestly. Great job!

I got 43 coins and 5 shells. Not only the twist is hilarious including the glance of mother crab, and it's not only anectodal as I got a Game over in the middle of my first game while being too much focused on the plateforming part, but the plateforming is also actually pretty decent, so overall I had fun playing the game.

What an original and funny idea! I like how the music accompanies the whole process of opening the door and such. Very fun ^^
