How it feels

A physics-driven crab platformer where you grab and spin through hazard-filled levels, expecting to fall a lot and laugh at the chaos.

What players say

Players describe a physics-based crab game that is demanding and often frustrating, with QWOP-like controls and heavy reliance on random number generation for obstacles and items. The difficulty is a point of contention: some find it rewarding, others call it unfair. Performance drops when many objects are present.
