How it feels

A frustrating but absurdly charming crab platformer where you flail your way from a dull office to a mysterious island, collecting hats while grappling with your own inadequacy.

What players say

Players praise the precise controls and creative level design, with multiple routes and easter eggs encouraging replay. Many call it a brutally tough rage game, but split on controller support and missing keybind settings.
