Green Crab Grab is an arcade-like clicker game where you catch invasive crabs. Just figured it would be a good, small project to work on for my first real game.


Instructions:

Click on the green crabs to catch them while avoiding robotic ones, collecting powerups whenever possible.


That's pretty much it, different crabs have different point values too however, and the game speeds up the longer you play.


If you lose, keep practicing and feel free to share your awesome scores and times on social media!


Pressing the R key instantly causes you to lose while the space bar can be used instead of clicking if desired.

Not bad, would be better if it wasn't quite so punishing. Meter goes down very quickly and I found it very difficult to hit the crabs so I was done after a few seconds. It might be better if the meter lasted longer or the crabs came on more slowly, giving you time to get the hang of it a bit.

Starturbo responds:

I assume you mean that when crabs go off-screen, it should decrease less of the meter? Can definitely look into making adjustments there, just a bit tricky to balance since I think during development the game was less punishing, and a common criticism made was that it was too easy.

Still, thanks for trying it out and leaving this review! Feel free to elaborate if you can and I'll look into maybe addressing this.
