A bit like sumo, so you have to puch the other lobster into the sea urchins to slowly kill him. I only played 1p so didn't really get the full experience, but it was nicely polished with amazing character physics\/animations."},{"author_name":"longshorts","author_uid":"34312","time":"Apr 28, 2014 @ 8:33pm","epoch":1398716880,"text":"At first I thought the controls were quite clumsy, but then realised this simply added to the fun and struggle of the game!
