How it feels

You control a single-legged crab with only one button, slowly pressing forward through a gentle, story-driven journey of hope and kindness.

What players say

Players guide a one-legged crab through a platforming journey, using keyboard controls to hop across sand and wet rock. The game is forgiving, failure sends you back to the last checkpoint rather than starting over, but some find it tricky. A few report clipping issues when the crab touches walls.
